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.

Hey there, soon-to-be-marrieds! I'm about to unfold a little secret: the world of engagement photo sessions and the amazing benefits they hold. If you're engaged and deliberating over whether to have an engagement shoot, let me share some insights on why you should consider it.
&nbsp;
As a seasoned wedding photographer operating out of a charming studio in Verona, NJ, with two decades of experience under my belt, I've seen first-hand the value of engagement shoots. I'm here to share four key reasons why you should think about booking one.
&nbsp;
Firstly, it's all about comfort! Does the idea of a camera lens pointed at you make you tense up? You're not alone; many share this sentiment. An engagement session is an opportunity to ease into the spotlight, helping you become more comfortable in front of the camera. It's a great rehearsal for your big day, when a photographer will be shadowing your every move.
&nbsp;
Secondly, an engagement session helps you connect with your photographer. It's like a getting-to-know-you exercise. You'll experience their shooting style, their approach to prompting poses, and their overall vibe. By the time your wedding day rolls around, your photographer will feel more like a friend than a stranger, making for more relaxed and authentic photos.
&nbsp;
Thirdly, engagement sessions offer a chance to capture some casual, everyday moments. You and your partner can wear 'normal' clothes, creating a set of images that contrast with your formal wedding attire. These relaxed, candid photos often end up being the ones you treasure most.
&nbsp;
Lastly, engagement shoots can be as wild and adventurous as you wish! You're not constrained by the formalities or time pressures of a wedding day, so why not let loose and try something unique? Want to shoot on a mountain top, by a graffiti wall, or even underwater? This is your opportunity to get creative and have fun!
&nbsp;
In summary, engagement photo sessions are a unique opportunity to get comfortable in front of the camera, build rapport with your photographer, capture some casual moments, and let your adventurous spirit shine. So, if you're on the fence about it, why not give it a go? You might just end up with some incredible photos and memories to treasure for a lifetime.

A Photographer's Review: Macaluso's Hawthorne NJ - A Wedding Venue Like No Other

It was a gorgeous day when I had the opportunity to photograph this wonderful couple, Angela and Anthony, at Tommy's Tavern in Clifton, New Jersey. This wasn't just any location but the very place where their love story had unfolded, making it all the more special. The tavern owners, who were nothing short of amazing, gave us unrestricted access to the property for our shoot, allowing us to capture the essence of their memories in this beloved setting.
&nbsp;
Angela and Anthony's story is one that is imbued with laughter, surprises, and an undeniable connection. It all began on a seemingly ordinary day, June 28, 2022. Angela, a dedicated teacher, was on the brink of cancelling the date as the end of the academic year chaos coupled with the arrival of summer made her question whether it was the right time to step into the world of dating. Thankfully, her trusted coworkers managed to convince her otherwise, resulting in a decision she has never regretted.
&nbsp;
Seated at the outdoor bar of Tommy's Tavern, the duo found themselves immersed in conversation, sharing laughter over the amusing coincidence of having navigated the same school system and even having the same chiropractor, yet never having crossed paths. It was like finding hidden pieces of a jigsaw puzzle that fit together perfectly. As the summer days rolled by, they became inseparable, making the most of their free time to go on as many dates as possible.
&nbsp;
Their relationship soon evolved to a stage where they introduced each other to their families, seamlessly blending in and adding to the warmth of both households. A notable incident occurred on August 9, when Anthony was dog-sitting his brother's dogs, Penny and Zola, and invited Angela over for dinner. However, the evening was far from perfect. An adventurous Penny managed to snatch an entire mozzarella ball and Zola was less than thrilled to meet a stranger, barking incessantly and not allowing the couple any peace. Angela was convinced that this would mark the end of their dating phase. But as fate would have it, Anthony officially asked her to be his girlfriend that very night, turning what could have been a disastrous evening into a memorable milestone.
&nbsp;
This love-filled journey that started at Tommy's Tavern has since unfolded into a beautiful narrative, one that Angela and Anthony are eager to continue writing. As a photographer, being able to capture this tale of love was a fulfilling experience. Their story is a testament to the fact that in the midst of the everyday hustle, extraordinary love stories are born.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Orlando. He arrived early, which is a biggie for me and got right to work without needing any direction. He has such a calm demeanor which made for a fun day of photos allowing me and my husband to feel relaxed and natural. He even stayed longer than scheduled to get some of the last minute shots we were hoping for. Our photos came back within a week of the wedding and we are OBSESSED with them. He captured some really awesome and memorable moments that we will cherish forever. We truly could not be happier.

