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.

Shawn and Vivian Married: Oregon Style!

Monday, July 21, 2008 Weddings

As you know, I always love a good excuse to travel… and a wedding is the best reason! Back in June, I had an opportunity to shoot with my friends Amy and JP near their hometown of Portland, Oregon. Shawn and Vivian were married at the Persimmon Country Club in the beautiful mountains of Oregon. Their outdoor ceremony site overlooked the golf course and featured a spectacular view of Mt. Hood.

The View of Mt. Hood!

Shawn and Vivian’s first look at each other before their ceremony. They are so into each other!

The ceremony was very moving… for both of them.

Even though it was a rather warm day… even a bit hot, the light was perfect that day for their wedding photos! We had such a great time traversing the grounds of the club in a golf cart for some great images.
