Jennifer Petracca and Doug Rothacker

On December 20, Jen and Doug were married at St. Mary's Church in Pompton Lakes surrounded by a wall of giant indoor Christmas trees. The church and service were decorated for the holidays as well as for the wedding. Jen's nephew played a guitar solo during the service (as well as an amazing guitar riff at the party!). Speaking of the party, the reception was held at the Mayfair Farms in West Orange and it didn't take too long for the place to start rocking.

Inauguration 2009

No matter what side you are on, the inauguration of Barack Obama is a new opportunity for our country to regain its stature in the world and in the hearts and minds of Americans. I am quite moved by this video of Pete Seeger, his grandson Tao Rodriguez-Seeger, and Bruce Springsteen; Musicians of three generations with the Lincoln Memorial as a backdrop, singing "This Land is Our Land" on Sunday, January 18, 2009 as the Inauguration festivities begin.

Crossed Keys Inn on cover of NJ Bride Magazine

The folks at Crossed Keys Inn in Andover, NJ must be really happy today. The latest issue of New Jersey Bride Magazine hit the stands with the Inn on its cover. There's an 18 page section on bridal fashion all shot at one of the premier places for outdoor and tented weddings in northern New Jersey. I know the place very well having shot there more than any other photographer and every where you look there is a great place to take wonderful photojournalistic and creative photographs.

I have to say that it is a great place to get married. In fact, Phil Leo, one of my Senior Photographers, was married there in 2007.
