Emily & Jacob at Casa Bianca

Emily and Jacob 5-17-14

Dennis and Mike went to Casa Bianca for Emily and Jacob's wedding in May. We loved being a part of their big day! This family was so warm and open hearted! Thanks for letting us capture your wedding day!

Diana and Mark 5-2-14

Once again we had Dennis and Elise at Perona Farms. This time for the beautiful bride and handsome groom Diana and Mark. The way this couple looks at each other is simply irrevocable, the definition of true love. We wish you the best in your new life together!

Danah and Ed 5-16-14

This wedding was a real treat! Dennis had a blast at Lake Mohawk with Danah and Ed. Although Danah was the star of the show, her flower girls were sure a close second. Despite the rain May day, this couple didn't let the weather get to them. It was a beautiful inside ceremony, and a crazy party of a reception!

Corey and Brian 5-3-14

Although big and boistrous weddings are always fun and you can never know what to expect, Corey and Brian's small fire house wedding was just as much a treat! The weather might not have cooperated with us the entire day, but when the rainbow came out, Dennis couldn't resist just a few shots!

Ashley and Bruce 5-30-14

Ashley and Bruce were a ball! Dennis and Mike had the best time at their Royal manor wedding in May! From the goofy brides maids, to the funny groomsmen, this wedding was most definitely something to remember for everyone!

Our Favorite Venues!

Being located in north-western New Jersey, its very easy for us to travel into New York and Pennsylvania. They both hold some very beautiful and elegant places for weddings, but when it comes down to it, our favorites are all quite close to home!

Perona Farms, Lake Mohawk, and Davids Country Inn are all practically neighbors to the DBecker Studio.

New Jersey is full of wonderful and breath-taking venues! If your not sure where you want YOUR wedding to be, stop by the studio and we can give you plenty of ideas!!!

Silly silly silly...

At D.Becker Photo, we LOVE when we get a silly group to work with. Having a wedding party be goofy is the best way to get great photos and great memories. Whats the need to be all proper and posed all the time? Crack a beer, show a little leg, and laugh until you snort! Your wedding day is supposed to be filled with laughs and memories, its up to you to make them, we just capture them!

Sandra and Andrew 3-1-14

Sandra and Andrew had a gorgeous wedding at Meadow Woods. Dennis and Dave felt right at home with this easy-going couple. The love they have for each other was tangible in the air between them. It was a pleasure sharing this day with you guys!

Samantha and Robert 2-1-14

Its always a refreshing to have a silly couple. Samantha and Robert made our job super easy at David's Country Inn. A couple that laughs together, stays together. Torri and Sarah left this wedding with huge smiles and great memories, these two reminded us that you're never too old to be a little goofy!

Will and Kim 3-8-14

Its always an honor being asked to capture the moments of a couples special day. Even more so when its friends or family that would like us to be a part of it. Dennis had an amazing time in Washington D.C. with Will and Kim at the extravagant Hotel Monaco. A beautiful venue to compliment this beautiful couple.

Kellie and Brandon 3-22-14

Kellie and Brandon were such a delight to work with at their Minerals Resort wedding. Who doesn't love a man in uniform?! And this stunning bride was a sight to see. Dennis and Janine had just as much fun with this couple as the guests! Such a beautiful day with a beautiful couple.

Katelyn and Alex 3-22-14

Katelyn and Alex's wedding left Torri and Janine with huge smiles! The weather was amazing as well as the bridal party! It was a pleasure working with such a funny and silly bunch. From a beautiful outdoor ceremony to a fun filled inside reception, this Stroudsmoor wedding was awesome!

Amanda and Talon 3-29-14

Amanda and Talon had a beautiful wedding at the gorgeous Casa Bianca! From our stunning bride to the energetic guests, this wedding was loads of fun! Dennis and Elisa could not have asked for a better couple. Despite the rain, everyone had an awesome time!

Christina and Clinton 4-12-14

Christina and Clinton's love story is one for the books. The love they have for each other in their eyes is nothing short of heart warming. Their wedding day was beautiful and sunny, Dennis and Elisa had so much fun! This Skyview wedding was definitely one to remember! Congratulations Christina and Clinton!

5 things you should be looking at when you see a photographers work!

Exposure: A brides' dress is one of the most important features of the wedding day! When you look a photographers work, look at the dresses! Are the dresses blown out, meaning are they so white and bright you can no longer see any detail on the dress? If that is the case, then you don't want that photographer!

The example image to the left shows a bride on a bright sunny day. As you can see, at D. Becker Photo we know how to compensate for bright sun and lovely white dresses so you can still see all the details in her dress.

Posing: For formal posed images, look at how groups are posed. Are they all connected if they are family? Can you see Uncle Harry way in the back clearly? Do the people in the posed images look happy? In a formal posed image, the people should all be standing similar to each other. Meaning, all the ladies should have their feet the same, feet together, toes pointed slightly toward the center. Or leg closest to the middle slightly stepped back, forward foot pointed toward the photographer. Men should have feet shoulder width apart turned slightly towards the center. Remember this is only for formal posed images.

Samples: Ask for samples of work! Ask to see a completed product exactly like you will receive that shows you one wedding from start to finish? Ask is this sample from the actual photographer who will be at your wedding or someone else on the staff? D. Becker Photo can show you a full wedding from start to finish. We would even be happy to show you an unedited wedding if you would like! When you come to visit with us, the images that we show you will belong to the photographer who will be present at your wedding...we will not show you another persons work and switch people!

Style: What is the photographers artistic style? Do they shoot traditional poses, or have a more photojournalistic approach, or is it mixed? Do they like to shoot in the studio or at different locations, as well as on the wedding day? Ask to see examples of an entire wedding day shoot to see how you might tell a wedding day “story”?

D. Becker Photo will happily show you a full wedding. We know how the day flows better than the bride and groom! At D. Becker Photo, we are all trained to take classic traditional poses and portraits. Many photographers are not. We are also trained in a photojournalistic approach to weddings. This gives images a very different feel from the traditional poses. D. Becker Photographers are so unobtrusive many times you have no idea we just took an image of you! D. Becker Photo strives to give you a beautiful mix of Classic, Artistic and Photojournalistic Images on your wedding day.

At D. Becker Photo, we have a professional photography studio in the office. And we always love to photograph on location.

Lighting: Are images in the reception properly lit so you can see the entire room, not just the people on the dance floor. Some venues have are very dark inside to give you beautiful ambiance from candles, and up-lighting. This can be tricky for an inexperienced photographer. At D. Becker Photo, we bring the lighting with us. We carry external lighting to give you a 3D lighting effect at your wedding. The backgrounds should not be black or dim, they should be properly lit so you can see every corner of the room.
