Fire Island Family!

Oh I have been a bad blogger! These are some pics from a great little sunset session we did on Fire Island!

Alicia and Tommy - Fire Island Wedding

Alicia and Tommy had an incredible Fire Island wedding! It was a beautiful day and these two thought of everything, from ponchos if it rained to a ferry to bring all their guests to the reception. The wedding was so unique and fun, just like the couple! Both Alicia and Tommy had parents and siblings that danced the night away and the guests were all right there with them! It was easily one of the best receptions yet!







This little girl is dreaming of the day that she will be the bride!






























The famous "worm" done by the groom and a friend!





Tommy did not get the stuff animal but he got the best prize of the night- Alicia! Congratulations to the both of you and your families!!!

Carmen and Michael

Carmen and Michael got married this summer NYC style. The stage was a pavilion in Central Park created by twigs and vines. The transportation - pedicab and subway! I was in photo heaven. Notice in the shot above, Carmen was being helped by her mother...with a swiss army knife!























Carmen is an actress and full of expressions. I love this shot! Both Carmen and Michael have a great sense of humor and love to have fun! It was an honor to capture these emotions and others on their wedding day! Congratulations!

One big happy family!

Kristine and Tom and their 3 beautiful blond boys make for one big happy family! Dressed in all white we hit the jetty on Fire Island for some group shots. The boys were great, but they had surfing on their mind ...see below!







Running back to the house for their boards!











Let's not forget the adorable family dog! He was as excited as the boys to play on the beach!

Femi and Mark- NYC

Femi and Mark were my first NYC city wedding. It was an incredibly beautiful day in August and all their details and planning made the day like a modern fairy tale. For me, it was a nice extra challenge to include parts of the city to capture not only the bride and the groom but to also showcase their setting.






Trying to get a cab...





Femi and Mark got married at one of the most beautiful churches I have ever seen in my life- The famous St. John's the Divine on 111th and Amsterdam. Photography during the ceremony was frowned upon as the church finds it to be distracting- I don't disagree. But located outside of this church was a gem of a garden that we used to take some pictures. I love this shot of them in this secret little church garden.






After the ceremony Mark carried Femi across the street to their favorite weekend coffee shop.



The two of them hammed it up and role played their regular weekend activities of reading the paper with some coffee...funny how Femi turned right to the wedding announcement page!





Femi and Mark had their reception at a wonderful Italian restaurant on the upper west side called Nonna. The light in there was beautiful. The sweetest part of the wedding for me was when Femi and Mark played together. It was an incredible wedding moment. Congratulations to the two of you!
