Dawn and Brian's Wedding Day at Brigalias https://solidrockphotographyjc.net/blog/2021/3/dawn-and-brians-wedding-day-at-brigalias Hey guys!

 

Two weeks ago my team and I were lucky to kick off wedding season again with Dawn and Brian!

 

Solid Rock Photography at BrigaliasSolid Rock Photography at Brigalias

Bridal Prep was taken at the nearby hotel and most of the wedding footage was captured at one of my favorite venues , Brigalia's. 

 After the ladies placed their belongings in the bridal suite, we setup a pretty epic First look for the couple under the sign of Love. We even had a special guest puppy join in for a few fun photos! This totally surprised Brian. 

 

Solid Rock Photography at BrigaliasSolid Rock Photography at Brigalias

The entire grounds were available for us to take lots of great wedding photographs. some of my favorite shots are the classic style photo's taken on the bridge. We even did some cool photo's near the newest Barn addition to the venue. I was super excited once i learned the ceremony was being held inside the barn as well.

Roxi & Tony's Microwedding at Joseph Ambler Inn https://solidrockphotographyjc.net/blog/2020/10/roxi-tonys-microwedding-at-joseph-ambler-inn Roxi & Tony

 

768A7071768A7071

It’s no secret that COVID-19 changed the wedding game. With new terms like “virtual wedding” and “micro wedding”, couples are navigating the “new normal”, when it comes to planning and hosting their special day. Roxi and Tony are a prime example of holding an intimate and beautiful micro wedding in the age of a Pandemic.

768A7130768A7130

Roxi and Tony were married with 25 people in attendance at the historical Joseph Ambler Inn in North Wales, Pennsylvania. The Joseph Ambler Inn is an ideal venue for not only any wedding, but in particular, a micro wedding. Five fully restored buildings on 12 acres of land bordering Bucks and Montgomery Counties, the inn lends a gorgeous farmhouse feel with modern amenities for its guests.

768A7181768A7181

When it comes to planning a micro wedding, important elements to keep in mind are your guest count, indoor and outdoor venue options and a detailed timeline to ensure plenty of time to celebrate with your loved ones. Roxi and Tony made sure that their 25 guests were the closest to them, to bear witness of their love and devotion. Roxi and Tony’s wedding party was incredibly simple: one bridesmaid and I have to admit, the closeness and love between the two was something to capture.

6U2A26196U2A2619

They opted for a gorgeous palette of blues, reds and lush greenery that was highlighted by Joseph Ambler Inn’s perfectly manicured grounds and stone buildings. My photo session captured the bridal prep, first look, their family photos and ceremonial photos as well. What I really enjoyed was the Autumn feeling of the day without Autumn taking over the wedding day.

 

I really enjoyed photographing Roxi and Tony’s day. It was a seamless wedding that was filled with love and celebration.

Styled Wedding Shoot at Eagle Manor https://solidrockphotographyjc.net/blog/2020/9/styled-wedding-shoot-at-eagle-manor Hello Everyone!

768A2868768A2868

 You guys all know by now that I love bridal photoshoots. :)  Last month I was able to photograph another lovely styled bridal shoot with my friend Cristina of Carisma's Design. Carisma's is a great wedding management and planning company that I HIGHLY recommend. Cristina is a great person and put's everything she has into each and every wedding occasion.

Eagle Manor was selected as our venue of choice for its combination or beautiful architecture and green, open fields. They also had a super convenient room reserved for our bridal makeup artist, Gina Jost Artistry. During hair and makeup prep , I had assistance staging the beautiful wedding gowns provided by , Laura with Laura and Leigh bridal. They went well with each concept for the styled shoot. 

 

The first design had a vibrant color scheme. The table displayed a free flowing arrangement and dusty rose table runner with gold taper candles. This look is a great option if you are looking for a natural table setting to compliment the outdoors.

Our model , Fallon looked stunning in her Eddy K dress provided by Laura and Leigh bridal. Her flowing veil also complimented the scenery so well. Fallon was also super fun to photograph. :)  The first look photo's were taken in front of the natural rustic table.

   Good day everyone! It was such a pleasure capturing Nikki's wedding day. Leading up to the wedding I had so many great discussion's with Nikki , John and Mom that they immediately felt like family when I arrived. All the bridesmaids were super helpful and even helped me setup a few rockin' detail shots.

www.Solidrockphotographyjc.net Nikki's Wedding Day at the Venetian.www.Solidrockphotographyjc.net Nikki's Wedding Day at the Venetian.www.Solidrockphotographyjc.net Nikki's Wedding Day at the Venetian.

As you all know by now, I'm a "good vibes only" type wedding photographer and Nikki truly contributed to the cheer and positivity of the day. She was constantly joking with the crew as we captured the beautiful footage. I recall her giving us all the name "Dream Team".

