Twice a year, the International Society of Professional Wedding Photographers (ISPWP) chooses the top images from various categories.
We are ecstatic to announce that Kristin has placed with not one, but TWO photographs in the Winter 2012 ISPWP Contest: 2nd place in Pure Art and 5th place in Humor.
At Photomuse, we view photography as more than a skill. It is an art.
2nd Place Winner. Click the picture to view the other top images!
Thanks to all of our fans, our business has been booming. It’s time to expand and call in the big guns.
Photomuse is proud to introduce our new intern, Rochel Spangenthal!
Rochel hails from North Carolina and is presently studying Neuropsychology and Biology at Yeshiva University. During the day she is an Organic Chemistry whiz, but at night she transforms into a creative artist. Besides for being a photographer and active writer, she is an avid collector of useless facts and can often be found speaking to strangers because (as she phrases it) “people are awesome”. And without further ado, we’ll let Rochel speak for herself:
Hello fantastic people and photography enthusiasts! Pleasure to meet you. I just wanted to share a bit about why I’m ecstatic to join the Photomuse team.
As a single girl in my 20’s, it is expected for me to concern myself with the question of whom I’m going to marry. As a single photographer in my 20’s, I’ve been more occupied with fantasizing about who is going to be my wedding photographer (The groom is a minor detail).
For me, photography is magic. Gazing upon a perfect photo is like being sprinkled by a pinch of Tinkerbell’s fairy dust – you begin to fly and are transported to a land far far away. After spending countless hours scouring photography websites, I was dismayed that wedding photography seemed standardized. Tens of businesses presented a homogenous collection of poses with open spaces in which to paste a face in a white dress.
And I couldn’t find that magic. I had almost given up hope. Until I stumbled upon Photomuse. And suddenly, my faith in the world of photography was restored.
Kristin and Steven capture something intangible. A hope. An emotion. Their photos are not only reminiscent of an event, but an epic tale. Each image is a unique composite of past, present, and future tied into a single shot. Their photographs convey the magic, tension, and joy of your moment. They communicate your individual message. I’m thrilled to be allowed to partner together with them and you.
No couple is standard. Why should your photographs be?

I am happy to announce a new collaboration with the exquisite jewelers Michael C. Fina. All of the past collaborations with the MCF family have always been enjoyable and creative opportunities and we look forward to bringing more fun to the table!
Since great proposals are often accompanied with beautiful engagement rings, it seemed only fitting that our first guest blog post for Michael C. Fina be about the proposal itself. Steven and I trekked from one end of New York City to the other with an adventurous couple (who will be getting married this year), to show some unique proposal locations that are off the beaten path.
We hope you enjoy this post! Please feel free to leave commentary about your own proposal or locations that you know about!
Off The Beaten Path

I’m so excited about this recent engagement session and wanted to put a sneak peek!
Steven and I shot Jeanine and T.J. last week at his hot rod shop, Throttle Jockey Originals. I have known about how talented Jeanine is from the artwork I’ve seen (did I tell you the envelope her contract came in was even inked??) SO cool! So when we got to the hot rod shop and saw two of T.J’s builds, I wasn’t surprised at all to see how these two talented artists found their way to each other!
It was a fun shoot and they were both really patient as we tag teamed their session coming up with new ideas all while showing the great relationship they have.
Enjoy!

Our session with Jean and Sam last October is being featured on the UK wedding blog OMG I’m Getting Married.
This is one of our favorite blogs so I am thrilled to have our work featured here. Coupled with that is the fact that this session was one of my favorites as well! Meeting Jean and Sam and shooting their engagement and then their elopement was like living Casablanca! I love their story and they did such a great job of styling their own session, it made it quite easy for us.
Check out the session today on the OMG blog.
