New York Portrait and Wedding Photographer Joe Rumore bio picture

Welcome to my new blog site!

As a New Yorker all his life, Joe Rumore has always loved the timeless value of the still image. He began his career in broadcast television, working on various documentary programs for PBS and then in later years in TV news programs. That previous career path of documentary and journalism parlayed into the photographer he is today.

Joe has a passion for the art of wedding photography. He strives to visually create a story of your wedding in a more realistic, emotional and artistic way.

Joe’s inspiration comes from all of the heart-felt moments that take place throughout a wedding day. He loves to capture the romance, playfulness, and unspoken connection between couples.  He feels that images are often most beautiful and emotional when they are captured naturally, as they happen.

Brenda and Sean Married: California Vineyard Wedding

It was a blast to shoot in sunny California with Britney at Brenda’s fathers backyard in Corona, CA, which also is a home his own vineyard and winery, Dos Bastardos (catchy, right)? I was a beautiful warm day… perfect for an outdoor celebration!

Since we planned to shoot the couple’s photos before their ceremony, they had a nice private moment to see each other for the first time that day.