After bridal prep we met Jon at his parents house. Jon was pretty laid back and easy to photograph as well. We were able to capture him putting on his tux as well as other wedding detail items. Afterwards we grabbed the groomsmen and took nice line up photo's of the group outdoors.

This was my first time shooting a wedding at the Venetian. I was immediately taken in by how large and beautiful it was. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The large reception ballroom was perfectly lit and made every wedding photo perfect.

Hey everyone!

I’m so happy to officially kickstart my 2020 wedding season with such a lovely couple.
Myah and George celebrated their special day at the Historic Smithville Inn. 
It was fun hanging out with the groomsmen during their prep time. I forgot to mention that George is an awesome music teacher. He broke out the guitar and played a few great tunes as the guys watched on. They even cracked a few jokes.

Solid Rock Photography by Jamal CormierSolid Rock Photography by Jamal Cormier
Shortly afterwards, I met Myah for bridal prep. I immediately knew then that this was going to be an epic wedding. Myah was so excited and very stunning in her Trumpet Mermaid Scoop Neck Wedding Dress. She is such a natural beauty , and her great personality really made the portrait session a piece of cake.
First look was held at the gazebo near The Smithville Inn. Inside the gazebo George also played a touching tribute to Myah right before a rustic portrait session.
The wedding ceremony was held inside the Absegami Room which perfectly accommodated all the wedding guests. Myah also used her old guitar as a wedding guest book which was very unique. 

Solid Rock Photography by Jamal CormierSolid Rock Photography by Jamal Cormier
After the wedding vows, George and Myah chose The Luckiest" by Ben Folds for their first dance song. We had a total of two speeches, one from the best man and one from the matron of honor. 

I’m so excited for 2020’s season.

When you think about it, any wedding, during any time of the year is beautiful. But, everyone has their favorites; mine being a Spring wedding. There’s a message that resonates throughout the Spring months. Flowers blooming, skies filled with blue skies, a sign of life, new beginnings, rebirth. When I go back through the photographs of Elizabeth and Brian’s wedding day, I see just that. It’s not just another special day, it’s a day of new beginnings and chapters.

6U2A40776U2A4077

            Elizabeth was one of the happiest brides I ever had the pleasure to work with and her soon-to-be husband, Brian was just as joyful and relaxed and his counterpart. The ceremony was a perfectly lit church, The Sacred Heart, and enveloped both Elizabeth and Brian’s friend and family with tradition, commitment and love. Their wedding party and color scheme showcased pops of color which is such a terrific thing to photograph. The personal touch I loved the most was where Elizabeth got wedding ready: in her childhood home, photographs taken on her bed that was hers since she was a little girl.

6U2A43156U2A4315

 

            From the ceremony to the reception, held at the Trenton Country Club, each moment captured was a moment worth capturing. The photos taken in the family garden, the father and daughter first look, Elizabeth and Brian’s first dance and the flower petal send off. It truly was a romantic wedding and I couldn’t be happier for the both of them and their families.

 I had such a great day making beautiful wedding photo's with Jenn and Connor! I've had the pleasure of knowing Jenn and her beautiful bridesmaids for quite a few years, so it felt like I was basically hanging out with friends. The girls had me laughing and joking all day.   :) 

 

Getting ready photo's were taken at a nearby hotel and then we proceeded to the wedding venue. 

The Baldwin University venue was lovely and the staff was just as friendly as well. As soon as I entered the grounds, I was met with immediate hospitality from Jane , the event coordinator. She took me on a private tour of the grounds and made me completely comfortable with the venue.

Noelle and Adrian's Wedding at the Trump National Golf Club https://solidrockphotographyjc.net/blog/2019/7/noelle-and-adrians-wedding-at-the-trump-national-golf-course 768A7412768A7412


There’s something to be said for an outdoor Summer Wedding. It’s hard to pinpoint
exactly what makes a Summer wedding so spectacular because there are so many elements
and details that set it apart from other seasonal events. Noelle and Adrian had one of those
Summer weddings. The type of wedding that encompasses warmth, brightness, love and
tranquility.

6U2A61756U2A6175
On Saturday, June 8th I had the pleasure of capturing Noelle and Adrian’s beautiful day
at the Trump National Golf Club in Philadelphia. Prior to the ceremony and reception, Noelle
and her lovely ladies got their makeup and hair done by Amanda Atoori Beauty Artistry at
Noelle’s parents home in Sewell, New Jersey. What I truly loved about the look of Noelle and
her bridesmaids was the pop-of-colors that radiated from their dresses and florals, but having
this sleek and calm style to them.

768A7483768A7483
Noelle’s dress, designed by Calla Blanche and scooped up at Bridals by Cyndi, was a
romantic cut with lace detail at the top. Adrian and his groomsmen went for a lighter look with
their suits, ties matching the bridesmaids and everything worked so beautifully together. The
florals, full of opened garden roses by the talented Always Beautiful Floral by Stella Castnet
were the perfect wedding flowers for Noelle and Adrian’s wedding day style.

