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.

    Carissa and Jason at Westmount Country Club

    Carissa and Jason's big day was entirely at Westmount Country Club in West Paterson. We had a great time capturing the events, and it was a beautiful day for both families and guests. Let's begin with a gorgeous bride, Carissa with that wedding day glow, and looking fabulous from any angle:

    And the perfect complement, Jason is looking sharp:

    The weather was changeable, threatening to thunderstorm, but it held off for them, which allowed an outdoor ceremony:

    Here are some key moments from their celebration, with our photographic teamwork bringing multiple viewpoints:

    Carissa and Jason did a great job, lots of poise and joy-- and you could feel the love and support from all the guests....

    Then it was back inside for cocktails:

    The Westmount interior spaces are very impressive, and we made some shots in the ballroom also:

    What a beautiful scene! So let's get this party started, with C&J's exuberant entrance:

    So often, the first dance is where all the emotionality of the day comes together, and this first dance was no exception, with a combination of wide angle and close up images that tell the story:

    Delicious moments, and then onto the Hora, big fun for all:

    Dining and dancing ensued, with Carissa setting the tone for friends and family:

    In the middle of it all, we still are collecting some images of beautiful (and caloric) details:

    The late afternoon light presented some dramatic possibilities for images, capturing the ambient lighting design on the dance floor:

    And as the sun set, we took Carissa and Jason out to the balcony for some classic portraits:

    The party vibe continued, with help from an exciting and versatile band, White Light:

    A great day for one and all! Thanks to Carissa and Jason for the planning, poise and emotion!
