Bobbi & Frankie

Talk about va-va-voom! Bobbi has been one of our blog-stalkers and she approached her wedding with a specific goal: to feel great and have fun. Mission accomplished! Bobbi and Frankie have known eachother for years and you can really see that deep love in their eyes. Bobbi has catapulted herself to our Top Brides of All Time list with her extremely kind and generous heart and her anything-for-the-photo attitude. Her pictures flat out ROCK and we are so proud to present them to you!

COOL TIP:: One thing brides should think of is how their engagement session and wedding will reflect one another. In Bobbi's case the reflection was literal-- we duplicated a pose!

Robin and Tim

This past Saturday Jackie, Rebecca and I had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Robin and Tim at the beautiful Rutgers Botanical Gardens. Robin's sister Lisa (whose wedding we photographed in 2007) served as the Maid of Honor, while Tim's brother Colin was the Best Man. What started out as a rainy Saturday morning turned into a bright, clear (but muggy) afternoon just in time for the outdoor ceremony. After the usual family and bridal party shots, we all walked to the bamboo forest for some interesting portraits. It's very easy to get lost in your photography (as well as the forest) when you are clearly photographing a couple that shows this much love for eachother. The reception followed at the Log Cabin Pavilion on the grounds. Family and friends danced the night away under the stars. Check out the slide show!

Staci & Adam

Adam and Staci are close to the heart of the Heyn Photo Family for a few reasons. First, you may recognize Staci from her sister Carrie's wedding pictures! The Frost Family are repeat clients and we couldn't be more thrilled to work with them again! Adam has another connection to the studio: he's been best friends with Marissa for years! Shooting their wedding was like shooting for family and we were excited to strut our photographic stuff. There was a fantastic restaurant in the hotel decked out in red and black with vintage photographs all over the walls: we had an absolute BLAST shooting there! One tip for a great wedding shoot: a fabulous location!

We wish Adam and Staci the very best in their new life together!

Dana & Ryan

It is always extra special when our bride isn't merely a client, but a friend. Marissa has known Dana Gale and her sister Jess for her entire life and was absolutely ecstatic to do Dana's wedding. Dana's day was stunning in several ways. First we began in her parents Century Home in Little Silver...it was built in 1862! Then we went to the newly re-decorated Oyster Point and had a blast in one of the suites :) After that we had the privilege of witnessing Dana get married...with her own mother officiating!

Of course no cutting-edge NYC-inspired shoot would be complete without a walk through Red Bank!

Dana was beautiful and it was truly amazing to be a part of her day.

Kristin & Matt

Kristin and Matt had a theme for their wedding, love birds, but we would argue that it is more like a theme for their marriage. These two positively radiated love and if you can't see it you're blind. They lucked out in so many ways: great weather, great location and they even stumbled upon a fabulous vintage car while shooting in Allaire State Park. The pictures are to die for and this couple makes it all look so easy :)

They were such a delight to work with and we truly love a lot of their images.

Elise & CJ

It was a beautiful day but this firemen's wedding was burning hot!! Elise and CJ were a fun couple who knew precisely how to keep their calm during the sometimes-stressful wedding day. They should be used to keeping their calm: They're Firemen! This was a beautiful day and is kick-starting a jam-packed May season. We were at the ever-beautiful Clark's Landing with some of our favorite vendors: Greg Lassik and Jason Jani!

Jennifer & Matthew: E-Session

Jennifer and Matthew's engagement session is radiating Old Hollywood Romance. Doesn't this look like a modern re-make of Casablanca? The way that old screen sirens oozed beauty, sensuality and deep, abiding love for their leading men is exactly what we saw in this wonderful couple. Just look at these images and feel the love!

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!