6U2A64206U2A6420
I had such an amazing time being a fixture in their wedding day. Every person involved
in this gorgeous day was so full of life, love and humor; it made what can be a high-level stress
day, easy and weightless. After their living ceremony, we moved indoors in the gorgeous venue
and it looked every bit the vision Noelle and Adrian had. From the sequin accents to the napkins
matching the sea blue theme, not one detail went unnoticed and it truly was such a vision.
Before the heartfelt and heartwarming toasts made by Rachel and Matt, Noelle and
Adrian had their first dance as husband and wife to a beautiful song Millionaire by Chris
Stapleton. I have to say, I do love watching all of the guests fixated on the newly married couple
as they dance their way into a new chapter of their lives. There is such a natural energy with
Noelle and Adrian, it’s hard not to take notice. As they cut into their gorgeous wedding cake, by
Country Sweets Bakery, I couldn’t wait to get back to my office to edit these photographs and
share them with you.
I truly wish them a lifetime of happiness and health together and I couldn’t be happier to
be chosen as their wedding photographer.

Bridesmaids Gifts Boutique Unboxing https://solidrockphotographyjc.net/blog/2019/5/bridesmaids-gifts-boutique-unboxing 768A9838768A9838 ​ 

 

As a wedding photographer, I not only get to capture the beautiful memories of a wedding day, but I also get to absorb the personal touches that surround the couple with their friends and family. When you’ve been asked to be a part of a couple’s special day (particularly by being in the bridal party), it’s always been customary to be given a gift. A token of appreciation, celebration and joy. A thank you for taking part of the journey, that is, their wedding day and marriage. By being a part of the ever evolving “bridal business”, there are always new trends, new styles and new products. The one thing that will never go out of style, are matters of the heart.

768A9818768A9818

​One of my favorite wedding gift items is from, Bridesmaids Gifts Boutique. We have a gorgeous rustic monogrammed box and inside? A cotton shawl (that comes in many different colors) and a matching monogrammed journal. Each special lady in your bridal party can having something a little customized and personal. A shawl in their favorite color, a stunning gift box and journal with their monogram for them to write their thoughts down. If you were going back and forth on what to get, what’s budget friendly, what has meaning without being over-the-top. This wedding gift box is exactly what you need.

Check out the Youtube link below to see my unboxing video!

Jessica and Kevin Gambrino's Wedding Day at Clarks Landing Yacht Club https://solidrockphotographyjc.net/blog/2019/4/jessica-and-kevin-gambrinos-wedding-day-at-clarks-landing-yacht-club            Jessica and Kevin Gambrino's Wedding Day at Clarks Landing Yacht ClubJessica and Kevin Gambrino's Wedding Day at Clarks Landing Yacht Club

 

  There’s something to be said about a wedding near the shoreline. A sense of peace and relaxation, of fresh beginnings and new chapters. The warm sun, salt air and gentle sea breezes is a level different from any other. Jessica and Kevin’s wedding was exactly that. A day of good vibes and beautiful smiles dedicated to their love.

 

Jessica and Kevin Gambrino's Wedding Day at Clarks Landing Yacht ClubJessica and Kevin Gambrino's Wedding Day at Clarks Landing Yacht Club

 

            Jessica and Kevin were married at one of my favorite Jersey shore venues, Clark’s Landing Yacht Club located in Point Pleasant Beach. The reason for Clark’s Landing being one of my favorite venues is simply because their attention to detail and warm mannered staff mean everything to a couple and their families when planning a wedding. Their building flush across the water with docks and big windows throughout to catch a view at every turn, is what makes anyone having a wedding there, worth it. Jessica and Kevin were an absolute delight to work with; all smiles and laughs-incredibly easy to capture the love they have for one another. Jessica’s bridesmaid’s were beyond gracious and helpful, not only to Jessica, but to me as well! Constantly fluffing and adjusting her dress, making her laugh and looking at her with such adoration, made photographing them and Jessica effortless.

 

Jessica and Kevin Gambrino's Wedding Day at Clarks Landing Yacht ClubJessica and Kevin Gambrino's Wedding Day at Clarks Landing Yacht Club

            After Jessica and Kevin said their vows in front of their friends and family, it was time to eat, dance and be photographed. Their first dance was beautifully choreographed to Mariah Carey’s song “Hero” and photos I took of them on the dock and in front of the outdoor floral area overlooking the shore, made for amazing moments. I had a great time capturing another shore wedding and I truly wish Jessica and Kevin a lifetime of happiness. Any time I have a great experience at a venue, I need to give credit where credit is do. Clark’s Landing Yacht Club made my job incredibly simple by offering a wonderful location, extremely helpful staff, fantastic lighting and decor and plenty of space to move around.

