Backyard & Small Event Photography in Montclair, NJ

Imagine a warm afternoon in Montclair: friends and family gather under string lights, laughter echoes through your backyard, kids run barefoot across the grass, and everyone is present in the moment. Now imagine having every one of those real, candid memories captured in beautifully lit, professional photos you’ll look back on for years.

Whether it’s a birthday party, graduation, engagement, or casual gathering, your backyard celebration deserves to be remembered just as it felt: joyful, authentic, and full of life.

That’s exactly what I deliver. I’m Bart, a professional event photographer offering backyard events photography in Montclair NJ and nearby towns. My goal is to preserve the moments you’re too busy enjoying to capture. With me behind the camera, you can relax knowing every meaningful glance, group hug, and unfiltered laugh will be documented with care.
