From our first meeting over some coffee and tea at Starbucks, we knew that Genevieve and Brian would be one of our favorite couples! We felt like we could just sit around and chat for hours with our new friends! We loved hearing their love story, which ultimately helped make the decision of where their engagement photos should be! Genevieve and Brian decided that a Monmouth University Engagement would be perfect! I just about died, because, have you seen that campus?! Gorgeous!! I was so excited to capture their love in a place that meant so much to them both!

Devin did a wonderful job listening to us and creating a plan for the feel and theme of our wedding. She worked closely with me to decide a location for our engagement photos, which ended up being an area/location new to her, however, you would not have been able to tell looking at our photographs! Devin met with me multiple times over the phone as the wedding approached and was integral in creating the timeline for the day. She is present for ample time during the day and provided a second photographer in the package we selected.
The early stages of a new romantic relationship are characterized by intense feelings of euphoria, well-being, and preoccupation with the romantic partner. Neuroimaging research has linked those feelings to activation of reward systems in the human brain. The results of those studies may be relevant to pain management in humans, as basic animal research has shown that pharmacologic activation of reward systems can substantially reduce pain. Indeed, viewing pictures of a romantic partner was recently demonstrated to reduce experimental thermal pain. We hypothesized that pain relief evoked by viewing pictures of a romantic partner would be associated with neural activations in reward-processing centers. In this functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study, we examined fifteen individuals in the first nine months of a new, romantic relationship. Participants completed three tasks under periods of moderate and high thermal pain: 1) viewing pictures of their romantic partner, 2) viewing pictures of an equally attractive and familiar acquaintance, and 3) a word-association distraction task previously demonstrated to reduce pain. The partner and distraction tasks both significantly reduced self-reported pain, although only the partner task was associated with activation of reward systems. Greater analgesia while viewing pictures of a romantic partner was associated with increased activity in several reward-processing regions, including the caudate head, nucleus accumbens, lateral orbitofrontal cortex, amygdala, and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex--regions not associated with distraction-induced analgesia. The results suggest that the activation of neural reward systems via non-pharmacologic means can reduce the experience of pain.

Sometimes it's easy for people to assume wedding photographers simply follow a bride and groom around on a wedding day and capture romantic, lovey-dovey photos. But that's the furthest thing from the truth. While romantic photos occur naturally on a wedding day, there are moments when wedding photographers have to work HARD to create romantic scenes for the moments to spark in front of our cameras.
Every wedding photographer works equally as hard to capture intimate wedding photos, but the best make it look natural and easy. If you're interested in a few tips on How to Pose for Romantic Wedding Photos, feel free to check out this week's video tutorial.
The world recently bid a solemn farewell to the man believed to be responsible for arguably the most romantic photo ever taken. Glenn McDuffie, who claimed to be the sailor in the Times Square kissing photo taken during a celebration after the World War II victory, was 86 when he died. Through an act of sheer joy when he was much younger (and thanks to a camera man positioned at exactly the right place and time), McDuffie left behind an iconic image that will forever move us to experience all the feelings.
