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.

Breanne & Rick: St. John, USVI

First, I have to apologize to both Breanne and Rick for taking so long to blog their wedding. Between myself and Kristin, we shot so many images that it’s taken a bit longer to cull through their images.

With that said… WOW! What a well planned wedding they had in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Breanne and Rick originally planned a small intimate wedding on the island, but had such a overwhelming response from their friends and family that over 75 guest were in attendance! They had their wedding ceremony on the water at Cinnamon Bay and finished with their reception at The Beach Villa, which happens to be where the couple was staying.

The day began perfectly…. the sky was so blue, and a light breeze keeping everyone a bit cooler. The clouds seemed to roll in just as the ceremony was ending, but those clouds held off at key times so we could take some great images! It did, however, rain during their reception… apparently the worst rain in over 30 years! But it didn’t stop their party spirit.

Thank you Breanne and Rick for letting me be part of your celebration!St. John, USVI Destination Wedding
