Calling All Brides!

So as I was trying to catch up on some blog reading.  I visited the blog of the very talented Event Planner, Candice of Jubilee Events.  She blogged about this Awesome opportunity for NY/NJ and CT area brides.  What a great concept!

Calling all BRIDES getting married in October, November or December of 2009 in the NY/NJ and Connecticut areas… 
We’re looking for “brides to be” to be featured on a new series that will premiere at the end of the year on a major cable network.

The premise? What if you had the chance to compare notes with OTHER brides before, during, and after your big day? On the show, you’ll be introduced to other brides that are getting married around the same time as you. You’ll be able to plan, compare notes, and work together towards your weddings. Then, you’ll be able to attend the wedding as a guest to see how it all comes together!

Sounds catchy… for more details call: 212-505-7775 or email: myweddingguest@gmail.com.

Make us proud!!

Erica & Brad - Married

Erica such a beautiful bride with a beautiful smile! David Apuzzo of David Apuzzo photography contacted me asking if I can help him out with this one. Second shooting is so fun. I love shooting all the details of the day. Erica chose such great colors, purple and mint green. Such an awesome combination! Here are some highlights from my perspective of the day :-)

I started out in the balcony for a birds eye perspective.

I love watching the expressions of the parents of the bride and grooms as they say their vows to one another. Here the bride's mother looked over at her husband when their daughter said "I Do" I bet it brought her back to the day she married; they still seem very much in love :-)

She has such a gorgeous smile! I caught this moment during the receiving line.

Just look at the great smile the mother of the bride is sporting. Must be where Erica gets it from.

Details. Her dress was beautiful!

Details, details, details. I love the great color combinations Erica chose. Such beautiful flowers!

Working with David was great in that he allowed me to guide Erica during her bridal shots. I love when I see so many great shots in my head that I can bring out through my lens. Thanks, David :-)

Since we were short on time and we were both shooting away with her in the balcony I ran inside for a different point of view.

Gorgeous, I could of photographed her all day!

I love capturing emotions during the first dance.

Thanks David for having me help out on this and Thank - You Erica and Brad the best of luck to you both.

Taren & Brian

A couple of weeks ago I had another awesome opportunity to shoot a beautiful wedding with Justin and Mary Marantz. Taren was absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! It was so sweet to witness the love that she and Brian share.

Taren's engagement ring was just beautiful.

Here's a closer look.

Isn't Taren just STUNNING!

I LOVE shoe shots!!!

Her dress was GORGEOUS!!!


The ring bearers were little hams! Justin, Mary and I got trigger happy whenever they were in our presence :-) Here the priest was pinning his boutonniere on. I love how calmly he watched.

See what I mean she is SO BEAUTIFUL!!! Here she just stepped out of the Limo and was headed into the church when she turned and gave me a HUGE smile.

There were so many guest.

The colors Taren chose were so classy.



The flower arrangements and bouquets were out of this world. I love how Taren's bouquet looks with her gorgeous wedding gown in the background.

Hello, these ring bearers were SO ADORABLE; someone get these kids an agent :-)

I got all misty eyed too. Taren's father was reading a letter he wrote her during the toast.

Father and Bride dance.

Mother and Groom dance.

The reception was so fun with a great crowd! I loved these guys :-)

THANK YOU so much Taren and Brian for allowing me to join Justin and Mary on your special day! Congratulations!!!

Matt & Lauren

I had an awesome opportunity to photograph a wedding with the spunky and overly-talented duo, Justin and Mary Marantz of Justin Marantz Photography. Their clients Lauren & Matt tied the knot at St. Theresa's Church in Trumbull, CT followed by their reception held at Grassy Hill Country Club in Orange, CT. The day started out with fierce rumbling skies and heavy rain by the time the ceremony was over the skies had cleared and sun shined as much brightly as Lauren's wedding ring.

Cheery bridesmaid bouquets.
Lauren's wedding shoes. I couldn't decide which shot I liked better so I posted both to share :-)

St. Theresa's Parish

The bride arriving. I love the detail of the umbrellas in this shot :-)
Unity candle

"I Do" The look in her eyes says it all.

The bride and groom departing the parish.

There is just something about this moment, I love it.

The sister of the bride and their birthday boy father. She was explaining to him how to take a picture with their digital camera without getting a blurry shot.
This little girl was adorable.

I added a little texture to this shot.

I just love that shade of blue.
During this shot I could hear Carla TenEyck's voice in my head. She's an awesome inspiration/coach ;-)

I love this of the bridesmaids with the bride. Mary totally set this shot up :-)

This is my favorite shot of the day.
So Val has a thing for beautiful flowers ;-)

Their DJs' were awesome! The lighting was insane!

I shot this at 24mm, 1/60s, ISO at 3200, f-stop at 2.8.

I was having too much fun with my off camera lighting. Justin reminds me of the joker here, lol.

Thank you Justin and Mary! You guys are awesome! I am looking forward to shooting for you again this Saturday! It will be a blast. Can't rain on this parade (CL) ;-)!
