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.

Elissa + Brian: Married!

I had he immese pleasure to shoot for not one but two good friends whom both are photographers as well. I’ve know Brian for over 4 years and worked with him on numerous occasions. When they asked me to shoot their wedding, I was honored and nervous too. There’s a lot of pressure knowing you’re shooting a wedding for people who also do this for a living! The wedding was held at the Grandview in Poughkeepsie, NY the last weekend in Februrary. Oh yeah, that also meant it was darn cold! But we were all troopers and pulled out some great moments with them!
