          NJ Beach Engagement Photography...Natural.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div&gt;&#xD;

&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          They Didn't Ask for Perfect. They Got Real.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
           ﻿
          &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           There's a moment in every beach engagement session where something shifts.
          &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           The couple stops thinking about where to look or what to do with their hands — and they just are. That's the moment I wait for. And when it comes, I don't say a word.
          &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           This is one of those moments.
          &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           He crouched down in the sand — no direction from me, just something he did — and she wrapped her arms around him like she's done it a thousand times. Because she has. The waves came in. The wind moved her hair. The ring on her finger caught the last of the evening light.
          &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           I pressed the shutter.
          &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           That's the thing about beach sessions that nobody tells you: the beach itself does half the work. You can't be stiff when you're barefoot on warm sand. You can't be formal when a wave is threatening to crash behind you. The environment loosens people up, and what comes out of that is something no studio backdrop can replicate — it's them, unguarded.
          &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           The footprints around them in this frame? Those are from 45 minutes of walking, laughing, stopping, starting, and figuring out what felt natural. By the time we got here, they'd forgotten I was even there.
          &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           That's exactly what a great engagement session should feel like.
          &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           If you're planning your engagement photos and wondering whether the beach is "too typical" — I'd push back on that. The beach isn't the story. You are the story. The beach just has a way of making it easier to tell.

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          Choosing what to wear for your engagement session is one of those things that sounds simple until you're actually standing in front of your closet trying to figure it out. Don't overthink it. The goal isn't to look like a Pinterest board — it's to look like the best version of you.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          After photographing couples across New Jersey for nearly 36 years, I can tell you: the outfit rarely makes or breaks a session. But a few smart choices can absolutely make a difference. Here's what I've learned.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          Dress for the Season
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
           — NJ Has All of Them
          &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          One of the things I love about shooting here is that we actually have four real seasons, and each one gives you something beautiful to work with. The key is letting your wardrobe complement what's happening outside, not compete with it.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          Spring
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
           is soft, fresh, and full of natural color — blooming gardens, green parks, that perfect in-between light. Light pastels (blush, sage, soft blue), flowy fabrics, and a light layer or two tend to photograph beautifully. One thing I'd steer you away from: super bright neons. There's already a lot going on in spring scenery, and bold colors can pull focus from your faces.
          &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
           Summer
          &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          is all about comfort. Whether you're shooting down the shore or in a sun-drenched field, breathable fabrics like linen and cotton are your best friend. Light colors reflect the heat and keep you looking cool — literally. For beach sessions, keep it relaxed and casual. Going barefoot almost always looks natural in the sand; a ball gown, less so.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
           Fall
          &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          is — and I say this as someone who's been doing this a long time — genuinely hard to beat. The light is golden, the foliage is stunning, and the whole season just photographs well. Earth tones (rust, mustard, olive, deep red) feel at home in fall surroundings. Layer up: jackets, scarves, knits. Textures read really well on camera this time of year.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          Winter
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
           sessions are more special than people give them credit for. There's a quiet, romantic quality to them that's hard to replicate any other time of year. Neutrals — cream, camel, gray, charcoal — look elegant against a bare winter landscape. And if we happen to get some snow? That's just a bonus.
          &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          Coordinate, Don't Match
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          You don't need to wear the same color or go full "matchy-matchy" — and honestly, I'd encourage you not to. Instead, think in terms of a color palette: two or three tones that feel connected without being identical. Mix textures. Let one of you take a slightly bolder direction while the other complements. It looks more natural, and it photographs better.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          Dress for Movement
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          Here's something people don't always think about: you're not going to be standing still. We're going to walk, laugh, probably spin around at least once. Before you settle on an outfit, ask yourself: Can I sit comfortably in this? Can I move the way I normally would? If yes, you're in good shape.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          A Few Things I'd Steer Clear Of
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          Large logos and busy graphics tend to pull the eye away from your faces. Neon colors can overwhelm everything around them. And anything you find yourself constantly adjusting — a strap that slips, a hem that rides up — will show. If you're not comfortable, it comes through.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          The Bottom Line
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          The best outfit is the one that makes you feel like yourself. Confident, comfortable, at ease. Because these photos aren't really about what you're wearing — they're about the two of you, and everything you're feeling in this moment of your lives together.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          Not Sure What to Wear? Ask Us.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          This is genuinely one of our favorite things to help with. We've seen what photographs well across every season and every kind of NJ location, and we're happy to look at your options, talk through ideas, or just give you a gut check before the session.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          Reach out anytime — that's what we're here for.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          And if you've already had your engagement session with us: what did you end up wearing? Drop it in the comments. We'd love to hear.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

