Nicola & Chris - October 20, 2007

When I first met with Nicola and Chris I knew this was going to be a fun and exciting wedding from the start. During the consult, we just hit it off and before we knew it out meeting had lasted more than a couple of hours. I remember Nicola saying afterwards that when they left that night, "he's our photographer." It was great to hear that because I knew this was a special couple. The wedding day was a BLAST! The connection we made that night shined through during the wedding. It was non-stop fun from beginning to end! Nicola and Chris got married in Pearl River at St. Aedan's and their awesome reception was at the Nyack Seaport.

Let's take a look at some of those incredible moments from their wedding. Nicola's mother was not at the wedding but she was definitely there in spirit. Nicola had a lockit with her mother's picture inside in rememberance.

Now some of her bridal prep.


This was Nicola the whole entire day. Her excitement and energy was real!



Chris is the MAN! This guy is probably the funniest groom I have ever had the pleasure to photograph. He was a photo opt ready to happen and we had to be ready for him.


Now a few from the ceremony.




This is true raw emotion and one of my favorite images from the wedding. Talk about capturing the moment. There is nothing you can do but be there and hope you "steal the moment and freeze it."

After the ceremony, we headed to Memorial Park in Nyack down by the river for photos of the bridal party and Nicola & Chris.


These are the images that just make you smile and feel all warm and fuzzy!

I wasn't kidding about Chris the guy just knows how to just have fun and cut loose!
Nicola and Chris needed very little in terms of what to do. They just had fun with it and did their thing. They are just real people and I loved that about them.






This cake looked yummy and tasted even better!

I tell you, I can't make this stuff up!

Nicola and Chris I just want to say that you are both AWESOME! Sometimes you come across some people and you just can't help but smile and be happy when you're around them. You guys make me really love what I do and I thank you. Thanks for a magical and special day. I wish the both of you joy and love. Love Ya! Congrats!

Maria & David - October 5, 2007

This was a great all-around day and wedding. We got to do a great deal of stuff and go to many places all in one day. It was action packed to say the least. I started out in Brooklyn, NY with Maria's bridal prep and the ceremony which was only a couple of blocks away. Maria the adventurous and outgoing gal that she is walked to the church with her girls. We then went to Prospect Park for photos, the Brooklyn Bridge promenade, and then to the city for the reception at 24th and 5th which is the name of the venue.

Let's start with some of the details from Maria's wedding. As a wedding photog, I must admit I got a little giddy when I saw Maria's Manolo Blahniks laid out on her bed. I have a shoe picture taking fetish what can I say.

That's Maria's brother looking at her and who also walked her down the aisle.

The girls anxiously waiting for Maria.


Maria was definitely a happy bride. She had such a smile and infectious laugh. She is just full of life.


As I mentioned earlier, Maria and her girls walked to the church.


Maria just never stopped smiling the whole day!

One of the flower girls had her own thing in mind during the ceremony.


The ceremony was just filled with moments like this one.


I loved the doors and the arch of this church and I had to take advantage and do something with Maria and David.


Here's the lovely couple walking in Prospect Park right before the family portraits.

The guys were having their own fun. Quack, Quack!

One of my favorite's of the day.

Maria was daring and willing. She wanted night shots with the city as a backdrop and she did not hold back.

The venue was just beautiful and the decorations were gorgeous.

Maria and David thank you for an extraordinary day full of life and happiness. You guys are truly wonderful and I wish you the best. Congrats!

Jill & James - September 30, 2007

I have to start out by saying WOW! What a couple. Jill and James were one of those couple that were just sexy and seducing to the camera. They just knew what to do with each other and had fun doing so. They had their ceremony and reception at the Glen Island Harbour in New Rochelle. Let's take a look at this sexy couple. Before I get to them, let's start with Jill's portraits in the bridal suite.



The flower girl was just to cute and adorable. I just loved how she was just looking in on Jill.

Flowers, flowers, oh those flowers. Beautiful!

I was able to snatch this one during the ceremony of Jill looking over.

James was a sport and a super cool Groom!

And now some of the Bridal party. These guys were just willing and able. A photog's dream!




And of course can't forget about the couple.

WOW!


Yikes!

Gotta give my boy James some love.


The couple doing their thing during the first dance.


The Glen Island Harbour is just one of those venues that just lends itself to great night shots.

Jill and James thanks for a wonderful day. I had a great time with you guys and I was honored to have captured your special moments. I wish you guys the best. Congrats!
