A ReBar Wedding – Lauren and Kris are Married!
May 3, 2012 – 1:00 pm
I was excited to shoot my fourth wedding at ReBar, one of my favorite Brooklyn venues last weekend! It was a pretty rainy Sunday, but Lauren and Kris were so awesome about braving the rain! Armed with umbrellas and a good attitude we managed to get their first look and bride and groom portraits before the rain really started to come down. I loved all the little touches they added to their wedding day. From their Jenga guestbook to fun handmade banners, they did a wonderful job adding their personalities into their wedding day. Here’s a peek at their wedding day – congratulations!

Mike and Kina were married last weekend at the stunning Mallard Island Yacht Club in Manahawkin, NJ. With the help of family and friends, they added a lot of personal touches and details to their day. Everything was so beautifully done. They also threw a fantastic party, which helped to start my weekend of weddings off with a bang!

Last weekend (on my birthday!) I photographed the wedding of Lyndsey and Jonathan at The Grove in Cedar Grove, NJ. It was my second time shooting at this stunning venue and my first wedding of a very busy 2012 season. It was a gorgeous day and everyone was so wonderful to work with and be around. They also started my 2012 season off with a dancefloor that will be pretty hard to top! Best wishes to Lyndsey and Jonathan – enjoy!

New York City Fire Museum Wedding – Nancy and Doug!
March 4, 2012 – 7:08 am
In honor of today’s Wedding Crasher’s Event, I thought it would be fun to blog Nancy and Doug’s wedding. Nancy came to see me speak at last year’s event! While there, she also found talented make up artist, (and fellow Brooklyn Betrothed member) Anni Bruno of NYC Faces, as well as the wonderful Naturally Delicious!
The two had a fantastically fun wedding at the New York City Fire Museum. I loved every second with them, their guests and their wedding party and I’m so excited to share it with you today. Here are a few peeks at their beautiful day. Congrats!
Best bouquet catch ever… and I truly mean ever!

Monmouth Beach Bath and Tennis Club Wedding – Noelle and Marshall are married!
January 23, 2012 – 1:53 pm
Noelle and Marshall were married at the stunning Monmouth Beach Bath and Tennis Club in Monmouth Beach, NJ. It’s very rare that I do not meet a couple before the wedding, but this was one of those cases. Noelle booked me over the phone several months before their day, after viewing Dana and Brian’s wedding on Facebook. We chatted a few times on the phone, but I truly didn’t know what to expect when I arrived in Monmouth to shoot their wedding. Boy, was I overwhelmed with eye candy! The more I talked to Noelle on the day, the more I realized just how hard she worked on the elements and overall style of their wedding day. It’s safe to say that she completely succeeded in pulling off a truly inspirational DIY wedding. Everything was just beautiful! Best wishes to Marshall and Noelle!

Interactive Guest Book!
January 9, 2012 – 2:28 pm
This past weekend was the Lovesick Expo at the Music Hall of Williamsburg. It was a total honor to exhibit along side of a select group of talented and unique wedding vendors – I can’t wait to share more about it.
At the expo I displayed a few of my new products for 2012, but this interactive guestbook was such a huge hit that I knew I had to share it on the blog. The book is 10×10″, 30 pages and completely customizable with images from your engagement shoot as well as questions for your wedding guests to answer on your big day. It makes a truly unique keepsake from your wedding day!
A Truly Vintage Wedding – Old Field Club, East Setauket – Allison and Greg are Married!
December 1, 2011 – 10:04 pm
When Allison first contacted me about her vintage wedding, I was super excited. Everything she described sounded so glamorous, I knew it was something I would love to photograph. The more she and I discussed details, the more excited I grew and after seeing her attention to detail for their vintage engagement shoot, I knew their wedding was going to be flawless. I was so impressed with how it turned out, that I had to ask Allison how she pulled it off for the blog. Here’s what she said!
“Greg and I tried to be as genuinely vintage with the details of our wedding as possible. The original concept came out of our love for old movies and we slowly expanded the vision to include other aspects of the era that we enjoy like 1930-40′s jargon, vintage fashion and music. Both my dress, which was very similar to one worn by Katharine Hepburn in the movie Holiday and Greg’s bespoke suit, which we designed from the cuffs up, were the jumping off points. The accessories we used were real vintage pieces that were like new and anything we couldn’t find we made ourselves with the 30′s and 40′s in mind; the same went for all of our reception decorations. I knew right off the bat that I wanted to hand-make as many things for the wedding as I possibly could, the catch was not having them look homemade. I have to admit that at times Greg and I felt slightly overwhelmed by the projects we had undertaken, like the telegram Save the Dates, all of which we baked in the oven to obtain an aged appearance and some of which caught on fire, ha! But looking back I can honestly say that we wouldn’t have had it any other way. At the end of the night Greg and I had received so many compliments that we knew all the effort we put into even the seemingly most mundane detail was well worth it!”