          Fifteen Years...Two Milestones...One Amazing Family
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div&gt;&#xD;

&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
          Some relationships don't need an introduction the second time around.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           In 2009, I walked into Beth-el Synagogue to photograph a bar mitzvah. The young man of the hour was Adam — a 13-year-old with a kind soul, a great sense of humor, and a whole life ahead of him. I did what I always do. I showed up, I paid attention, and I tried to capture not just the moments, but the feeling of that day.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
           And then fifteen years went by.
          &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
           I got a call from Adam's parents. No shopping around. No "we're considering a few photographers." Just a phone call, and a question — are you available April 7th, 2024?
          &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
           Their son was getting married.
          &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
           That call meant everything to me. Not just as a booking, but as a statement. Fifteen years earlier, they trusted me with one of the most important milestones in their family's life. And when the next one came around — the biggest one — they didn't hesitate.
          &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
           On April 7th, 2024, I walked into Temple Emanu-El and watched that 13-year-old kid stand at the altar and marry Liat.

      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
           Same kind soul. Same sense of humor. Just a little taller — and exactly where he was supposed to be.
          &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
           This is why I do what I do. Not just to take pictures. But to be the photographer a family comes back to. Year after year. Milestone after milestone.
          &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
           Adam and Liat — thank you for letting me be part of your story. Again.

          New Jersey’s Most Beautiful Wedding Venues — And What Every Couple Should Know Before They Book

