Early last year I shot my first boudoir mini session.  One of my girls was participating as a surprise for her boyfriend, Happy Valentine’s to him!!!  Well, apparently he loved the photos so much, as well as her, he put a ring on it!   So when Kristen emailed me about shooting her wedding, I was extremely gitty.    We met on a lovely day this past fall to shoot their engagement session.  Most of you in the area will recognize our background, the Culinary Institute of America.   I have been her many of times, but why can’t the bakery ever be open on weekends????

Anyway, thank you to Kristen and Darren for a FABULOUS and fun afternoon.  I can’t wait to shoot your special day!

Taking a look back to last fall, I met up with one of my fabulous couples for an engagement shoot.  It was a wonderful evening on the Hudson with amazing light.  We had some play time with their children, the furry and fluffy ones, and then off to the Walkway.  And lets talk about the shoes, I joked with Devon that she was going to blow the shoe photo up, poster size and hang it up over the bed.   The shoes were that FAB!!

I am so looking forward to their wedding this summer in Poughkeepsie.  See you two soon!

When an old college friend of mine announced on Facebook that she was engaged, I of course sent my “Congratulations!!!” and then followed it up with, “I know a wedding photographer.”  I was only having fun but was beyond thrilled when she said, let’s roll!   From dorm room parties, to watching her put on her wedding dress,  seeing your friend grow and starting the foundation for her own family, is such an amazing experience to be apart of.

I remember driving to this wedding in Connecticut, just watching the sky.  We had about a 60% chance of rain,  however not one drop of rain was to be seen that day.  The outdoor ceremony went off without a hitch, and the party, which started before the wedding, lasted until the very last song where the groom  gave a singing performance like he was putting on his own concert.  Yes, it was a FUN night.

Thank you again Jenn and Ryan for including me in such a wonderful day in your life.

More to come!!!

You might remember this beautiful couple from their engagement shoot at the Brooklyn Bridge earlier this year.  Well, only months later they were married in a beautiful, multi-faith ceremony in East Hanover, NJ.  The bride was just stunning, resembling Carrie Underwood, in her Enzoani dress and hot red shoes. This couple did their first look at a lovely park, where apparently a lot of brides and grooms like to do their photos.  It was a tad humorous for everyone when one of the other wedding parties was wearing the same bridesmaid color, obviously a great choice.

Thank you Lauren and Scott for trusting me with such and important day, and thank you to Jeff and Kim for sending them my way.  I truly felt like a family member that day, and it was great to finally meet some of my Facebook Fan Page stalkers.

Finally, Rudy’s parents are legit!!  For those of you not familiar with Rudy, peek HERE.   There was NO doubt that the day was HOT, nothing went off 100% on the timeline, but I can say, the day was wonderful, the bride was gorgeous and the party was on!!    The wedding itself itself took place at Marist College, where the bride is an alumni.  Prior to the wedding, we hit up the groom’s alma mater, The CIA for their first look.  There is nothing better on one’s wedding day, than to see the look on the bride and groom as they see their spouse to be for the first time.  When Angus looked at Jenn, you can tell she took his breath away.

The reception took place at Rolling Greens at Dutchess Golf and Country Club, in Poughkeepsie.  It was my first time there, and I can’t wait to go back.  They treated me like gold so I can only imagine how well they treated the bridal party.

Congratulations again to Angus and Jennifer, all the best wishes to you and your life together in Atlanta!!
