Meet the Mayors of Palisades Park NJ.

JAMES ROTUNDO

I had the pleasure of photographing the current and previous mayors of Palisades Park NJ.  James Rotundo has been mayor for the past seven years. Susan Spohn, the former mayor also served as a councilwoman and administrator of Palisades Park.

In the municipal building there is a wall with a picture of all the mayors dating back to the early 1920's.

These are the photographs each Mayor selected from their portfolio photo shoot.  Oh and by the way, all the other mayor's pictures are in black and white. James is breaking from tradition. These will be mounted and displayed in color.  Welcome to the 21st century.

Liz & Santosh - Engagement Session

Liz and Santosh are getting married next month at Barnegat Lighthouse on LBI.  They scheduled an engagement session in preparation for the big day.  An engagement session is a chance within 1-2 hours for you to become comfortable with the photographer’s shooting style and for him to understand and observe the way you and your fiancé interact as a couple. What can you do with the images from your engagement session?  You will have amazing photos of the two of you to display all over your home as the wedding approaches.  You can also use the photos for a “save the dates” mailing, to announce your engagement or for the wedding invitation itself.  In our new age of technology, many brides use their engagement photos for their social network page or for a wedding website.  Many brides incorporate them directly into the wedding using their centerpieces or within a wedding guestbook for their guests to sign.  

Brian & Heather

Brian and Heather asked me to help decorate their living room with some up to date pictures.  They have been married for 20 years and never hired a professional photographer.  The setting was their own back yard.  These were their two favorite pictures from the photo session.  The picture on the left was shot using natural light and for the one on the right I used a touch of flash.