    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

          By Barry Korbman | Korbman &amp;amp; Company Photography
         &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          You’ve said yes. You’re engaged. And now comes one of the biggest decisions of your entire wedding planning journey — choosing your venue.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          As a wedding photographer based in Hamilton, NJ with over 36 years of experience photographing weddings across New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania, I’ve had the privilege of working in some truly breathtaking spaces. I’ve seen what makes a venue magical through a lens — and I’ve seen what catches couples off guard when they’re standing in their reception hall at 9 PM wondering why certain moments didn’t turn out the way they imagined.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          So here’s my honest, photographer’s-eye guide to some of Central New Jersey’s most stunning wedding venues — and what you should know before you sign on the dotted line.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
          The Palace at Somerset Park — Somerset, NJ
         &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          If you want grandeur, The Palace delivers it in every possible way. Situated on a serene 30-acre estate and inspired by neo-Palladian villa design, the property features two luxurious facilities, each with its own ballroom, grand foyer, and private entrance. The West Ballroom’s soaring ceilings and French doors opening to the terrace create extraordinary natural light — a photographer’s dream for portraits during cocktail hour.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          What to know
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          : With a venue this dramatic, you want a photographer who knows how to balance the architecture with the intimacy of your moments. The grandeur should frame you, not overwhelm you.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
          The Hamilton Manor — Hamilton, NJ
         &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          Right here in Hamilton, this is one of Central Jersey’s crown jewels. The Hamilton Manor sits on expansive landscaped grounds and offers a picturesque gazebo for outdoor ceremonies, a barn with a distinctive vaulted ceiling, and a classic ballroom with mahogany floors and chandeliers — all while hosting one wedding at a time.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          What to know
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          : That last detail matters enormously. When a venue commits to one event, the energy shifts. The staff is focused entirely on you. And as a photographer who also photographs only one event per weekend, I understand exactly why that exclusivity makes such a difference.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
          The Boathouse at Mercer Lake — West Windsor, NJ
         &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          This one holds a special place for me, because it’s practically in our backyard — and it is genuinely one of the most photogenic venues in all of Central New Jersey.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          Overlooking the beautiful 365-acre Mercer Lake, The Boathouse is a two-story waterfront facility featuring a spacious Lakeview Ballroom with panoramic views, direct access to an elevated covered deck, an outdoor lakeside gazebo and pavilion for ceremonies, and a private bridal suite.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          As a photographer, I can tell you this venue is extraordinary to work in. The 10 acres of park surrounding the venue offer lush manicured lawns, vibrant flowers, and a bountiful selection of backdrops — from first-look portraits behind the trees to candid moments near the waterline to stunning couple portraits as the light reflects off the lake. Every season looks incredible here.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          The main ballroom features 19-foot vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, large windows, and double doors that lead directly to the lakeside porch — so your guests never lose that sense of being surrounded by water and nature, even during the reception.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          What to know
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          : The ceremony gazebo on the peninsula is truly special — but the best light there shifts throughout the day. Talk to your photographer early about timing so your ceremony and portraits make the most of that incredible waterfront setting.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
          The Stone Terrace by John Henry’s — Hamilton, NJ
         &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          Another Hamilton gem. Tucked away in Hamilton Township, The Stone Terrace is a family-owned wedding venue where timeless design meets heartfelt hospitality, and the Henry family has welcomed couples for over 15 years. There’s something about a family-run venue that feels different — you can feel the care in every detail. The outdoor spaces here offer gorgeous natural backdrops that photograph beautifully in every season.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          What to know
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          : The intimate scale of this venue makes it ideal for couples who want their day to feel personal and warm rather than grand and formal. The gardens are especially stunning in late spring and early fall.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
          Park Chateau Estate &amp;amp; Gardens — East Brunswick, NJ
         &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          Located in East Brunswick, the Park Chateau Estate &amp;amp; Gardens sits at an ideal midpoint for families and friends across the tri-state area, making it a popular choice for couples with guests coming from all directions. The manicured gardens and European-inspired architecture give every couple an almost fairytale setting — and as a photographer, the outdoor spaces here offer incredible variety within a single property.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          What to know
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          : The gardens are the real star here. Plan time before your reception for an extended portrait session on the grounds — the architectural details and manicured paths create images that look like they belong in a magazine.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
          The Ashford Estate -- Allentown, New Jersey
         &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          Some venues are beautiful.  The Ashford Estate is in a category all its own.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          Nestled within the preserved farmland of Central New Jersey just outside the storybook Allentown Village, The Ashford Estate was designed to give couples a destination wedding feel without leaving the state.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          You approach by crossing an antique steel bridge, passing through ion-guarded iron gates, and travelling down a dramatic crushed stone drive lined with beautiful pine trees...then the estate emerges.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          As a photographer, I can tell you the arrival alone is worth capturing!
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          The 30+ acres includes a Barn Chapel, Carriage House, and a Grand Ballroom, along with waterfalls, a floating gazebo, garden arbors, stone ruins and gorgeous fountains.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          Every corner of this property offers a different photographic backdrop, which means your wedding album will feel like it spans an entire world.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          What to know
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          :  this venue rewards couples who give themselves time to explore the grounds.  Build portrait time into your timeline! You will have images that look like they were taken on a European Estate.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
          A Few Things Every Couple Should Ask Before Booking Any Venue
         &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          After  years behind the lens, here’s what I always wish couples would ask:
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          Does the venue host more than one event at a time? This affects everything — the staff’s attention, the energy of the space, and whether your day feels truly yours.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          What does the light look like at the time of your ceremony? I’ve photographed ceremonies in spaces that are stunning at noon and challenging at 4 PM. Ask your photographer to walk the venue with you before you commit.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          Is there a private space for portraits? The best venues have quiet corners, garden paths, or secondary spaces where we can steal 20 minutes for just the two of you — and those 20 minutes often produce your favorite images of the entire day.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          What are the venue’s restrictions on photography? Some venues limit where you can go, especially during dinner service. It’s good to know that before your wedding day.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

At Korbman &amp;amp; Company Photography, we photograph only one event per weekend, so when it’s your day, you have our complete and undivided attention.

