Nok & Tim

Frequently I can sense the anticipation in a couple of the big day to come, even in this case when the wedding is 1.5 years in the future. That's how far in advance Nok & Tim had booked me to be their wedding photographer. This time the tables were turned a bit and I was the one getting really excited about the shoot. I love shooting every of my wedding projects and am honored by my all clients for allowing into there life for a brief but intimate moment and that they recognize the artistry & sensitivity I bring to their pictures. For Nok & Tim's wedding my nerves were a tad more jumpy than normal. Like most Brides, Nok throughly researched & planned every detail of their day. She even tracked down a DJ she loved so much from a wedding she went to 4 years earlier. When she choose me over a top competitor and was posting every move she made on the theknott.com to her knottie friends, I guess you could say I was psyched!

The day came and the weather was perfect. Sunny & dry, warm in the sun but not hot. Nothing worse than a sweaty bridal party. The pictures tell everything.

Kerri & CJ

I had to get permission to shoot this wedding. Kerri & CJ's wedding was June 23rd, which also happens to be my wife's birthday. Holidays & family events are super important to us. Fortunately permission was granted because like all my couples, the wedding was great. The ceremony was held at the St. Paul's Episcopal (corner of East & Westminster) and is one of the prettiest churches in the city. Did I mention that the Bride was pretty also? Of course she was! Kerri is also one of the sweetest people I've ever met. At one point CJ kidded arounded that I should come on the honeymoon to shoot but realized it was mood spoiler.

Tammy & Mark

A prefect june wedding. Tammy & Mark, Rochester natives currently living in Manhattan returned to host their wedding a the Rochester Divinity School. A wonderful venue for beautiful couple. I really felt honored to shoot this hip NYC couples big day

March wedding image

I wanted to start off showing some of my fav pics from the year. I realize it's July and these pics have snow in them. Katie & Scott had a beautiful wedding and about 16" of snow on the ground. Who would have thought we would get a snow storm St. Patrick day morning. To be honest I thought it was wonderful. Pure clean white snow! How symbolic and what a why to start a new life together. I really love the image of them with the snow balls. Since a snow ball fight was out of the question I knew I had to incorporate some snow balls into one of their portraits. Congrats guys!

Gettin' around to it....

I've had this blog for 6 or so months and I'm Finally putting something here. You would think I was afraid of computers or something. The complete opposite actually, I'm a bit of computer dork/ photoshop maniac/ pro- anything web, digi & I even used a site called Google once! I'm funny too!

The wedding season is upon us and things are in full swing. So far all my couples have been fantastic! I think the universe directs people to you for a reason, not that I'm all new age and consult my crystals before grocery shopping but it's true, think about it. I know Bridezilla is out there but we haven't met and doubt we will. I do understand the pressure todays wedding couple must endure. planning, dreaming, meetings, web searches, phone calls, phone calls not returned, returned phone calls with mega attitude, parents, budgets, friends that don't understand, jealous friends and the occasional fiance issue. Whew..... That was a mouth full!

There I blogged.... My next post will have pictures!
