Kendra and Dave at the Manhattan Penthouse in NYC

Last year ended with a great wedding and it's only fitting that 2008 started with a bang. Kendra and Dave were absolutely wonderful and awesome to work with. They were so happy and definitely in LOVE! The weather was ridiculous for January it was so nice out. The ceremony and the reception took place at the fabulous Manhattan Penthouse. The views were amazing from the top floor as well as the wedding. I also had the privilege to have one of my good friends help me out who is also a very talented photographer Millie Batista from The Studio Weddings.
Millie worked with Dave and the guys. She is a tough cookie and always gets the guys to cooperate and get great stuff.

So let's take a look at some of those wonderful moments from their wedding. Kendra was absolutely beautiful and had such wonderful glow to her.



The bridal suite was tight but I managed to get an overhead shot of the good looking ladies helping Kendra with her dress.

Kendra's smile was infectious that day!

She took some killer portraits as well. Her smile was just killing me and yet it was all naturale!

I just love this shot because it gives a sense of where we are in relation to the city. Boy were we up there.



Here are some of Millie's awesome images with Dave and the guys. She definitely worked the city for her background.



Now the ceremony. It was beautiful.



Now for some killa images of Kendra and Dave.

Hot Hot Hot !

Because the weather was so nice for this time of year we had to take it to the city streets.



These guys were all smiles throughout the day.


Kendra and Dave, we thank you for such a wonderful time. You guys rocked it out and made our jobs that much easier. We wish you guys the best on your new lives together. Way to kick off the new year to a wonderful season. Thanks!

Julie & Andrew - December 29, 2007

This was my last wedding of 2007 and it was a great one. Julie and Andrew are two just wonderful individuals who are just full of life and of love and it showed on their wedding day. They married each other in Staten Island. The reception was at the Renaissance. Julie was all about keeping things simple yet classy and elegant. Andrew is an officer in the Army and was sporting his uniform to the nines. It was actually a beautiful day for this time of the year. we were able to do somethings and have some fun outdoors at a near by park.

As always one of my favorite parts of the day is the bridal prep and Julie did not disappoint. Julie was very comfortable in front of the camera and I just let her do her thing. So let's take a look.



Her dad was super cool and smooth. he helped his beautiful daughter out of the limo and guess who was there to capture it yours truly.

Andrew was overcome by emotion when he first saw Julie for the first time as she walked down the aisle with her dad.



Andrew showed us all is range of emotions from tears to cheers.

Julie and Andrew were very natural in front of the camera.


These two newlyweds were all smiles the whole day.

Andrew and the fellas.



Some portraits of the handsome couple.

And some of them together. These two were a sexy little couple I tell ya.


The first dance was very sweet and emotional.



Andrew's parents were also emotional as they witnessed Julie and Andrew dance as husband and wife for the first time.

The two are cracking up because Andrew's brother gave one of the funniest and most memorable Best Man speeches ever. You just had to be there for that one.


Of course the little ones.




Julie and Andrew thank you so much for a wonderful time. You are both very special people and I wish you guys nothing but the best. God Bless you both and your families. Andrew Bets of luck to you in Iraq and to all the men and women in the armed forces who are away from us especially during these holidays. We want you back home soon!

Happy Holidays to you all and thank you to all my wonderful couples who help make 2007 a great year for me. It has been a pleasure and an honor to be able to capture all those special and wonderful memories. For my 2008 couples, look out because we're going to have some good times. Looking forward to capturing your moments as they unfold.

THANK YOU ALL!!!!!