Orlando and his team are amazing! From our amazing engagement shoot to our beautiful wedding, Orlando went above and beyond to get every shot I wanted. His turnaround time on photos was also great!

Hi there, I'm Orlando Oliveira, a New Jersey-based wedding photographer. Over my 15 years in the field, I've been fortunate enough to have my work recognized with international awards. But more importantly, I've been entrusted by countless couples to capture their most treasured moments. Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing a wedding for Jessica and Matt at The Park Chateau in NJ. This venue is a favorite of mine; with its classic French-style architecture, lush gardens, and expansive country estate, it provides a perfect backdrop for storytelling through images. Jessica and Matt are a couple that exudes love and joy. From the moment I met them, I knew their wedding was going to be a beautiful celebration of love. It was an honor to capture their special day, filled with laughter, tears, and moments that will be cherished for a lifetime. On this day, one of the moments that stood out to me was when Matt first saw Jessica walking down the aisle. The way his eyes lit up, the way he bit his lip to control his emotions&mdash;it was a moment of raw, authentic love that I was privileged to capture. In contrast, Jessica's father, who was accompanying her down the aisle, was struggling to keep his composure. It was clear to see the overwhelming rush of emotions he was experiencing, giving his little girl away. These are the moments I live for as a wedding photographer. I'm grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of Jessica and Matt's wedding. It's days like these that remind me why I chose this profession. Being a photographer isn't just about taking pictures&mdash;it's about capturing moments, emotions, and stories that will be cherished for generations to come. Being a New Jersey wedding photographer is more than a job to me&mdash;it's a passion. I'm always looking forward to the next wedding, the next couple, the next love story to capture. So, if you're planning your big day and are looking for a photographer who will capture your journey with authentic emotion and artistic flair, I'd love to hear from you. Remember, photography is not just about capturing faces, it's about capturing feelings. And that's what I bring to the table every single time. Because at the end of the day, it's the moments of raw emotion that you'll remember the most from your wedding day. And I'm here to make sure those are the moments you'll be able to look back on for the rest of your lives.

Jessica and Matt Wedding at The Park Chateau in NJ

Hi there! I&rsquo;m Orlando Oliveira, your friendly New Jersey wedding photographer. I&rsquo;ve spent over 15 years capturing the magic of weddings in the Garden State and around the globe, making me an international award-winning photographer. To say I have the coolest job in the world would be an understatement. I get to chronicle the happiest moments of people's lives, and there's simply nothing like it. Recently, I had the honor of photographing Anna and Derek's wedding at The Seasons NJ. A breathtaking venue that's as enchanting as the couple themselves. The highlight of this venue? A spectacular ballroom adorned with glimmering glass chandeliers. Its grandeur is something that not many places can boast about. Now, let me share a bit about my approach to photography. I&rsquo;m not just there to click pictures; I&rsquo;m there to capture the moments that might otherwise go unnoticed. Those moments when a groom first lays eyes on his bride, or when a father loses his composure as he walks his little girl down the aisle. These are the moments of raw emotion, the moments that tug at your heartstrings, and the moments you'll remember for a lifetime. At Anna and Derek's wedding, the ballroom was a dream come true. As the couple danced their first dance under the glow of the glass chandeliers, the room was filled with an air of enchantment. The soft light reflected off the chandeliers, casting a beautiful glow on the couple and their guests. I was there, camera in hand, ready to capture this unforgettable moment. I wanted to make sure that every time Anna and Derek looked at these photos, they could relive the magic of that day. There&rsquo;s something truly special about being a wedding photographer. I get to witness and capture the love, the joy, and the unspoken bonds. These are the moments that make life beautiful, and being able to freeze them in time is a privilege I never take for granted. So here's to Anna and Derek, and to the unforgettable memories created under the glow of the spectacular ballroom chandeliers at The Seasons NJ. As your New Jersey wedding photographer, I&rsquo;m here to ensure every magical moment is beautifully captured. Because in the end, it's these moments that make your wedding day truly yours.
