12-9-08 Abad Wedding

12-8-08 Steve and I shot this wedding a little over a month ago. Our couple was thrilled with the results. mainly they were renewing their vows after 14 years of marriage and trying to have photographs that best complimented their original photography. She email me images of their family posed together 14 years ago and I was able to best match those with their maturing daughters. They were quite the party crowd, everyone had a blast and the DJ was excellent. I hope you like the images.

10-13-08

Erin and Jason hired a photographer for their wedding and I was trying hard to stay out of his way. So I was only able to get some ambiance images, plus my seat at their wedding was terrible I was behind all of the tall folks. But i enjoyed shooting what i could.

5-6-08 Anna + Alex

5-6-08

As many of you know , I have been working on launching our new website for a while now. While getting ready for that big day I have been going over a lot of really great work from yesteryear. Namely my very first wedding I ever shot. Anna + Alex, very good friends of mine in New York City. They had been dating fora short while just 6 months or so when Alex job was going to take him to San Diego, so they decided to wed quickly, just a little over a week to plan. It was on Halloween so many people came dressed in a costume. They married in a photo studio on the lower east side and had their reception @ a fun little lower east side diner. One of the waiters was dressed as a sailor so that made for some fun pictures with our bride. So they married and moved to San Diego in about 2 weeks time. Don't worry Alex work brought him back to New York City in a short 2 or so years. Here are my favs from that shoot.

4-30-08 Anniversary Issue

4-30-08

I'm getting a bit of a late start this morning, I was totally teased by a Robin Meade story this morning, so I stayed to watch and I fell asleep waiting for it and as far as I could tell it never ran...

So anyway, I promised in honor of Steve's and my anniversary I would show off some of the lovely images that Ryan Benyi shot for us on our special day. I could not have been happier with my wedding photography, in fact I couldn't have been happier with any of my wedding vendors

we had Dine by Design cater the event I can't remember the person who did our flowers, Austinites it matter to you she's in New York, but she was great. Our location was stunning it over looked the hudson river and lower tip of Manhattan and NJ. Breathtaking, right at sunset. You'll see that in just a sec. On out honeymoon and during the week after the wedding my husband and I recorded our memories on wave files to preserve their newness and now we're so glad we did. We get to hear about our wedding day as if it happened just that week. It really helps us rekindle the spirit of it. So last night we listened to parts of it, just out memories of our respective Bachelor and Bachelorette parties and Sunday night we'll listen to the rest our group bachelor/bachelorette party (A scavenger hunt around New York City) and the rehearsal dinner day and our wedding day. It still feel quite fresh especially with out memories to remind us. When we originally did it, we were going to type them out, then we thought well instead why don't record them then type them out, then after we listened to them, we think listening to out own voices say the words is was better. Especially when I leave the room and come back proclaiming CAKE!!! which we ate wedding cake for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for nearly a week after. Nice.

I've been holding out long enough, here are the pictures.

4-26-08 Andrea + Eduardo Wedding

4-26-08

Andrea + Eduardo's wedding was incredible. They went to great length to make everything beautiful and everyone was happy. There was not a dry eye in the place, including mine.

4-25-08 In honor of...

4-25-08 

In honor of Andrea's nuptials, I thought I'd tell you the top five things I did the day of my wedding for before the wedding. 

1. I woke up as slow as I could, coffee & breakfast with my sister, BIL Doug, and Mom.

2. Then we watched some scary conservative guns and ammo show on cable while they spoke to me all of the wonderful things marriage can provide. 

3. A long hot bubble bath to reflect and think about how wonderful my life is.

4. A trip to a famed New York City stylist house for hair and make-up with my best girls. All giggling about the day, my best friend went to get us lunch at a nearby deli and that was the first time in 10 years and since that I had a bologna and cheese on white. It was delicious.

5. The entrance of Cakeman Raven, he was the baker who made out wedding cake and rather famous in his own right, he travels often with an entourage and is famous for doing the cake for the Birthday of the Brooklyn Bridge he has a section of his website that talks about all of his famous clients sadly we're not on there. But when he came in with 4 people in tow to drop off the cake I was so excited to see what he had come up with, we gave him limited perimeters to work with in and we had no idea what he was going to do. http://www.cakemanraven.com

It was lovely. 

My wedding day was the very best day of my entire life from beginning to end I wouldn't have changed a thing. Some of you may know already, or not that this coming Tuesday April 29th will be the 2 year anniversary of that event. We don't have big plans really, I think Steve is going to make me lamb chops. We are going on a short get away at the end of June to commemorate, after our busy season.

Nearer the 29th I'll add a few images from our wedding up.

Well I gotta split, I have a wedding to attend.

Thanks for looking.
