I realize it’s been a while since I’ve posted, so I added a lot of photos from this wedding to make up for the pause. Rachel & Matt’s wedding was a lot of fun, and it was great to be able to take photos for a friend and fellow photographer! And now, here are a...
Made me cry.
And hey, no fair coming to Princeton w/o telling us! Next time?
Nice pics, Joel! I looked at all 93 of ‘em, even tho I don’t know them! I like the one of the bride dancing and her flip-flops are showing! Smart girl! Keep up the good work
Having never been to Virgina before, I was excited to travel and shoot in a new place. And the combination of fireflies, mountains, sunsets, and an amazing couple made it a great experience! The following images were taken at the Rockwood Manor historic bed & breakfast, which was quite the location. Matt & Emma, thanks...

Em and Matt,
Your pictures are wonderful and fun. They tell the story of your wedding beautifully! How will I ever decide which ones I want the most?
Love you, Jama
Congratulations Emma & Matt. Lovely photos!
Emma and Matt,
Beautiful pictures of beautiful people. My favorite so far is the one as you are walking away down the path. Starting your lives together…
Beautiful pictures!
We had a great time at the wedding 
Emma & Matt:
Wonderful pictures of a beautiful couple!!! What fun everyone had and the photographs perfectly capture all the happy moments that we all shared in.
We are thinking of you as you are now settling in to your life together. Peace and happiness be with you.
All our love, Mel & Tom
Thanks Peter! I used a couple, most likely the 85 f/1.2 or the 24 f/1.4 though. I like using those two in particular: the 85 for it’s amazing background blur, and the 24 for its unique shallow depth-of-field perspective at a wide angle (which we are used to seeing a great amount in focus with wide angle shots).
Awesome work Joel! What lens did you use for the narrow depth of field shots?
Coming tomorrow, a full post from Matt & Emma’s wedding in the mountains of Virgina!

Thanks for sharing this photo. Love it, it is so different from the everyday shots. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the pictures.
When weather decides to cut you slack on a wedding day you are always grateful, and this was one of those days. When we arrived at the Abernethy Center to shoot Nathan & Bethany’s wedding it had been raining all morning. Despite the rain Bethany was ready to go out and have fun getting some...