          Your wedding day is over in a blink. The music, the tears, the laughter — it all happens so fast that even the people who were there can barely believe it. But your wedding album? That's the part that lasts forever. It's the thing you'll open on your anniversary, the thing your kids will flip through, the thing that sits on your shelf and says: this was real, and it was beautiful.

      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          we take that responsibility seriously. That's why we don't hand off your images to a third-party designer or an automated template service. We design your album ourselves — right here, in-house — with the same care and attention we brought to photographing your wedding in the first place.

          The Design Process
         &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          We Don't Just Drop Photos Into a Template
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           Every album we design is a custom, handcrafted narrative. We look at your images the way a storyteller looks at a manuscript — thinking about flow, emotion, pacing, and meaning. Which moments lead into each other? Where should the energy build? Where should it breathe? A great wedding album isn't a slideshow on paper. It's a story.
          &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           When we sit down to design your album, we're thinking about you — your personalities, the feel of your day, the moments that made it uniquely yours. The getting-ready quiet. The first look. The chaos of the dance floor at 10 PM. Every spread is composed with intention, so when you turn each page, it all comes back.
          &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           
          &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
          "A great wedding album isn't a slideshow on paper. It's the story of one of the most important days of your life — and we treat it that way."
          &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           
         &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           Designing in-house also means you get to be part of the process. If something doesn't feel right — if you want more of the ceremony and less of the cocktail hour, or if there's a moment you absolutely need included — we can make it happen. You're not locked into whatever a remote design team decided. We're right here with you, every step of the way.

          Print Quality
         &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           Professional Color Labs Only. Always.
          &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           Here's something we feel strongly about: the way a print looks and feels matters as much as the image itself. We've seen what happens when wedding photos get processed through consumer-grade printers or big-box photo services — the colors shift, the skin tones go flat, the blacks lose their depth. After 36+ years behind the lens, we simply won't let that happen to your images.
          &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           That's why every print and album page we produce goes through professional color labs — the same calibrated facilities trusted by photographers and commercial studios nationwide. The difference is visible the moment you hold a print in your hands. Rich, accurate color. True-to-life skin tones. Blacks that are actually black. And a longevity that means your photos will look just as stunning in 40 years as they do today.

           At Korbman and Company Photography, we made a commitment a long time ago: we photograph only one event per weekend. Not two. Not three. One.
          
                    
                    &#xD;

           That means when your wedding day arrives, you're not sharing us with another couple across town. You have our complete attention — from the morning getting-ready shots to the last dance of the night. Every creative instinct, every watchful eye, every ounce of energy we have is poured into your day.

      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

          What "120% Attention" Actually Looks Like

           We don't say 120% as a marketing phrase — we say it because it's true. When you're our only event, we're not distracted by another timeline or another client's needs. We're fully present. Noticing the light shifting in the late afternoon. Watching for the quiet moment between you and your grandmother. Staying as long as it takes to capture the shot you didn't even know you needed.
          
                    
                    &#xD;

           That kind of focus can't happen when a photographer is stretched thin. It requires a deliberate choice to do less so we can give

The wedding day started somewhere wonderful, the port in Weehawken.  The old train station with the kind of vintage character you can't manufacture. Then the port... where the Manhattan skyline spread out behind them like something from a dream. We moved to their own boat,  the two of them and the Hudson, completely in their element. By the time we reached the

          for their ceremony and reception, the day had built into something that felt inevitable — like every frame was exactly where it was supposed to be.

           That's what the right location does. It doesn't just give you a pretty backdrop. It gives you back to yourselves.