            There are so many components that go into having a wedding day be photographed successfully. When the photographer has the chance to work with (not just for) the couple, their family, the venue and guests it makes for a great event to be had by all. You can see with each photo I share along with the blog post, that there is this naturalness with every person I took a photo of. A romantic classicism that is timeless. A shore wedding for the books.

South Asian Bride Magzine Photoshoot at Cairnwood Mansion https://solidrockphotographyjc.net/blog/2018/12/south-asian-bride-magzine-photoshoot-at-cairnwood-mansion 6U2A70666U2A7066

I cultivated a photoshoot showcasing the beauty and wonderment of the traditional style of Indian bridal gowns with modern-day elements. The shoot was hosted at the lavish Cairnwood Estate in Bryn Athyn, Pennsylvania. If you follow my blogs, you’ll remember reading about this same venue in various bridal photo shoots I have organized before. This architectural masterpiece has been home to marriage celebrations since 1896 and is reminiscent of a French Chateau. It’s not only an exquisite environment to have a photoshoot, but evident to host a wedding.

                My stunning models for the day, were draped in the most elegant style and design from premiere bridal boutique, Nazranaa in Iselin, New Jersey. Since 2012, Nazranaa has dressed brides and grooms from all over in traditional Indian garb for their days’ worth of wedding celebrations. Paired with the perfect jeweled pieces by Glitter Trunk, each model brought breathtaking tailor to each photograph.

                Since I photograph many Indian weddings, it was important to me to become more enlightened on the topic of style and tradition and by working along side Nazranaa, it became evident to me how much I truly enjoy capturing weddings from all different cultures and beliefs. Nazranaa specializes in lehengas, sarees and anarkalis for women and sherwanis and kurta pajamas for men. It’s an endless array of outfits along with customs design options, as well.

                I had such an experience with this photoshoot-I really love diving into to different bridal styles. What’s trending versus what’s traditional. Observing how a bride transforms into a Goddess right before my very eyes-working along side fellow vendors who feel the same as I do. It’s not just about “the shot”, it’s about the experience.

Bridal Fashion Styled Shoot at Cairnwood Mansion, Bryn Athyn PA https://solidrockphotographyjc.net/blog/2018/11/bridal-fashion-styled-shoot-at-cairnwood-mansion-bryn-athyn-pa 6U2A77546U2A7754

I wanted to showcase the intersectional styles of both vintage romanticism and modern design of the various bridal gown and jewelry designers featured. The location for the shoot was hosted at the Cairnwood Mansion Estate in Bryn Aythn. Pennsylvania which lent a stunning aesthetic for the tone of our day. We took advantage of the natural light that enveloped the indoors of the estate and was able to illustrate perfectly, the construction of both the gowns and elegant jewelry sets. We were lucky to work with such talented vendors on this shoot, who provided us with wonderful pieces.

6U2A77256U2A7725

    From left to right we have; dresses designed by Marisa Bridal that encompasses the modernized romantic style we introduced above. Elegant textures and a relaxed form-fitted cut photographs exquisitely to show elements of classicism. The dress on the left is paired with an oxidized Victorian styled Bridal Set that is ideal for the bride planning a vintage themed look, middle dress is paired with a Crystal Maze Necklace set, encrusted with high-quality Cubic Zircon which ads glamour and a bit of Art Deco elements to the moving piece. The sequined top ball gown designed by Hailey Page for Jim Hjlem offers a lavish detail for the top of the gown that transitions seamlessly paying homage to simple elegance of the 1940s. The gown is paired with the Princess Pearls Choker set which was inspired by Audrey Hepburn’s forever elegance. All of the jewelry featured was provided by Glitter Trunk Jewelry and the gowns by Country Way Bridal in Haddonfield, New Jersey.

Bethany's wedding day at Icona Avalon, New Jersey https://solidrockphotographyjc.net/blog/2018/10/bethanys-wedding-day-at-icona-avalon-new-jersey  

6U2A33166U2A3316

“Heaven’s a little closer in a house by the sea” and in this case Heaven was a little closer by a wedding near the sea. Bethany and Robert’s wedding was the perfect beach wedding. It was an elegant affair that tied together shore living with classic style. The ceremony and reception was held at the lovely Icona Beachfront Resort in Avalon, New Jersey. 

6U2A37456U2A3745

    It’s an entire oceanfront block of endless waves and grains of sand that lend itself graciously to its many guests. Bethany and Robert had a beautiful group of people to help support and celebrate their love and dedication to one another. Clean lines, classic elements and pops of color set the tone for their wedding aesthetic and with an ocean background-it was an amazing wedding to photograph. 

