Chris and Erin: E-Session

Chris and Erin were the type of couple who would walk down some train tracks hand in hand, pose against a graffiti covered wall and really bring the hard-sexy look that these kind of environments require. These E-Session pictures are among our personal favorite because we had an alignment of perfect elements: setting, models and mood.
Hope you love them as much as we do!

Old Bride, New Mommy part 2

In the same weekend that we shot Baby Grace, Alyson and Tom Ehrlich called us to shoot their 8 month old daughter Callan Rose. What can we say? It's a photographers life to be surrounded by beautiful women and beautiful babies :) Callan and Grace were different shoots for us in one big way: Callan could sit and prop herself up which allowed us to try poses with her that we coudn't with Grace. It is impossible to pick a favorite between these girls though, they were both wonderful and adorable :) We wish both sets of new parents all the luck in the world!

Old Bride, New Mommy!

Two of our former brides have recently contacted us to do photographs of their precious daughters :) We couldn't be more thrilled that we are still a part of their lives! Kelly and Tony had an absolutely beautiful beach wedding and now they are blessed with a gorgeous baby girl named Grace. Grace was only a week old when we photographed her... Check it out!

Tracy & Frank

Tracy and Frank were determined to have great photos on their wedding day despite the Northeaster. Even when the power blew out! The day started out at Tracy's parent's home where Tracy truly blew us away with her beauty! She did whatever we sked her to do from laying on the bed to the floor. Then we were off to the Season's to meet her husband to be. Frank was very handsome as he met his bride on the staircase. Being there was a major storm going on outside we used the Season's from every inch. One of the best spots was the colorful arcade where we were able to take some fun bridal party shots and even had a romantic moment on the pin ball machine! The reception was a blast with the dance floor constantly packed with everyone having the time of their lives! Tracy and Frank were so awesome they would not even let a storm get in their way!

We wish Tracy and Frank all the best now and the future!

Cara & Matthew

Beautiful locations and beautiful brides are always a good combination. In Cara Jones' case the Berkeley in Asbury was the perfect location for her day! It was modern and edgey but classy, just like the bride. Cara worked it for us :) She rolled around on the bed, she climbed into a shower, she got into a window (and that was all before we left the room!). We had a great time shooting her.... and then the beach session came and we had an AMAZING time shooting her :)

The Asbury Park boardwalk has a truly fun feel for a wedding party to casually walk down (or strut down, whatever the situation calls for) and there's always the beautiful blue background of the Jersey Shore. Of course what Asbury session would be complete without a quick trip to the Wonder Bar?

We wish Cara and Matthew the best and we hope you enjoyed their show as much as we enjoyed their wedding :)

Bridal Show FUN @ The Ritacco Center

This past sunday we had the pleasure of meeting many new brides at the Ritacco center bridal show. Wedding Set go out did themselves this year and put on a great event which we were proud to be a part of! We would like to thank everyone for stopping by our booth and taking home one of our Chinese take out boxes full of... goodies. We want to invite each bride to schedule a time to come into the studio and share their vision of their special day with one of our photographers.

Also, it was great to see our friends Jay Jani from Sound Connection and Greg Lassik from Endless Wave Cinematography.

New Year, New Recognition...NEW WEBSITE

We are proud to announce that this year we have received a plethora of awards from various wedding venues including the ever-popular WeddingWire AND the illustrious Knot!!!

On Wedding Wire we were nominated for Bride's Choice which means SO much to us because that is a compliment coming directly from our clients. We work so hard to make your wedding photography experience as wonderful as it can be and to get this kind of compliment back is humbling. We truly appreciate every single bride who helped us in achieving this and we want you to know that we never forget where our success comes from: it comes from every single Bride that comes into our lives :)

The Knot is one of those websites that you always hope to be recognized by because it embodies the single most popular site (and magazine) that women go to for wedding advice. It is a compliment on so many levels because it really shows that our hard work to be the best in our business is being recognized by the top people in the industry. We can't really express to you how happy we were in receiving this :) Thank you again to every person who made this possible :)

Annnnnd..... Last but not least: HeynPhotography.com has been re-vamped :)

Our old website got the job done but at the end of the day we felt that it was time to really upgrade it and jazz it up so that it reflected our style better. It was key that we be able to change our images ourself so that we could constantly be able to show our latest and greatest weddings :) Everything is new: there's an introductory flash show (trust us, watch the whole thing, it is truly amazing!), new galleries (with tons of new pictures!), new contact form... new EVERYTHING!

We really love it and we want everyone to take a look at it and love it the same way we do :)

CHECK IT OUT!

Jessica & Thomas

This year we had a New Year's Eve wedding with the drop-dead-gorgeous Jessica Jenkins :) It was really a perfect combination for us: great lighting, a beautiful dusting of snow, and a very pretty bride. Give us that and we are happy photographers!

We went from Allaire Chapel to Monmouth University and wound up at the re-designed Clark's Landing. This venue is truly jaw-dropping, its a stunning place for a wedding. During all of it Jessica really worked with us which, as we know, is the best way to get beautiful photographs! She laid down on some steps, she wrapped her veil around herself and all in all was the perfect model.

This wedding was full of special moments: from Tom's step-dad as the best man to Tom and Jess sharing the same wedding song as her parents... the New Year countdown was almost forgotten in the blur of good times and we hope this couple continues to experience bliss.
