Elizabeth and Matthew!!

This wedding was particularly special for John. Years ago he shot Elizabeth's sister and really enjoyed his time with the Shuster family...no one was happier than John when they came back to Heyn Photography for Beth's wedding! The day was filled with smiles and laughter as Beth and Matt celebrated their love.

Jen and Ed!

Jen and Ed may have had a rainy day but nothing could dampen their spirits. Hair, yes. Dress, definitely. Was everyone cold? Absolutely! Can you tell in their pictures? Nope. This couple went through rain from every direction and winds that destroyed a few umbrellas for their photos. No matter what mother nature threw at them they still looked amazing. Why you ask? These two just glowed for one another.

There was a bit of juggling so that they didn't see eachother before the ceremony, and being indoors for everything made that a challenge but we succeeded. And you know what? Despite stairways, elevators, and wooden screens it was worth it to see Ed's face when Jen started walking down the aisle.

These two went from galavanting through the rain in Spring Lake to lounging on the couches in The Mill...and every shot was gold. Thanks for a great wedding even on a rainy day!!

Precious Moments

So once again I had the chance to spend some time with Max and take some more baby photos. Even though Max had a horrible cold he was still a wonderful model, with an even better little personality! It’s amazing how many little moments there are in this young stage of life. I ‘m so glad I can be apart of them :)

May is here!

Patrice and Rob were the first wedding of May '08 and we had such a great time! The weather even held out for us while John and I shot in the park with our favorite videographer Rob Adams shown below doing some seriously fantastic work behind the camera.














The reception was such a fun time I even caught John whistling along!









Take a look at the slide show below!

Jamie & Justin

On April 25th John, Janelle, and myself (Marissa) had the privledge to photograph Jamie and Justin's wedding. Jamie & Justin were married at the gorgeous new Crystal Springs Resort in the Mountains of North West New Jersey. It did not even feel like we were still in New Jersey. The resort it self was pristine and was a photographer's dream playground. The outside had a perfect backdrop that looked like it was painted just for us.

Our bride had a very special connection to Heyn Photography, Jamie is John’s niece. We couldn’t ask for a more cool, calm, and extremely fun bride! She was stunning from head to toe. It was an absolute treat to photograph someone who is so full of life and truly wanted to enjoy every single part of her day! Justin looked amazing as well. He was having the time of his life with his family and friends, and of course basking in the idea of having Jamie as his new wife. During the reception there were very few dull moments that the dance floor wasn’t crammed and vibrating from everyone’s dancing feet. There was even a roar of the New York Rangers chant from the groom and groomsmen in the background of the music. The night ended up with a lovely cake in the face ritual from both the bride and groom. Luckily, no one was too angry at each other and instead embraced with a kiss. We had a blast being apart of this awesome wedding! We hope you enjoy their slide show.

PPANJ CONVENTION '08!!!!

Professional Photographers of New Jersey held their 55th annual convention in Atlantic City this past weekend. It was a wonderful convention full of education and fun. We got the opportunity to listen to wonderful speakers such as Jeff & Julia Woods and Angela Carson. All of these amazing photographers shared with us great ideas in marketing, client relations, and of course photographic style. Listening to them really seals the quote of Knowledge is Power. Everyone no matter the age, time in the industry, professional or not should never stop learning and sharing their knowledge.

At night John, Cara, and myself got the chance to mingle with colleagues in our association celebrating those that achieved excellence this year. As always it was a great time to see everyone at our convention and have some fun!

Jessica and Ray

So, I may have told them that it wouldn't be up so soon, but what can I say, Marissa and I had so much fun with these guys (even if we were semi-stalked by a creepy Seaside Boardwalk patrol guy in a golf cart)! I felt inspired, so here are some of the images. :-)

We love reviews like these!!!

So I recently became aware of a new (or at least new to us) website for brides called

weddingwire.com. I knew nothing about it until Liz Gaynor (our wonderful Christmas bride of 07) wrote a really awesome review about us on it! It really, really means a lot to us when brides let us know that we helped make their day special. Thanks so much Liz for being such a great bride on your wedding day and sharing with us!!

Alexis & Milton

To kick off our wedding season we photographed Alexis and Milton on March 8. Alexis was a radiant bride and Milton looked very handsome and star struck when he saw his bride walk down the aisle. They both had great families that came together as one to celebrate the bride and groom!

Even though the weather was not ‘perfect’, they would not let anything get in the way of celebrating their love. In the storm we still went out on the boardwalk to take some awesome beach pictures. Later that night, when the storm cleared we continued to photograph at dusk so that they would still be able to get their dream beach shots! We had a fantastic time photographing this special couple and we hope everyone enjoys their images as much as we do!

Kim & Jared

So Marissa, Cara and I (Vanessa) just photographed a wedding on Saturday and it was beautiful! Gorgeous weather for March and a great location at Georgian Court too.

And to top it off we're trying out a new slide show technique, so let us know what you think!
