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!!

Why do I call this couple the “Ultimate Family?” Well, this is my 3rd time photographing them, and not my last. A couple years back I was invited by mother of the groom to come to her home for some pictures of her family in front of the fireplace. It was a cold January day, but I was able to convince them all to go outside and enjoy a good old snow ball fight. One of my favorite canvases came from this shoot, going back in time: HERE. Earlier this year I once again met up with Mom and her youngest son, aka young Ryan Phillippe, to do some headshots. I was beyond thrilled when I heard the oldest son had gotten engaged and they instantly wanted to hire me to shoot their wedding. It is not only an honor to be chosen to be the photographer for one of the most monumental events in one’s life, but just as much an honor to be considered one’s “Family Photographer.”
I met up with the happy couple, just before the rain hit, at Vanderbilt Mansion. We got some play time with their cutie pie son and then got some one on one time. Can you say hello “Beautiful Couple!” I am very anxious to shoot their wedding this fall, but more anxious to photography their newborn session, one day…. LOL!!!
Finally, after 2 years of shooting weddings I finally shot one right here in Poughkeepsie. Not that I don’t mind the traveling around, but after working an 13 hour day, a 10 minute drive home is pretty sweet. With the weather being so on and off, you never knew what kind of weather April would bring, but Natasha and Matthew lucked out and had a beautiful day. They were married at the sweetest chapel in Poughkeepsie, Our Lady of Rosary Church, which actually hides behind the now condemned Psychiatric Hospital off of route 9. After the vows, the party headed over the Poughkeepsie Grand where DJ Bri kept the music rockin all night long. At the end of the evening, the guests were treated to the most amazing venetian dessert table I have ever seen. But they had me at the cake, hello RED VELVET! I was luck enough to score a piece 
Congrats to Natasha and Matthew. I hope you had an amazing day and I thank you for having us be apart of it.