    Bethany and Robert have so much love for one another and it shows in every single photo that I have with them, their friends and family hold them in the same esteem and it really did make my heart melt.

Stephanie's wedding day at Auletto Caterers https://solidrockphotographyjc.net/blog/2018/10/stephanies-wedding-day-at-auletto-caterers 768A9182768A9182

 

Stephanie’s wedding was a classic rustic romantic themed wedding with touches of whimsicality mixed in. I had a wonderful time photographing her wedding and enjoyed the energy that her bridal party, friends and family brought to their special day.

    The groom and groomsmen all donned colorful, funky socks which a perfect pairing of their entertaining personalities and their casual suits was while Stephanie’s ladies showed off their elegant bridesmaids’ gowns in a flowing aesthetic with a soft color palette. I fell in love with the beautiful simplicity and abundance of laughter and love that flooded both ceremony and reception.

 

768A9022768A9022

    The ceremony and reception was held at Auletto Caterers in Deptford, New Jersey. The ambience was welcoming and warm, with acres of garden featuring a lakeside promenade, vintage wine cellars and stunning views throughout the property. It was intimate, natural and a venue I would definitely recommend to anyone in the search for a place that has everything.

    As my wedding season officially began, I was truly happy to have Stephanie’s day be a part of it. I was lucky to have such a smooth day, surrounded by people that surrounded Stephanie with so much love.

Jobin and Sheril's Wedding Day https://solidrockphotographyjc.net/blog/2018/9/jobin-and-sherils-wedding-day 768A1362768A1362

 

Jobin and Sheril held a traditional Indian wedding with a modern flare and I was lucky enough to be apart of the process. Generally, traditional Indian weddings last for a few days; but Jobin and Sheril hosted a traditional time line of just a day. Their wedding was stunning-gorgeous attire, bright colors, wonderful food, amazing friends and family, great music and even better laughter.

                Sheril and Jobin are a beautiful couple inside and out and when we discussed the photography for their wedding day, it was important to showcase the beauty and effort that goes into a traditional Indian wedding and since I’ve photographed Indian weddings before, I knew exactly what they wanted and needed, and I was on board.

6U2A00376U2A0037

 

                I loved how the tradition of their wedding day was presented in every aspect of their day, but there was this low-key, calming feeling that was apart of their day, as well. Everyone was literally all smiles, from Jobin’s family, to the bridal party, to Sheril’s parents; everyone was light and ready to celebrate and filled with emotion. As Sheril donned a beautiful wedding dress, it’s technically considered non-traditional in Indian wedding standards, the same went for Jobin’s suit. As the groomsmen all wore suits, Sheril’s bridesmaids all wore a Lengha styled saree which is draped around the body of the woman in the style of a blouse, it’s very elegant and typically showcased in a pop of color. Before the official wedding ceremony, the couple did a prayer with each family before seeing one another for the first time and I thought that to be a lovely, personal touch.

 

                Sheril and Jobins wedding was a 450+ guest affair, by far my largest group and I will never forget how I felt watching and capturing the energy of the entire day and night. As a wedding photographer, it’s easy to get yourself in the head space of believing that a guest amount of a certain number will be stressful and overwhelming, but it absolutely isn’t. Whether it’s an intimate ceremony and reception or a 450+ guest list, take it all in and never forget that you’ve been asked to document a very important day in a couple’s life. Also, when working with a wedding that has specific traditions whether is be religious or cultural, never be afraid to take the leap and take it on! Just take the time to research and ask questions to better understand the needs of couple and their families. Not only does it show you really want to invest in your couple, but you’re learning new skills to help you and your business.

 

768A1454768A1454

                I had such a wonderful experience at Sheril and Jobin’s wedding and I truly wish them a lifetime of happiness and I can’t thank them enough for selecting me to be the person behind the camera for their special day.

New York Fashion Week September 2018 Part One https://solidrockphotographyjc.net/blog/2018/9/new-york-fashion-week-september-2018-part-one 768A6390768A6390

 

CFDA’s New York Fashion Week 2018 kicked off on Thursday, September 6th in true New York City style and I had the extraordinary pleasure to attend one of the best runways and presentation show lineups, today.

    NYFW, no matter for Winter or Spring, always draws an eclectic mix of fashion high-profilers, muses and respected veterans rubbing elbows with the elite of Hollywood. Pre-events, post-events and after parties add to the beauty of a week that takes months and months to prepare and perfect.

    My morning started with the 10am Emerging Designers show with a spectacular range of up and coming designers with ranging influences. I was enamored by every collection that was presented by the following designers:

  • Gates X 800West

  • Tiena

  • Lainy Gold Designs

  • Naldo Montanez: Menswear / Puerto Rico

  • Street Lux by Charda Simons / Bermuda

  • Tyleah Miller

  • CG Atelier / Cambodia

  • Joan Madison

768A6404768A6404

Each designer and each collection paved the way for even more up and coming designers waiting for their own time to shine. The introduction to brave design concepts and energetic tone is what gives NYFW it’s glamour and everlasting following.