          Place Is the Third Person in Every Photo

           When couples ask me where they should have their photos taken, my first question is always: where do you actually live your life together? Not where looks good on Instagram. Not the spot everyone else uses. Where are you most yourselves?
          
                    
                    &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
                      
                      
           For some couples, that's a favorite neighborhood in Jersey City or Hoboken — the corner coffee shop, the block where you used to take long walks, the rooftop where you watched storms roll in. For others, it's somewhere that holds meaning: the town where one of you grew up, the park where you got engaged, a stretch of coastline that's been yours since your first summer together.

           Location shapes everything — the light, the mood, the way two people hold each other. Urban settings bring out energy and intimacy in equal measure. Open fields and rolling landscapes slow everything down and make space for quiet, tender moments. Water — a river, the shore, a lake in the Catskills — adds something almost cinematic. There's a reason so many of the photos I'm most proud of happened near water.

          New Jersey Has More to Offer Than You Think

           We're lucky to work in a state that doesn't get nearly enough credit. The Jersey Shore in the off-season is hauntingly beautiful — empty boardwalks, golden light, the smell of salt air. The Palisades offer dramatic cliffs and sweeping river views. Cape May feels like stepping into another century. Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton is unlike anywhere else — art and nature layered together in a way that makes every corner a discovery.

           And we're close to so much more. An hour north puts you in the Hudson Valley, with its farms, forests, and that particular fall light that photographers travel from everywhere to find. Cross into Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and you're in cobblestone streets and covered bridges. Head up to the Connecticut shoreline or the Catskills and you have entire landscapes that feel untouched.

           I've photographed couples in ballrooms and on mountaintops, in city alleys and open meadows. What makes a photo unforgettable isn't the place itself — it's the resonance between the place and the people in it. Bryan and Dara's photos work because the water wasn't just scenery. It was their life. The boat wasn't a prop. It was theirs.

           When we work together, one of the first things we do is talk about the places that matter to you — the ones that carry memory, meaning, or simply make you feel at home. Then we find the light, find the moment, and let the location do what it does best.

          Skip the brand-new outfit that doesn’t feel natural.

          Instead, wear something you love, just a slightly more polished version.

          Solid colors work best, and try to avoid busy patterns that steal attention from your face.

          A forced smile? People can tell.

          Think of something that makes you laugh or imagine you’re looking at someone you actually like.

          Clean, simple backgrounds (parks, city streets, neutral walls) keep the attention where it belongs.

           When planning a wedding, couples spend a lot of time thinking about flowers, venues, and seating charts. But one surprisingly important style decision often sneaks up on grooms and their crew: what kind of tie should everyone wear?

           The traditional necktie is by far the most common choice for weddings. It’s timeless, clean, and works with almost any suit or tuxedo.

           For many weddings, the groom and groomsmen all wear matching ties to create a polished and coordinated look. It photographs beautifully and keeps everything looking sharp from the ceremony to the dance floor.

           Bonus: it’s also the easiest option for groomsmen who may not be experts in formalwear.

           Bow ties bring a little personality to the party.
          
                    
                    
                    
                    &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
                    
                    
                    
                    
           They’re perfect for formal black-tie weddings, but they’re also popular for couples who want a slightly more stylish or playful look. A well-tied bow tie can make the groom stand out in photos and adds a touch of charm that works beautifully with tuxedos or tailored suits.
          
                    
                    
                    
                    &#xD;

           Just one warning: make sure someone in the group actually knows how to tie one.

          The Groom Stands Out
         
                  
                  
                  
                  &#xD;

           A popular trend we see at many weddings is letting the groom wear something slightly different.
          
                    
                    
                    
                    &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
                    
                    
                    
                    
           For example:
          
                    
                    
                    
                    &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
                    
                    
                    
                    
           Groom in a bow tie, groomsmen in neckties
          
                    
                    
                    
                    &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
                    
                    
                    
                    
           Groom in ivory or patterned tie, groomsmen in solid colors
          
                    
                    
                    
                    &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
                    
                    
                    
                    
           Groom without a tie for a relaxed look
          
                    
                    
                    
                    &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
                    
                    
                    
                    
           It’s a subtle way to help the groom stand out without screaming “Hey, look at me!”
          
