Congrats Amanda & Chad!

Amanda and Chad (and Abaigeal, too!) had a beautiful day! They married at St. Rose before we headed downtown to the Capital Building for some fun with their bridal party. We dodged raindrops, long enough to get some adorable shots of these two. They are so good together!

Thanks, Amanda & Chad, for making us a part of your special day! We look forward to working on the video soon, too.

Kate & Ben - Engagement

Wow - did we have fun with these two! They are so great together - they completely indulged us with a fabulous engagement shoot at Yaddo Gardens. With such crazy schedules for all of us, and Kate and Ben traveling in from Boston - I'm so psyched that we could coordinate some time to meet up and 'play.'
Thanks, Kate and Ben. We look forward to shooting the wedding - only 2 weeks to go!

Congrats Kiley & Matthew!

Wow - what a party! Following their early afternoon ceremony at St. Thomas in Delmar, Kiley and Matt showed everyone what it meant to celebrate a wedding! Die-hard Yankee fans, Kiley and Matt carried the theme throughout their wedding, from the blue bridesmaid dresses, to the guest tables named in honor of their favorite players, to the unique cake topper (which we HAD to recreate - all in good fun - thanks Matt, for putting up with that one!), the reception exuded Kiley and Matt's enthusiasm for their favorite team, and for each other. Love, love, loved their first dance! And the Refrigerators kicked-started the party, which exploded well into the night.
Thanks, Kiley and Matt, for making us a part of your shout-out-loud, gotta-love-it wedding day! We look forward to working on the video soon, too.

Congrats Aimee & Ryan!

A beautiful wedding day for Aimee and Ryan... FINALLY! (I'm saying that in regards to the weather, but their family and friends were probably saying that in regards to their 10+ year friendship turned courtship!) You may remember them from their oh-so-fun engagement shoot at the grade school where they first met. We knew from that moment that their wedding would be all about fun, which it was. Following their short-but-sweet ceremony, the bagpiper and drummer added a classic touch, escorting the couple into their Franklin Plaza reception.

Thanks, Aimee & Ryan, for making us a part of your special day! We look forward to working on the video soon, too!

Kristi - Bridal Session

Kristi (of Kristi and Ryan) jumped at the chance to twirl in her beautiful dress once more on a day when we had much more time to hit a special location. Special thanks to Cristina Rivera at Glowing Faces for lending her make-up talents. Kristi is such a natural in front of the camera - glowing, sweet, stunning - and she fit right in among the gorgeous roses of Yaddo Gardens. Seeing a bride in the gardens gave it a whole new romantic feel!

NIck & Dana - Bridal Session!

I'm so glad Dana & Nick were up for this! Since it was so crazy hot and humid on their otherwise perfect wedding day, we were able to get together on a more refreshing summer-friendly day. Nick was such a sport to do this! And he got to see his beautiful bride one more time in her amazing dress! Who else could pull this off twice so well? (Anyone is welcome to try - we had so much fun!)

Brynn - 6 months

We were so happy to see Brynn again! You may remember her from her adorable 3-month session... Could she be any cuter??? Thoughout her shoot, I just kept saying, "She should be in diaper commercials!" How sweet is this face...
Looking forward to her 9-month session, part of her 'Baby Steps' Program which chronicles her first wonderous year. I am so honored to get to see her grow!

Jennifer & Adam - Engagement

Right back to Yaddo Gardens, and those rumbles of thunder we heard earlier in the day brought with it raindrops. We had to work FAST before scooting over to the Hall of Springs where we took cover until the showers past. But it made for some nice variety, and Jennifer and Adam rolled with it, looking fabulous in every location.
Thanks, Jennifer & Adam, for being so flexible. We were so glad to get a chance to meet up with you while you were in town, and we look forward to shooting your wedding in October!

Emily & Brian - Engagement

Rumbles of thunder in the distance did little to interefer with Emily & Brian's session at our favorite, Yaddo Gardens. So glad the rain held off long enough to get in some nice shots of these two, since Emily and Brian were in town for just the weekend!
Thanks, Emily & Brian! We look forward to shooting your October wedding!

Kelly & Wes Engagement

We had a blast meeting up with Kelly & Wes at Yaddo Gardens for their engagement shoot. We're thrilled they could make some time while in town - we know, it's tough planning a wedding from out of the area!
Thanks, Kelly and Wes - we look forward to shooting your wedding next June! PS. Nice wheels!
