Back to work!

I went back to work yesterday... after a holiday weekend I am always very busy... returning phone calls, e-mails, etc.... Fourth of July weekend was a nice little break... I did not take on any weddings for this past weekend because I love the fourth of July and really wanted a long weekend off! We went camping in the Adirondacks... it was so relaxing... campfires, margaritas, good food and antiquing... the bunny pictured above was one of my little finds.. I love colorful, little, vintage figurines... this bunny is now going to be sitting on my desk.... time to catch up on the enormous amounts of editing I have to do!!!

pin up....

today I did a "pin up" shoot with Sarah (she looked lovely and was great in front of the camera)... above is just a tiny selection of all of the shots we got today.... we did a mix of studio and "on location" (outdoor shots).... this will most likely be my last post until early next week, since I am going away for the the 4th of July weekend! Have a happy 4th!

have your cake...

I did not photograph the lovely cakes that you see above.... I came across them on another blog and had to re-post... they are so adorable! I love wedding cakes... when ever I'm photographing a wedding, I always find myself taking way more photos of the wedding cake then is really necessary... I am just drawn to them.. they smell delicious and they are edible, beautiful, pieces of art... what's better than that! Anyway, the cakes above are by Sarah Magid, an organic baker out of Brooklyn. How sweet! .... check her out Sarah Magid

Sneak Peek.. Lauren & Bill...

I had so much fun photographing Lauren & Bill's wedding this past Saturday.. here are a handful of photos...
It was a very nice day... the ceremony and reception were both lovely.. & the bride and groom were escorted to their reception in a 50's Cadillac, owned by the father of the bride....

Happy Friday...

This week I have been very busy editing and have fallen a bit behind in my blog postings... I plan on posting some photos, early next week, from tomorrow's wedding. Next week I will be busy with editing, portrait sessions (including a pin up photo shoot!), and just trying to catch up on lots of work before the holiday weekend..... anyway... here is a little tribute to MJ... it's hilarious... 1500 prisoners practicing the incredible dance routine from "Thriller" = )

This Past Saturday... Amy & Patrick

This past weekend was originally planned to be a free weekend, but when Amy approached me to shoot her & Patrick's wedding for 3 hours on Saturday afternoon, I happily accepted... I didn't pull too many photos to post ... just a few of the gals and the guys hanging out prior to the ceremony and a few of the couple together after-wards ( I don't have many reception shots from this one, since I was only there shortly in to the reception )... Unfortunately Saturday turned out to be a rainy day and the ceremony was moved in doors! We did get a brief window of opportunity, right after the ceremony, to run out and do a couple of quick outdoor photos...

rain....

ick... the rain makes me so tired... the rose bushes outside of my apartment look tired too...

Brianna & Stephen

Here are some shots from Brianna & Stephen's wedding this past Sunday....
They had a very warm and very sunny wedding day! The flower girl was adorable and seemed to enjoy having her photo taken... however, she's only pictured in two of the photographs above... Some cool things from this wedding... the bride's bouquet... the ceremony harpist... the bride's grandfather was the sax player in the band that played during their reception... Anyway... there are lots of photos from this wedding, but I only had time to quickly pull a few shots, since I'm very busy editing this week....

Stephanie & John

Here a few shots from Stephanie and John's wedding this past Friday.... it down-poured about 10 minutes prior to their outdoor ceremony... but then it brightened up and all turned out just fine...

Happy Weekend....

I'm not posting any photos today.. just getting ready for a double wedding weekend! I will have lots of photos to post next week = )

Engagement Session with Faith & Sean...

Here are a handful of photographs from my engagement session with Faith & Sean last night... I love the ones of them standing in front of the vine covered brick wall! ...

Jodi & Lucas

Above are some images from Jodi & Lucas' wedding, this past Saturday... it was a beautiful setting... the bride made her own bird cage veil (pictured above), which I thought was lovely... the couple's dogs participated in the ceremony... they had an accordion player play their ceremony music...the food was delicious... it was just an awesome wedding. The ceremony was outside and was completed about 30 seconds before a huge down pour...so unfortunately, we were not able to do the wedding party photos outside, which was really a shame since there was such beautiful imagery available... we did have about a 2 minute break from the rain, in which I took the couple outside to do some quick out door shots... we didn't have much time before it started to pour again... even with the nasty weather, this wedding was a great one!

Photos from Saturday

This past Saturday, I was second shooter... helping a friend shoot a wedding... it was interesting and kind of fun to not be the "main photographer" that day.... here are just a couple shots from Saturday.....
