Amy and Andreas - December 15, 2007

What a couple and what a wild wedding this was. There was everything in this wedding considering that it was a small and intimate wedding of about 12 guests total. Amy was absolutely stunning and Andreas looked smooth. They wanted a NYC wedding and boy did they get one. From having to take cabs to the first stop to getting a limo driver who never drove in NYC to losing quests along the way to getting stopped by the cops and to getting out of the limo in the middle of 5th Avenue during the holiday season it was a wedding to remember. The ceremony was at the famous Riverside Church which I was recently at. The reception well that was quite interesting as Amy and Andreas wanted to make stops throughout NYC and then have dinner with there guests at the Rainbow Room at Rockefeller Center. The tour of the city was wild and crazy but so much fun. It all didn't work out as planned but the memories will definitely last a lifetime.

Let's start with Amy getting ready at the the Riverside Church. She looked GLAM and FAB when I arrived. We started right away with her bridal portraits. So here are a few.


I was able to grab this shot right after we were done with her photos. There is something about this image. There is something classy, elegant and sexy about this image. I just love it.
And of course the handsome groom.

The best man was a riot. This was right before Amy walked down the aisle.

Can you feel the love between these two. Hello! They were so in love I have to say.

I think this image saids it all. When you have someone you love look into your eyes with such happiness. You just know they're the one!

As I mentioned before, The Riverside Church is a beautiful church with so many spots that it's a photog's dream. The lighting is just awsome. So here are a few of the lovely couple.



Those arches what can I tell ya!


This was the first stop that Amy and Andreas wanted to stop for some apps. Boy these were delicious apps I have to say. Gigino was down in Battery Park. Great little place. Each stop that Amy and Andreas wanted to make was significant in their relationship.

This was on the way out to the limo before heading to the Seaport for a photo with the Brooklyn Bridge as the backdrop.

Amy and Andreas with the Brooklyn Bridge as the backdrop. This was at the top of the list for Andreas. Something he always wanted.

The evening ended at Rockefeller Center with the huge Rockefellar tree. It was an awesome way to end the evening. Rockefeller during the holiday season is just so iconic.
And of course the tree from a distance. Talk about feeling the holiday spirit.


Amy and Andreas thank you for an absolutely wonderful experience one that I will never forget. You guys made it through this crazy but yet fun and memorable wedding. I am pretty sure you will have stories to tell your children and grandchildren for years to come. God Bless you both and may your marriage be just as fun.

Deven and Josh - November 9, 2007

I had the privilege of shooting this wedding with Michelle Arlotta a very talented photographer. Deven and Josh are very good friends with Michelle and her sister. Deven and Josh are probably two of the nicest individuals one can meet. Deven is a super sweetheart and Josh is Mr.Laidback. They celebrated their wedding at the Stroudsmoor Country Inn in Pennsylvania.
What a scenic and gorgeous venue. It was also a COLD day and these guys were troopers.

It was also several days after Halloween so the pumpkins were still out and of course Josh had to have a black cat who loved to be photographed.

The cat whose name escapes me wanted a portrait next to the window and of course of his good side. Hey I'm a photog what am I supposed to do. I like to give animals some love especially having had a cat while growing up. You go little kitty!

Deven had a little wedding day note for her future hubby. How sweet! So sweet it gave me a cavity! LOL!

Here's the cat wanting to try on Josh's shirt and Tux.

Brotherly Love! We were in PA, I know not Philly but close enough I guess.


One of my favorites from the day. Just love the rustic shack and the guys looking smooth like butta!
Let me tell you Deven had a special GLOW about her. She was simply radiant and beautiful. There was just a certain calm about her that was magical almost.

This was a cool bridal party. Funny thing is the girls are Deven's sisters and the guys are Josh's brothers. I thought that was pretty cool!


Deven and Josh just being Deven and Josh.


As my little 2 1/2 year old would say, "daddy yummy, yummy in my tummy." I had to go there.

These little guys were so delicious it was sinful. Needless to say I had a few and some for the long drive back.


I think these are the images that say it all.

Thank you Deven and Josh for a great time. You guys are special and I wish you nothing but the best. Congrats and best wishes to you and your newest little member. May god bless you all!



Mary and Steve - November 3, 2007

Mary and Steve what a wonderful couple. You guys were so amazing and great to photograph. These guys had me laughing and cracking up the whole day. Mary and Steve and their ceremony and reception at the famed and historic Riverside Church on the Upper West Side. One of the most beautiful churches I have ever seen. You can feel the history as you walk through the halls. It was an amazing experience. The reception was downstairs and it was awesome. It was a party with non stop dancing.

Enough of that let's take a look at some of the beautiful images from Mary and Steve's wedding.
Let's start with Steve who was their just before Mary arrived. The interior was just out of this world. This Church is HUGE, I mean huggangamous (yeah I just made that up so don't bother looking it up)!

One of the little guys just hanging out before the ceremony. This kid was a riot!
Here he is with his cronies

Mary and the girls.

For a church the light that was available was actually amazing. Mary looked absolutely FAB.

I thought it to be crazy to have arches like these in a church through the halls. Are you kidding me. A photog's dream, good light and great interior inside a church!

I caught Mary peeking just before walking down the aisle.

I must confess that during the ceremony this kid and I were playing a little hide and seek. I got you.


Mary and Steve after the I dos.
Mary and Steve wanted a huge group photo of all there guests. Boy, this is a huge group photo. Probably one of the biggest I have taken at a wedding. Talk about a group photo.

Mary was very emotional during her first dance with her new hubby.

.....But she was also a barrel of laughs.

Mary and Steve were really cool and relaxed in front of the camera. As I mentioned earlier, they had me cracking up all day.

Mary was working it and doing her thing in front of the camera. You go GIRL!

Mary and Steve getting hot and heavy in the elevator. Almost had to tell them to get a room.
Mary and Steve thanks for a fun and crazy time. It was a pleasure photographing your wedding and the two of you. Best Wishes and Congrats!
