Working with Deanna and Joseph was an absolute joy, and I couldn't have asked for a more relaxed and in-sync couple. Their chemistry was palpable, adding an extra layer of ease and enthusiasm to my work. They are one of those couples who make you believe in the magic of love, effortlessly merging their individual personalities to form a unified, harmonious pair.
&nbsp;
Their story, as narrated by Deanna, is a beautiful testament to their enduring love. They first crossed paths in their freshman year of high school, brought together by mutual friends. Their groups spent a lot of time with each other, which led to Deanna and Joseph striking up a close friendship. By sophomore year, they were officially a couple and have remained inseparable since. This year, they are looking forward to celebrating their 11th anniversary in June. Deanna and Joseph love to joke that they are proof that high school sweethearts can indeed last!
&nbsp;
Two years ago, they relocated to Jersey City and instantly fell in love with its charm. This is why they chose to have their photos taken at Liberty State Park, wanting to incorporate elements of the city they adore so much into their pictures. Their wedding, which we eagerly look forward to, will take place at the stunning Rock Island Lake Club in Sparta, New Jersey. A venue we love working with, thanks to its breathtaking vistas and superb facilities.
&nbsp;
When it came to their engagement session, Deanna and Joseph again opted for Liberty State Park as their location of choice. The day was perfect, with the sun casting a warm, golden glow over the park. We were fortunate enough to find a section bursting with cherry blossoms, which made for some truly spectacular images.
&nbsp;
Deanna and Joseph's story is a beautiful reminder that enduring love stories do exist, and their journey together is just getting started. We can't wait for the wedding and the opportunity to capture more such unforgettable moments of their love story.

Oh, what a delightful pair Mike and Desarae make! Their story is one that warms the heart, tracing back to their early days in Cedar Grove High School. While they shared the same hallways, Desarae being a grade senior to Mike meant their paths never quite intertwined at that point. Their acquaintance was casual, and they knew of each other, but that was the extent of it.
&nbsp;
It wasn't until several years later, in 2014, when destiny decided to throw them back into each other's lives. Both found themselves working at the local hotspot, the Grasshopper, in Cedar Grove, New Jersey. Mike, the busboy, and Desarae, the waitress, found their orbits finally colliding, and a beautiful romance began to blossom.
&nbsp;
As the saying goes, the rest is history. With their relationship moving from strength to strength, they found their way to my studio. Thanks to Desarae's sisters, who work in the wedding industry, and had worked with me on numerous occasions, they recommended me for their wedding photography and videography. With such high praise from Desarae's sisters, they entrusted me with capturing their big day, continuing a tradition as I had done the same for several of their family and friends' weddings.
&nbsp;
The wedding ceremony took place at the breathtaking Skyview Golf Club, nestled in the heart of Sparta, New Jersey. This venue, with its stunning vistas, offers endless opportunities for capturing unforgettable photos and videos. Despite the rain's attempts to dampen the day, it did not succeed in diminishing the joy and beauty of their celebration. We managed to create some truly stunning images, capturing the essence of their love and the joy of the day.
&nbsp;
A brief respite from the rain gave us a window of opportunity, and we seized it, rushing outside to take some fun, romantic images against the backdrop of the Skyview Golf Club's beauty.
&nbsp;
The journey with Mike and Desarae has been nothing short of a joy, and I look forward to working with them again in the future. Their story, from high school to happily ever after, is a testament to love finding its way, and it's been a privilege to be a part of it.