There’s something to be said about the Spring 2018 NYFW. Following is Autumn and then the Holidays which quickly transitions into a New Year with new beginnings. It encompasses everything that New York City is: fresh starts, constant evolving and an endless supply of creativity.

Carmina and Roman's Wedding in Princeton NJ https://solidrockphotographyjc.net/blog/2018/8/carmina-and-romans-wedding-in-princeton-nj 768A7380768A7380

Every couple has their very own love story, their very own style, their very own wedding day. Carmina and Roman’s story, style and wedding day is the sweetest little gift wrapped up in the most perfect of bows. This is a story of crossed paths on the same campus for years, but finally locked eyes, overseas years later. This is a story of a couple so organically in love, a couple eager to start their lifelong journey together. A story of an exquisite wedding day held in the place they passed each other for 4 years. This is Carmina and Roman.

 

6U2A32436U2A3243

    When I first met with Carmina and Roman, there was an instant connection for me. They were overjoyed, excited and truly connected to one another. They were incredibly polite and couldn’t wait to dive into their wedding photography plans with me. They made me feel as though I’d known them for such a long time and couple/photographer relationship like that, goes a long way. They had both attended Princeton, but with hundreds of mutual friends and overlapping environments, it didn’t being them together until January of 2016.

6U2A34956U2A3495

    Roman as living in Tokyo to pursue a career in finance, along with continuing his passion for football and Carmina who was attending Yale at the time, had flown over to Tokyo to visit her family for Christmas break. They had connected thanks to a mutual friend from school and they had made plans to meet and have dinner. Well, one dinner turned to two, which led to the week ending with Roman attending church with Carmina and her parents and the rest is pretty much history. They withstood the test of a long-distance relationship and when Roman asked Carmina to marry him, he had surprised her with a 4-day trip to Paris and asked her then.

    Their wedding day was just as romantic as their love story. Their ceremony was help at the Princeton Chapel in Princeton, NJ and their reception was hosted at the Princeton Prospect House. If you’ve read my previous blog posts, you can tell I have “a thing” with Princeton. It’s such a historical, classic town and for any photographer-worth visiting and capturing memories and visuals. Carmina, Roman and their entire wedding party fit the classicism of the town, perfectly. I love photographing in nature and capturing these special moments other people may not notice-Carmina, Roman and I went to various locations to take their wedding photos and I had such an amazing time. As you look at their photos, the color tone, florals, hair and makeup and overall feel was a classic romanticism. Whimsical, yet traditional. Graceful, yet high energy and fun.

768A7261768A7261 768A7362768A7362

    Carmina and Roman were enjoying themselves so much and all their family and friends, you could tell, were so in love with the day and having the time of their lives. To capture this day for them, after hearing their love story, meant everything to me. The only thing I can do is thank Carmina and Roman for choosing me to be their wedding photographer and to let them know that not only their wedding day touched me, but their very own love story as well.

Caroline and Ty’s Wedding

 

    There are times when you come across a wedding that is so unique, the entire day takes your breath away. Caroline and Ty one of the sweetest fun-loving couples, I’ve met so far in my wedding photography journey, were created for one another. Boasting their love from start to finish of their wedding day was completely magical.

    Caroline and Ty have a romantic story. A story of long distance love over years, only to make it work and make the commitment to be husband and wife. A story of shared interests and passions, shared work ethic and love of helping others. A cool couple, a couple you get excited to hear is coming over to the get-together. I was overjoyed photographing their love, it never skipped a beat. It was always on point. Their love was in your face, but not in an obnoxious way. A way that makes you want that type of love.

 

768A7032768A7032

 

768A7258768A7258

    I photographed them on the battlefield grounds of Princeton University. Whether you live in New Jersey or not, a must is to visit the gorgeous town of Princeton. I was enthralled by the Gothic styled architecture, the grounds, the downtown, the energy-practically everything. Caroline’s family lives in Princeton and she and Ty decided to host their reception in the backyard of her parent’s home which was beautifully designed and organized by Carismas Party Planning Services.

 

IMG_2950IMG_2950

    The tone for the reception was low-key and casual yet still aesthetically stunning. Environmentally friendly and fun-they had a pizza food truck at the reception in which guests could choose from homemade, authentic pizza. It was incredible.

    The evening was spent dancing, playing backyard themed games, eating, making lovely toasts and celebrating Caroline and Ty’s forever love. It was whimsical and romantic, inviting and entertaining, care-free and full of wonderment. They were a handsome couple to photograph, an easy couple to photograph. Natural with themselves and one another-I hardly needed to pose them, they took to being in front of my camera as if they were professionals. Working with a couple like this, makes your job a little less daunting since you don’t have to plan posing options. Most couples are this way and some are just really shy. But with a little bit of patience and creativity, you can turn any couple into the couple that can work the camera.

