Palace Preferred Photographer: Twice Upon a Time

June 29, 2024

What a treat to be a Palace Preferred Photographer, where we both value putting clients first, making the process simple for clients while allowing them to customize their experience, communication, and working as a team, too.

The Palace at Somerset Park asked me to photograph their event, Twice Upon a Time, it was so much fun! It allows couples to relive their wedding day at their venue, but this time as a guest, partying with other people who got married there too– what a great date night!

Palace Preferred Photographer, Lisa Rhinehart, captures this vibrant, colorful, fun image of guests as they dance with one another during the twice upon a time event held by the palace at Somerset Park in New Jersey — Here I wanted to show the party from the DJs perspective! The mixer, the lights, the chandeliers, and everybody having such a great time!

This is something Palace and I tried to coordinate for every couple and we made sure to do during my time at “Twice” too!

Palace Preferred Vendors

I gathered with other Palace Preferred Vendors at Twice Upon a Time, it was so nice to see so many friendly, talented, familiar faces!

Ella, one of wedding planners at The Palace shares “Lisa is amazing– She is a delight to work with from both a venue and client perspective!! She consistently produces some of the most beautiful photographs I’ve ever seen!! I know I will personally continue to recommend her to my couples looking for an amazing photographer since she has so much talent, genuine passion for her work, cares about her clients, and continues to provide such remarkable services to our couples!”

David says, “As a maître’ d, I work with many different photographers, most of which I have to be on top of to stay on time. However, when I see Lisa’s name as the photographer assigned to my weddings, it is a sigh of relief! She always stays on time and breezes through pictures with such ease and calmness. She is very easy to work and communicate with to the point where it’s like she is part of the Palace staff.”

Twice Upon a Time

Ella says, “Twice Upon a Time gives us an opportunity to be able to invite past couples to come back with family & friends to relive their wedding night! Knowing how busy our couples can get on their wedding day between hosting their family & friends, *getting married* and trying to enjoy every second, Twice gives them the chance to return to The Palace to experience the magic as their guests did on their special day!”

She continues, “I highly recommend attending Twice Upon a Time if you have the chance. I had the pleasure of attending my first one this year and it was an absolute blast getting to see some of my clients who attended and dancing the night away with them!”

Colorful Candid Moments

Ella smiles, “Whether it be your typical bridal portraits, golden hour & night shots in front of the building, or shots of the details, food, and the venue for an event, Lisa does a fabulous job capturing every perspective and moment. She’s always open to creating any fun and out-of-the-box shots she might come up with or something special a couple or client may want! If you’re looking for a photographer who can bring any vision you have to life, look no further than Lisa– Watch her work her magic on the memories that are truly going to last you a lifetime!”

Traditional Portraits

While my focus is colorful, creative, custom-tailored photography, as a Palace Preferred Photographer, I also make sure to get flattering, well-composed, and lit photos of each couple in addition to those creative images, too. My assistant Joe captured these traditional portraits while I was capturing candid moments. He captured everyone who wanted their portrait. Here are just a few…

Creatively Capturing Emotion and Location in a Vibrant Way

Ella says, “I think anyone who works in our industry will agree that there’s nothing more important than showing our couples that each wedding and couple is unique and really matters to us! I’ve always felt that it’s our job to make a client’s planning process and wedding day easier, fun, and stress-free. And I’ve never felt like this aligned more with a vendor understanding this than Lisa and the team at Rhinehart Photography!”

She adds, “Even working with her to plan our Twice Upon a Time Event, she was on top of communicating with me about details that I (as a planner) may have not even thought of from a photographer’s point of view. And as I’ve mentioned before, from a venue’s POV, Lisa is on top of everything from submitting her documents, confirming timing, and everything in between!”

Ella smiles, “We’ll always use your photographs to highlight the venue, your work, and our couples across all of our social media pages! We adore your work and even have some of your photos featured as main shots on our website! There isn’t a single photo of yours that we’ve posted that hasn’t been loved by anyone who comes across our pages!”

Thanks, Ella for inviting me to photograph your Twice Upon a Time event! I love being a Palace Preferred Photographer!!!