                    
                    
                    
                    &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
                    
                    
                    
                    
           And from a photographer’s perspective, it adds a nice visual layer to group portraits.
          
                    
                    
                    
                    &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
                    
                    
                    
                    
           No Tie? No Problem.
          
                    
                    
                    
                    &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
                    
                    
                    
                    
           For outdoor, beach, or more relaxed weddings, some couples skip ties altogether. Open collars paired with great suits can create a modern, laid-back style that still looks polished in photos.
          
                    
                    
                    
                    &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
                    
                    
                    
                    
           Just make sure the overall look stays intentional—not like the guys simply forgot their ties at home.
         
                  
                  
                  
                  &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

           Whether it’s bow ties, neckties, or no ties at all, the most important thing is that the look fits the style of your wedding.

           At Korbman &amp;amp; Company, we love capturing these personal style choices because they help tell the full story of the day—from the groom getting ready with his groomsmen to the celebration on the dance floor.

           And if you're planning your wedding and want photography that captures every detail (yes, even the tie debate), we’d love to be part of your day.

           Your wedding day will be filled with moments you’ll want to remember forever — the laughter, the tears, the excitement, and all the little details in between. Choosing the right wedding photographer is one of the most important decisions you’ll make while planning your wedding.

           Experience matters when it comes to wedding photography. Weddings move quickly, and an experienced photographer knows how to anticipate important moments before they happen.

           Ask how many weddings they have photographed and how long they’ve been working in the industry. A seasoned photographer will be comfortable handling different lighting situations, timelines, and unexpected moments.

           Every photographer has a unique style. Some focus on traditional posed images, while others lean toward documentary-style storytelling.

          Do You Work Alone or With a Second Photographer?

           Many photographers work with a second photographer to capture multiple perspectives throughout the day.

           For example, while one photographer captures the bride walking down the aisle, another might be capturing the groom’s reaction — moments that couples love seeing later.

           It’s always good to ask how the photographer structures their coverage.

           A great photographer does more than just take pictures — they help guide the flow of the day.

           Ask if they assist with creating a timeline for photography. This can help ensure there’s enough time for family portraits, couple photos, and candid moments without feeling rushed.

          Planning a wedding is exciting, emotional, and sometimes a little overwhelming. Between venues, flowers, invitations, and guest lists, couples often tell us the same thing: “There’s so much to think about!”

           One of the most important decisions you'll make is choosing the photographer who will capture the memories of your wedding day. At

          , we’ve had the privilege of photographing weddings for over 36 years, and we’ve learned a few things along the way.

           Here are five things we always recommend couples consider before booking their wedding photographer.

           1. Your Photographer Will Be With You All Day
          
                    
                    
                    
                    &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                    
                    
                    
                    
          Your photographer is one of the few vendors who will be with you from the beginning of your wedding day until the celebration winds down. That means personality matters just as much as talent.
          
                    
                    
                    
                    &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
                    
                    
                    
                    
           We always encourage couples to meet their photographer and make sure they feel comfortable. When you feel relaxed and connected, the photos reflect that.

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

           2. Style Matters

          Every photographer has a different approach. Some focus on posed portraits, while others take a more documentary approach.

          Weddings move fast, and moments happen only once.

           An experienced photographer knows how to anticipate those moments — the laugh during the speeches, the tear during the ceremony, or the spontaneous hug on the dance floor.

           After decades of photographing weddings, we’ve learned how to be ready for those moments before they happen.

          Many couples are surprised to learn that photographers often help guide the flow of the wedding day.

           From planning portrait timing to coordinating with planners and DJs, a seasoned photographer helps keep the day running smoothly so you can relax and enjoy it.

          The cake will be eaten, the flowers will fade, but your photographs will become your family's history.

           Years from now, those images will bring you right back to the laughter, the emotion, and the people who celebrated with you.
