Hi there, Orlando Oliveira here, your go-to New Jersey wedding photographer and international award-winning photo magician. I have spent more than 15 incredible years immersed in my passion for photography, and have been fortunate enough to turn this passion into my profession - undoubtedly the coolest job in the world. I get to freeze the happiest, most love-filled moments of people's lives and turn them into lifelong memories.
Recently, I had the pleasure of capturing the magical wedding of Janine and Steven at the Liberty House in New Jersey. The venue is a dream for any photographer, with its picturesque waterfront setting forming a spectacular backdrop for some truly memorable photos.
The highlight of the day was undoubtedly our waterfront photoshoot. With the dazzling sun setting over the water, we had the bridal party pop open a bottle of champagne. The effervescence of the champagne mirrored the joyous spirit of the group and made for some vibrant, candid pictures. The resulting images are a vivid blend of laughter, cheer, and the sparkling champagne, truly encapsulating the essence of celebration.
As a photographer, it's not just about the staged photos or the perfect smiles. It’s about capturing those unseen, unscripted moments. Like when Steven first laid eyes on Janine, radiant and resplendent in her wedding gown, and his face lit up with a love so profound, it could light up the darkest nights. Or when Janine's father, a stalwart figure of strength, couldn't help but let a tear escape as he walked his little girl down the aisle. Those are the raw, real moments that make my job so fulfilling.
In my 15 years of being a wedding photographer, I’ve learned that the best photos are the ones that tell a story. A story of love, of joy, and of a beautiful beginning. And Janine and Steven’s wedding was no different. Every laugh, every tear, every toast was a chapter in their love story, and I was there to capture it all.
I’m Orlando Oliveira, and I’m here to turn your special moments into extraordinary memories.
