Professional Photojournalistic Wedding & Event Photographer Jim Powell

There are a lot of photographers out there. Even once you’ve narrowed it down to price range, location, and quality, there are still a lot of choices, and our personalities are often what often separate us the most. You need to know you’ll be comfortable with your photographer. If you’re not, it’ll show up in the work. Imagine trying to relax or smile in front of someone that annoys you, or creeps you out. You’ll see it in your pictures!

My name is Jim Powell and I’m a New Jersey based Event and Wedding photographer. I actually shoot all kinds of photography; travel, urban, food, live bands, fashion, people… whatever, I just enjoy shooting.

Jim Powell - A Photographer with a "People Person" Personality

Regarding my personality, I consider myself a “people person”. I can just as easily have a conversation with a 6 year old, as I can with a 96 year old. I also love experiencing new things… all kinds of new things. Whether it’s new music, traveling to a new place, or even just new food. I LOVE trying new food, and living in NYC is a GREAT place for this.

Catching Moments that Happen Naturally through Photojournalist Style Photography

As for my style, I consider myself a photojournalistic photographer. Meaning, I like to step back and catch the moments that happen naturally. I don’t do much posing or set up interactions, I just use my experience to anticipate the moments that are there to be captured.

Of course the formal pictures and hug and smile pictures are always something I’m happy to do for you, but I try to keep that portion of the day as short as possible so everyone can just relax and have a good time.

Destination Weddings - LGBT Photography New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania & Connecticut

I generally shoot in New Jersey, New York, Philadelphia and Connecticut, but travel is one of my biggest passions in life so I’m always willing to shoot anywhere else around the country, and even internationally. I highly encourage people to consider destination weddings because the scenery is typically far more beautiful, and believe it or not, it can be cheaper too!

After the day is over, the photographs and memories are all that remain. You’re going to want to remember it for the rest of your life and, I don’t know about you, but 5-10 years down the road I rely on photographs to remind me of events in my life.

As time goes on, without the photographs, the details and moments that made it so special, slowly fade. If you’re not happy with the photography, will you regret not making it a bigger priority? I honestly feel the photographer should be considered one of the most important aspects to wedding and event planning.