 

IMG_3082IMG_3082

768A6442768A6442

 

    I was so grateful to be asked to work on Caroline and Ty’s wedding and wanted to take the time to thank Carismas Party Planning Services. It was definitely a day and wedding to remember.

Megan's Wedding Day! https://solidrockphotographyjc.net/blog/2018/6/megans-wedding-day Award-winning Wedding Photography serving NJ, New York, and ConnecticutAward-winning Wedding Photography serving NJ, New York, and Connecticut

Megan and Ivan’s day was an elegant and romantic Sunday brunch wedding at the Scotland Run Golf Club. I was automatically drawn to Megan’s calm and sweet nature and her soon-to-be husband’s easygoing energy. They hosted a gorgeous display of their love for their friends, family and their little baby girl-who may I add, was the cutest little sugar I’ve seen in awhile.

Award-winning Wedding Photography serving NJ, New York, and ConnecticutAward-winning Wedding Photography serving NJ, New York, and Connecticut Award-winning Wedding Photography serving NJ, New York, and ConnecticutAward-winning Wedding Photography serving NJ, New York, and Connecticut

    The venue was one of the best venues to photograph a wedding in-designed to capture beauty in practically every angle of the estate whether you were indoors or outdoors. Megan’s bridal party palette was a delicate pink theme which I was in love with. It lead the charge for the tone of their wedding which was a classic, yet whimsical affair, At times, it lent an almost European feel to the day: elegant, timeless, fun-loving, celebratory.

    During my time spent with Megan and Ivan, I took notice to a constant flow of laughter and energy. Their bridal party consisted of a group of people who loved both Megan and Ivan deeply and wanted nothing more than to make their day, the best day they could possibly have.

 

Award-winning Wedding Photography serving NJ, New York, and ConnecticutAward-winning Wedding Photography serving NJ, New York, and Connecticut

    My eye gravitates toward the little moments that are wrapped up in the entire day. A sweet laugh, a stolen moment, the glow of the bride when she sees her final look, the love in the groom’s eyes when his wife is walking toward him down the aisle. All these moments are what makes a wedding day, a wedding day. As I write this, looking through all the photos I’ve taken, reliving May 6th; reliving every wedding I’ve been apart of-I’m jolted into the feeling I experience being a photographer. It’s that feeling we all have when you think about how much you love what you do and how you couldn’t possibly imagine spending your time doing anything else.

To all of my couples, I thank you for that feeling.

Ajila and Vishal's South Asian Fusion Wedding https://solidrockphotographyjc.net/blog/2017/10/ajila-and-vishals-south-asian-fusion-wedding New Jersey Indian Wedding PhotographyNew Jersey Indian Wedding Photography

 

Hello Everyone!

Welcome back to my wedding photography blog!

Last year I was introduced to Vishal and Ajila when I photographed their engagement session. We immediately hit it off as friends and had a great photo session. I knew back then that their wedding day would be as equally fun and a great photographic opportunity.

So as with most Hindu weddings, the celebration took place over the course of a couple days.

The beautiful wedding, Mehndi Henna that was placed on Ajila's hands symbolized joy, beauty, spiritual awakening and offering. As an artist, I always admired these unique designs. The Quora part of the ceremony "Rice" is considered a symbol of wealth and prosperity. The rice was showered on Vishal and Ajila to bless them a future full of wealth and well being.

After this ceremony, I was able to capture great family photo's from both sides of the family. I must say that everyone greeted me with a lot of hospitality and made me feel very welcome. On another note, the food was very delicious! :)

On day two, I met Vishal early in the morning for his groom preparation photo's in Woodbridge, NJ. We took great photo's of him putting on his accessories as well as more family photographs.

After that session, I drove to Ajila's location for her preparation photo's. It's important to note that the Bride and Groom had multiple outfit changes throughout the day. I thought this was a very cool idea. More looks gives more variety. Vishal's first look was a slick, Tuxedo. For his second look he wore, a tan Sherwani with red Sirwal pants. Ajila's first wedding look was a beautiful ball gown.

The wedding reception was an absolute blast! It was full of high energy to say the least. After the Bhangra dance, we had cake cutting and alot more fun dancing.

I want to personally say thank you to Vishal and Ajila for allowing me to be a part of their wedding day. I couldn't have asked for a better couple. Also thanks again to both families involved. You made me feel very, very welcome for this event. 

One of my goals for 2018 is to become a major player in the South Asian Wedding community. This is definitely a step in the right direction.

Samantha and Travis https://solidrockphotographyjc.net/blog/2017/9/samantha-and-travis Wedding photography at Versailles BallroomWedding photography at Versailles Ballroom Hi everyone. Welcome back!