There's something truly magical about capturing the love between two individuals, especially when they are as enamored and full of joy as Amanda and Jayson. Shooting their engagement session was a thrilling experience, filled with laughter, romance, and an abundance of beautiful moments. It was a radiant day, the location lending a perfect backdrop to their love story, as we explored the scenic grounds of Princeton University in New Jersey. As a photographer, Princeton has always been one of my favorite locations, with its stunning architecture and picturesque landscapes, it provided the perfect canvas for Amanda &amp; Jayson's love to truly shine.
&nbsp;
We encouraged the couple to have an outfit change during the session, a tactic we often recommend to our clients. This not only gives a variety in the photos but also allows the couple to express their individual styles and personalities. Amanda and Jayson discovered our work through weddings we had photographed for their family and friends. Their familiarity with our style and team at Photography by Orlando made the session even more comfortable and fun.
&nbsp;
The story of how Amanda and Jayson met is as charming as they are. It dates back to 2016 at Montclair State University, where they were both actively involved in Greek life. Despite sharing common circles, they didn't really know each other until a fateful party. Amanda, urged by a friend to let Jayson know she found him cute on her bealf, But Amanda went a step further. She opted to tell him directly but added a twist instead Amanda told him she herself thought he was cute &amp; she did it in Portuguese! Their relationship blossomed from that point and they officially started dating on December 6, 2017. Keeping with the significance of this date, they have decided to tie the knot on the same day this year.
&nbsp;
The wedding will be held at the Stone House at Sterling Ridge in Warren, New Jersey, another one of our favorite venues. The staff and the grounds are gorgeous and the food is always amazing we love working at the Stone House at Sterling Ridge in Warren, New Jersey. We are beyond excited to not only capture their wedding through photographs but also provide video coverage for them. Anticipating a day filled with love, joy, and celebration, we can't wait to immortalize these moments for Amanda and Jayson. Their journey from a chance encounter at a university party to their upcoming wedding has been a joy to document, and we look forward to capturing many more milestones in their life together.

Unforgettable Engagement Session at Princeton University

Nestled in the heart of West Orange, New Jersey, The Wilshire Grand served as the backdrop for a most enchanting wedding day. Michelle and Corey, a couple who first crossed paths as food servers at Medieval Times in 2014, chose this elegant venue to declare their love for each other in front of their closest friends and family. The couple, who fondly remember their early days as being 'lost in the sauce', have since built a love story that is truly heartwarming. On Easter of 2019, Corey took the next step in their relationship when he proposed to Michelle surrounded by Cherry Blossoms at Branchbrook Park, with their corgi Mose by their side. Their journey led them to me, a photographer who had the privilege of capturing several events for Michelle's family &amp; friends in the past. When they booked me for their wedding, I was overjoyed. Their laid-back and fun personalities made them a delight to work with. Their wedding day was a perfect blend of their personalities and love for each other. The bridal party and families were such a pleasure to work with, their warmth radiating throughout the day. The best part of the wedding was the palpable love and affection Michelle and Corey share, evident in every glance they shared and every word they spoke. It was a day of joyous celebration and one I was honored to be a part of. Here's to many more years of love and happiness for Michelle and Corey, and hopefully, more delightful events with their wonderful family in the future.

What an absolute delight it was to capture the love between Miranda and Rick in their fun-filled engagement session! This couple was nothing short of a pleasure to work with. Their laid-back attitude and willingness to go with the flow made the photo session an enjoyable experience for all involved.
&nbsp;
The photo shoot took place on February 19th in the heart of Brooklyn, New York. We chose the iconic Dumbo area as our backdrop, adding a touch of urban charm to their photos. Despite it being a chilly day, the sun was shining brightly, casting the perfect light for their photos. It was as if the universe itself was in on our plan, helping us create some beautiful moments for Miranda and Rick to cherish forever.
&nbsp;
Donned in outfits that perfectly reflected their personalities and the love they share, Miranda and Rick were a sight to behold. They had two sets of outfits for the session - one that was a bit on the dressier side, and the other more casual. This added a nice variety to their photo collection, showcasing their versatility as a couple.
&nbsp;
What made the session even more enjoyable was the undeniable chemistry between Miranda and Rick. Their love for each other was evident in each frame, making my job as a photographer a whole lot easier and more fulfilling. Their laughter was infectious, their smiles genuine, and their affection for each other was palpable. It was clear to see why they decided to spend the rest of their lives together.
&nbsp;
Miranda and Rick will be tying the knot this coming October at the Tilling House in Eatontown, NJ. This venue is known for its elegance and charm, and we couldn't be more thrilled to have the opportunity to capture their special day at such a beautiful location.
&nbsp;
In conclusion, Miranda and Rick's engagement session was a joy to be a part of. Their laid-back attitude, coupled with their undeniable chemistry, made for a truly memorable photo session. We're eagerly looking forward to their wedding in October, and can't wait to capture more of their love story.
