Here are a few shots from a wedding we shot in Hartford, CT this past August. Small, simple and sweet. We had a great time shooting this one.
A few details…
The beautiful bride!
Followed by the handsome groom…
Marjorie, Johnny, we wish you the best in the years to come!
Thanks for letting us be a part of your beautiful day!

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to shoot senior portrait sessions for two of my cousins, Alexandra and Matt, upstate in Utica, NY. We spent about an hour in the morning driving around to various softball fields to get some shots of Alex in her softball uniform. In the afternoon we all met at Proctor Park to shoot some more. The pressure was on since I know I’ll be seeing a lot of these pictures around the houses of my various family members, but it was a fun session to shoot regardless.
Alex and her sister Jenna.
I took some shots of the whole family which will accompany their Holiday cards this year.
Matt was in a bit of a hurry to jump in the car and drive to Syracuse for an SU game, but we still managed to get in some good shots.
Matt and his sister Adrienne
Thanks guys for a fun shoot, see you soon!

In the heat of summer, we sat on the back porch sipping iced tea, going over the details of their wedding – it was the first and only time we met Jesseca and Justin face to face before the big day. They laid out the timeline for the day, made their expectations clear, and told us when and where to be. Their quiet, calm demeanor in this first meeting did not prepare us for what was in store – Jesseca, Justin, their families, and their friends are the kind of people that know how to have a good time. From the moment we showed up at the hotel to shoot the girls getting ready, ’til the moment the last song ended, it was pure fun.
Both the ceremony and reception were at Dutchess Manor in Beacon, NY. It was an outdoor ceremony overlooking the Hudson River and the weather was beautiful. We all headed inside after the formals and bridal portraits, and watched the sunset over the river as Jesseca, Justin, and their guests partied the night away. The two DJs from Dance Time DJ really got into the party and kept the music pumping until the very end. The number of awesome dance shots we captured is a testament to how much fun they all had.
Ceremony and Reception: Dutchess Manor
Bride’s Dress: Precious Memories Bridal and Formal Fashions
Hair and Makeup: Dazzles Hair Salon
Floral Boquets: Flowers by Reni
Music: Dance Time DJ
The dress and floral arrangements were beautiful…
… and so was the bride.
There’s no substitute for capturing true happiness in a photograph.
Bride and bridesmaids.
Jesseca with Mom and Dad – they all have wonderful eyes.
I love this shot of Jesseca’s mom getting her camera ready in anticipation of Jesseca and her dad walking down the aisle.
The flower petals in the aisle were a nice touch – much more practical for an outdoor wedding than a standard runner.
Eddy came up with the idea to do a 1900′s style wedding pose, so we edited it in a style that was consistent.
Justin looking good.
Jesseca and Justin’s first dance.
I captured this shot of the father/daughter dance as the warm sun was setting over the west bank of the river.
I wasn’t kidding when I said they partied the night away. When people are having fun, it makes our job so much easier.
Jesseca and Justin, it was a pleasure to photograph your wedding. We hope you enjoy the photos, and thank you for letting us be such a big part of your day and making us feel like part of the family.

A couple of weeks ago we went with some friends to Hunter Mountain in Hunter, NY for their Oktoberfest celebration. The lift was running so we were able to head up to the top of the mountain and take in the beginning of the fall foliage season. There was actually a wedding ceremony taking place and the guests were coming down the mountain as we were going up. We got to the top just as the photographer was finishing the bridal portraits. All I can say is wow – what an amazing place to get married.
Can you imagine saying your “I do’s” with this as your backdrop?
They hadn’t taken down the wedding decorations and we used the opportunity to snap some portraits of Amanda and Mike.
There was a nice mix of green, orange, red, and yellow in the trees, and the clouds created some big shadows on the countryside below.
We met up with Erwin and Maritza for an awesome engagement session in Central Park in New York City. This session was especially special for me since Erwin and I are actually friends since childhood and this was the first time I was meeting Maritza. We all had a great time and can’t wait for the wedding next fall.
Though the park was busy, we were able to sneak in a few private shots here and there like this moment under a bridge.
An intimate moment then quick break for hot chocolate :)
Congratulations Maritza and Erwin!!!!
We met Nicole and James at Benmarl Winery in Marlboro on the Sunday evening before Labor Day. Benmarl is a special place for them because it’s where James proposed. It’s not the venue for their wedding, but they thought it would be a great place to do their Engagement Session. There was actually a wedding taking place while we were there, but we managed to stay out of their way and take lots of pictures in all the hot spots.
Location: Benmarl Winery, Marlboro, NY – Thanks Bethany!

We performed a reenactment of the proposal on the hill overlooking the valley. Some customers walking around thought they were bearing witness to the real event, so when James stood up they all clapped and cheered and shouted “Congratulations!” – it was great.
Luckily we didn’t miss the big harvest, so there were ripe grapes on the vine.
Nicole looking gorgeous – her eyes are fantastic.
Her smile is great, even though we lose those bright green eyes.
These two really know how to work the camera. Shooting their wedding next May is going to be a blast.
I caught this intimate moment in the wine cellar through a metal gate at the bottom of the stairs.
