As many of you know, I’ve been trying to find a good coffee table type book to offer my clients for a while now. Something a bit smaller and easier to handle than the leather-bound flush mount album that I’ve been offering, but still a quality that I can feel proud about.
Well, the search is over and here it is, and I’m very excited about it. These books are made by a company called AsukaBook based in Oregon and come in a variety of different styles and sizes, depending on your tastes. I am offering these books in a format as large as 10×10 down to as small as 5×5 and the layout is completely customizable and made especially for you.
I was having a problem with the image quality with the other coffee table book companies, but not this one. The point should be to have something you want to show friends and family, after-all, so why not have the highest quality possible? I have an example of an 8×8 AsukaBook LX with 40 pages which comes with a leather cover and personalized presentation box, and a 5×5 AsukaBook EXD which is a hard bound book with jacket and personalized case. There are a few other styles available. Please contact me for pricing and more information.

Back in the fall, I was contacted by a good friend of mine, Amanda Picone, who just happens to be a fabulous photographer, and said a friend of hers was in need of a wedding photographer. Amanda wouldn’t be able to shoot Kristen’s wedding, it turns out, because she was in the wedding party! Anyone who knows Amanda’s work knows that I had some pretty big shoes to fill as her work is so amazing, but I jumped at the opportunity. Upon meeting Kristen, I had the real sense that this wedding was going to be a lot of fun, and it was. Kristen and Mike are such a great couple and were up for just about anything. Despite a bit of snow on wedding day and temperatures cold enough to freeze a photographer’s fingers to his shutter button, it was a beautiful wedding and so much fun to shoot!
The ceremony was held at The Princeton Marriott and Conference Center with the reception being held at the Triumph Brewing Company. It was the perfect place for a reception with really great food, but one rule I just couldn’t break is having a beer on the job! Those micro brews looked soooo good! Ashley and I are going to have to find a reason to go back and visit to try their Coffee and Cream Stout sometime when I’m not on the clock!
I hope you two had a great time on your honeymoon, Kristen and Mike. Remember, if you can brave the freezing January winds of New Jersey in a photo shoot and still look good doing it, there’s nothing you can’t take on together!

Ashley and I had the privilege of being asked to photograph Kristen and Mike’s wedding yesterday in Princeton, NJ! We woke up to an inch of snow on the ground in New York and wind chill at zero and I was worried that everyone would be a popsicle by the end of the day. Can popsicles smile, I wondered? When we got to New Jersey and started taking pictures, everyone was so excited for this wedding that I realized it could have been 30 below and it wouldn’t have mattered one bit! Kristen and Mike have some wonderful friends and family and I don’t think there was one popsicle in the bunch! Of course, Kristen and Mike now have a honeymoon in Aruba to thoroughly warm them up!
The ceremony was held at The Princeton Marriott and Conference Center and the reception was at the Triumph Brewing Company across the street from the Princeton University Campus which was a great place to get pictures.
Enjoy your honeymoon Kristen and Mike! Congratulations again!
