Click & Company Best Wedding Photographer of the Year Awards 2023

I’m proud to announce that I won many awards from Click & Company’s “The Best Wedding Photographer of 2023” contest. While just a few points away from placing 1st, I’ll gladly take 2nd with so many of my images being awarded!

NUMBER 1 IMAGE IN THE CONTEST CATEGORY “Ceremony”

As a story teller, I love this image. It happened so fast and it required keen observation to be able to catch it in such a way. You can see more images from April and Dan’s Breakers on the Ocean Spring Lake wedding by clicking here. groom pumps fist out sunroof while bride checks hair in mirror of car at spring lake nj wedding

TOP TEN IMAGE IN THE CONTEST CATEGORY “Engagement”

Becca and Jill had such a unique engagement session. We actually didn’t spend too much time on it, just bopping around a few spots on the awesome Grateful Woods property in Kerhonkson, NY. You can check out their awesome images here and if you have some time, you don’t want to miss their fantastic pool party— click here. two brides in front of a colorful bus during their new paltz ny engagement session

TOP TEN IMAGE IN THE CONTEST CATEGORY “Getting Ready”

I scored three of the top ten images for the “Getting Ready” category!

I don’t spend hours on groom preps. I spend about 45 minutes to get my groom preps done and I look for organic moments like this one from Allison and David’s Palace at Somerset Park wedding. Click here to see more. groom, father and groomsmen putting on bow ties at palace at Somerset nj wedding

TOP TEN IMAGE IN THE CONTEST CATEGORY “Reception”

Both of my top ten images in the “Reception” category involve one of my favorite wedding reception events– the hora!
