Now Kim and Rob are just weeks away from their Cape May wedding. So we headed to the beautiful Mindowaskin Park in Westfield for an engagement session.

I’ve found that it’s always best to let a bride and groom’s personality shine.
Kellie and Jon are very outgoing people so I was able to capture a great candid shot while doing posed bridal party photos.
As always, spontaneous photos with personality rocks.

For this magazine cover story we had four of New Jersey’s top young chefs. They were all a pleasure to work with and we finished up just as the rain arrived.

Liberty House in Jersey City is a beautiful venue for wedding photography. But it’s always important to watch for emotion as well.
This album layout shows two tender moments during a Liberty House wedding. The moments are fleeting but they capture the emotions of the day. This is why I believe a photojournalistic approach to wedding photography results in unique, memorable images.

Before we knew it, our wedding day arrived! John was once again punctual and captured the most BEAUTIFUL pictures that reflected us. We had several in our bridal party that we involved in other weddings this year, all of whom came up to my husband or I on our wedding day to compliment John’s professionalism and how he “didn’t get in the way” throughout the day or cause a distraction. We had a “sneak peak” the 1-2 days following the wedding. Our DVD of pictures and album followed shortly.
John always responded to us in a timely manner to any questions, concerns or suggestions we had.

Needless to say, I highly recommend John O’Boyle to anyone I meet!

Avery and Thomas:
John is an amazing photographer and he is very passionate about his work without coming of snobby or arrogant. We were 50 MINUTES behind schedule to take photos for our wedding (the bridal party was dragging their feet with makeup). My wife and I told him we still wanted to drive around town (we got married in Asbury Park, NJ) despite being behind schedule and still needing family photos. John said, “alright let’s do it,” we jumped in a guest’s van parked outside the hotel and took off for the boardwalk. We took photos at 4 different locations and john just kept moving everyone along. We finished our photos and made up the 50 minutes with time to spare.

My family was also totally impressed with his level of professionalism. My uncle likes to get in the way at weddings with his fancy camera and previous photographers have gotten very annoyed. When my uncle warned John to let him know if he was in the way, John responded with a big smile “you let me know if I am in your way!” John took great photos and none of them feature Uncle Mike with his camera!

I would recommend John to anyone looking for a great photographer that is affordable and artistic without the drama. John captured moments of our wedding that tell a great story, and many times we didn’t even see he was there! Thanks John!!

Danielli and Jim:

We always knew that we didn’t want traditional looking pictures at our wedding, so we decided to try photojournalism. We found John through the WPJA website and once we met him we were sure he was the right person to photograph our wedding.

John has the right personality, not pushy and always in a good mood; he was always prompt and got back to us quickly whenever we had questions. I was so excited that I had him take portrait photos of my husband as a birthday gift and they came out amazing.

The day of the wedding John was extremely professional and flexible, and best of all, he took absolutely gorgeous photos. The best part is that days after we came back from our honeymoon we received the digital copies of all our pictures. Most people have to wait months to see their wedding photos, but John is used to working under pressure and sticking to a deadline, so he was able deliver quality work in a short amount of time.

I would wholeheartedly recommend John as a wedding and portrait photographer. He clearly loves his job and it shows in the photos he takes.

Rachel and Joel:
We were looking for a photojournalistic style for our wedding photos, so we included working photojournalists in our search.
John came recommended by another photojournalist whose work we admired; they both shoot extensively for newspapers in New Jersey. John turned out to be a darn-near perfect match; he immediately clicked with both of us and understood what we were looking for. His pricing is straightforward, as well; he doesn’t try to sell you any extras you don’t need, he’s available to you all day, and he gives you all rights to your photos.

He was friendly and easygoing, and during the day of the wedding, put everyone at ease during the few formal family portraits we asked him to do. He also put a nervous bride and groom at ease as he took pictures of us pre-ceremony.

During the ceremony and reception, he took some fantastic shots without being intrusive or prompted. The resulting shots exceeded even the high expectations we had for what we wanted. We’d recommend John in a heartbeat, whether you wanted him to shoot your wedding or engagement pictures.

Surrounded by a small group of family and friends, Deborah and Thomas stood at the altar inside The First Presbyterian Church in Westfield. Both Deborah and Tom enjoy fine food and fine wine so there was no better spot for their reception than Ninety Acres at Natirar in Peapack.