Yesterday i had the pleasure of photographing the lovely wedding of Samantha and Travis. They were such a fun and easy going couple. We had a blast during their engagement session so I knew that the wedding would be just as great. Fun couples and bridal parties always make the best wedding day photo's in my professional opinion. :)

Early in the day, I met Samantha and her bridesmaids for bridal prep shots at the Versailles Ballroom. From the start, I was greeted by lots of smiles and a great wedding day atmosphere. My assistant had a great time working with Travis and all his groomsmen. After the first look, we took a trip to the nearby park named, double trouble.

This park provided a lot of rustic photo opportunities and a lot of options for photo's.

After the portrait session, we returned back to the ballroom for the intimate wedding ceremony. The reception was one to remember. I really enjoyed the first dance on the clouds. [ see image above ] 

Thanks Sam and Travis for having me on your big day!

It was a pleasure.

Hey Everyone!

Thanks again for visiting my wedding photography blog. I've been incredibly busy lately, shooting so many beautiful couples. This is a good thing and also a great time for wedding photography.

As many of you know, Long Beach Island is a short drive from my home residence. I frequently take many trips there throughout the year. Every time I approach the island, I am always impressed by the Mallard Island Yacht Club. It truly stands out as a landmark. I would always say to myself, "I'd love to photograph a wedding at this venue". When I met Lauren and she told me this was her wedding day venue, I immediately jumped at the opportunity. A beautiful bride + beautiful venue = great wedding day photo's.

Groom prep was held in the lower area designated as the "Groom Shack". The guys were a lot of fun and were very easy going. Laurens bridal prep was held in her suite. I was so impressed with how easy going she was during the day. Photographing this beautiful bride was a total breeze.

Hello everyone!

I was very excited when I first met Jenna and she told me that she was getting married at Rode's Barn. As a wedding photographer, I knew shooting a wedding in a barn would be a totally unique scenario. I've seen barn weddings before and I jumped at the opportunity to shoot it.

Hello All!

I'm going to start this blog by saying that, I love Long Island, NJ. It's such a beautiful beach town. Since it's a relatively short drive from my home, I often come here when I need to relax or get away. Whenever I get a chance to shoot a wedding in LBI, I am very happy and equally excited.

Now enough about me, lets get to the photo story!  :)

768A7979768A7979

Marcy and Joe shot their first look session at the Light House, over looking the ocean. Lots of friends and family were in attendance for this special moment. The wedding portraits were taken under a nearby gazebo. This gazebo gave us nice and even lighting.

The wedding ceremony and reception were both held at the State Room.  It was a nice, private ceremony. The brides brother was the officiant for the service. This added an extra layer of emotion to the wedding.

The reception was held in the upper level of the Stateroom. Wedding speeches were made by both the best man and maid of honor. It was a great time for both families.

Wow! Is all I can say about this wedding. I do not know where to begin. It was so awesome to shoot this day. Everything was on point from beginning to end.

Angela, the bride had such a pleasant demeanor throughout the entire wedding day. Upon my arrival for bridal prep photo's, I was greeted by lots of friendly smiles by the bridesmaids.

All the prep work was shot in the Marriott Hotel.

The bridal portraits were taken on the second floor of the Waterside restaurant. This venue provided breathtaking views of the New York City skyline. I also loved the all white interior. The restaurant staff was also super friendly, allowing me to move furniture pieces in order to work.

The couple had a wonderful spot light on them during the first dance and cake cutting. This allowed me to get some pretty dynamic shots. I had a lot of light and shadow detail to work with.

Indian Wedding Bridal Shoot https://solidrockphotographyjc.net/blog/2017/4/indian-wedding-bridal-shoot  

About twice a year maybe more, I host a wedding editorial shoot. I have a great team of makeup artists, hairstylists, designers and models that I work with.

I am very excited to have an Indian wedding booked for the end of the year so I decided on that for the theme of my bridal editorial.

It was a very windy day to shoot on the beach, but we had a great time. The wind blowing from the west actually helped showcase the beautiful, dupattas.

The beautiful wedding sarees were handled with care as we shot and were very comfortable for our models. We had four sarees available for our shoot.

The bridal jewelry accessories were provided by Nitra Jain of Glitter Trunk Jewelry. She specializes in Indian jewelry. All of her items and materials are straight from India. Shots of the wedding details were taken indoors. I setup a few studio lights to focus on the accessories.

I hope you enjoyed this blog. I truly appreciate the Indian culture and would love to shoot more Indian weddings. All of the colors, jewelry, beautiful henna designs combined with lots of love will make gorgeous wedding day images. I also forgot to mention that I am willing to travel :)

Stay tuned for my first Indian wedding in the next few months.

Yours truly,

 

Jamal T. Cormier
