Tami and Pete - Milleridge Inn, NY

One of my favorite venues Milleridge Inn, has tons of old world charm. I have been going there since I was a kid, I even worked there for a week in 2001 while I was still in grad school. (that didn't last long - I am not exactly a waitress, I couldn't hold the tray up! lol)
Anyway, Tami and Pete looked amazing together throughout the whole wedding. Tami had a theme of Daisys through out the venue. ( as you will see from the cake )
My favorite thing to do at the Milleridge is of course going to the the village and eating their amazing cinnamon bread. I was pretty psyched to photograph them in the village .. Here are some of the pics:

Interesting and a thoughtful wedding present

So my second cousin Norm who came to my wedding last year, created Charactures of us from our wedding day and hand delivered them to us yesterday. They are awesome and I thought I would share this with all of you. How cute is this? How cool might it be to have an artist drawing these type of pics for your on your wedding day of your guests or even have them made after the wedding...

Winners for the Valentine's Day Destination Wedding Contest

First of all I would like to thank the overwhelming response to this contest for full wedding day coverage. I read so many stories of love, joy and unique beautiful wedding plans. I want to thank everyone for taking the time for entering the contest. The criteria was based on the most interesting answers.

Congratulations to

Rebeca & Martin
Location: Boston, MA
Reception Site: The College Club of Boston



Here are some snippets from their contest entry: "Our wedding will be a lot like us: from all over, bizarrely cohesive, and decidedly off-beat. We're having an afternoon tea party, complete with little sandwiches and scones, and are highly encouraging gloves and fancy hats. I will be wearing a 50s-inspired cocktail dress, and he will be wearing a leather kilt. There will be no dancing-- since we're having guests from four continents, we'd like to be able to talk to them instead of shouting at them. ....We want it to feel like an afternoon at a favorite aunt's-- somewhere comforting, warm, friendly and loving, full of the best-loved people in our lives. The college club is perfect for this vibe, as it's in one of Boston's oldest neighborhoods, and exudes that kind of settled-in, comfortable charm in all its built-in cabinetry and plaster work. We want it to be fun and relaxed, not stuffy and pretentious. But with kilts. everything is better with kilts"


On why they wanted me to photograph their wedding:

"We'd love to have you shoot our wedding because of your eye for detail, but for your ability to capture feeling and moments-- an uncertain smile, a tender touch of the fingers-- without seeming like you're violating the space. That takes ease and careful timing, and it shows in the finished work."

Shana and Yuriy

Ok I had a amazing time at this shoot with Yuriy and Shana..we had a blast at what was known as King Zog's Mansion (what is left of it) at Knollwood Preserve in Muttontown, NY. (good luck finding the ruins, but we did with some tricks)
I was even luckier to find a couple who would want to go on such an expedition with me for their engagement shots.
Yuriy and Shana I am excited for your wedding in September!



the light kept on changing every 5 minutes and so did my exposures

Unveiled Bridal Designs Tear Drop veil

Dorene from Unveiled Bridal designs, designed my wedding french cage veil last February and ever since then I have been a huge fan of her site. We collborated on a tear drop hat with a blusher styel veil. My friend Kim was my lovely model for the veil, she did an amazing job modeling. The shoot was in Amityville, NY where I currently live. Amityville has an amazing amount of antique stores and has a old turn of the century charm feel. Here are some photos from the day






( I can go on and on about this) Anyway just take a look in the end results in this slideshow I had alot to choose from since Kim was such a great model... :
