More About This Website

Welcome to our blog! Here you can learn a little more about ShelleyAndKeith Photography-- who we are, what we do, and how we do it-- with plenty of images from our photographic adventures. You can see more wedding imagery on our PORTFOLIO SITE, www.shelleyandkeith.com

We photograph weddings in New Jersey, New York City, Connecticut, and Philadelphia, always working together as a team. For the start of the day, we can be in two locations to capture the preparation of bride and groom simultaneously. The rest of the day involves our practiced teamwork. After hundreds of weddings, we know how to capture moments from multiple angles simultaneously, which expands the storytelling power of our coverage. We have each won awards from the Wedding PhotoJournalist Association (WPJA), and also have an award from the Artistic Guild of the Wedding Photojournalist Association (AGWPJA). Our work has been published in Brides Magazine. We are a 2010 pick for The Knot's Best of Weddings.

We look forward to capturing the unique and subtle qualities of our couples, letting their relationship lead the way, with a minimum of posing. After all, the whole idea is to communicate the singular love story that is at the heart of a beautiful wedding day.

    Jillian & Adam's Wedding at Basking Ridge Country Club

    Jillian and Adam got married at the Basking Ridge Country Club on a pretty nice day in December, stil chily, but no snow on the ground... Adam is a recent grad of West Point, just back from Afghanistan, and by now the newlyweds are relocated to Texas. With this great couple, it wasn't hard to find expressive moments to capture, and we had a great time doing it. They even braved the cold for some outdoor portraits on the links, which allowed us to include some dramatic backgrounds. Jillian and Adam have a great future ahead of them, and we wish them all the best!

    Victoria & John's Wedding at The Newark Museum

    We already posted about shooting a wedding when Hurricane Irene barreled through the tristate area, and now we are presenting Victoria & John's celebration, which happened to fall on the other major weather day of 2011: October 29. On what would typically be an ideal fall day, with glowing colors, warm light and gentle breezes, we instead had ice, snow, wind, falling trees, traffic snarls... If you were in NJ, then you remember it well...

    But, we had Victoria and John! A fantastic couple who turned the day into fun, joy and love. We became big Victoria fans about 5 minutes after she came to our house for a meeting. John didn't show up for the meeting, but he had a great excuse: he was working in India for the US State Department. The connection between them was fun to capture, and they had a great time with their friends and families. 

    We begin with portraits, Victoria at her parents' house, and John at the church, and then on through the ceremony moments:

    And next, after a rather treacherous drive, the scene changes to The Newark Museum, where we captured some details of the beautiful party design:

    Before the party started, we had a little time for some fun portraits with this great couple, they really enjoy each other:

    How beautiful is that?  OK, time for the party, with Victoria and John making their big entrance, followed by moments from their first dance:

    And once the dance floor opened up, check out the fun and joy of these moves:

    Cake for all:

    And by this time, the party was rocking:

    Our thanks to Victoria and John for a spectacular day!
