maureen & marc

October 31, 2011 in bands, banquet facilities, florists, hotels, videographers, weddings | No comments

bob and i had a great day with maureen and marc first at the sheraton hotel in eatontown followed by their ceremony at st. rose in belmar…on the way to the channel club, mark wanted to stop in asbury park for some photos unaware as we all were that the annual zombie fest was under way…i’m still not sure why zombie fest wasn’t halloween weekend but in case, my couple were drawing more attention than any of the zombies there and it seemed like there were thousands this year!  in any case, we did manage to find some quiet spots on the beach, then off to the channel club where daddy pop entertained everyone…it was great working with emil from mike simons video and seeing andrea and chris decker, whose wedding i photographed several years back…flowerful events provided the florals and even though there was mostly cloud coverage instead of the usual phenomenal sunsets that channel club the night could not have been more perfect…thank you fred for everything as usual…

after the rain ashlee and mike had on their day i was thrilled that sun was shining in full force the next day for kristen and andrew…kristen’s YSA Makino dress was GORGEOUS and i could have photographed it for days…The flowers provided by the always wonderful petal beach were the perfect compliment to kristen’s dress and the bridesmaids eggplant colored dresses…after a lovely ceremony at united methodist church in red bank, we headed down to riverside gardens in red bank for some pictures before the reception at eagle oaks country club in farmingdale…it was so great to see ed back and in form…we missed you ed…and the FRESH band were incredible and always such a treat when i have weddings with them…

 

love this xxoo

ashlee got the beach ceremony at 7 presidents park in long branch she wanted although just as the rabbi said i do, the heavens opened up and let loose crazy rain that you could not even see past!  thank you to the random car that pulled up and offered me temporary shelter after seeing me curled up in the sea dunes…and, even though i looked like i took three showers by the time we arrived at branches for their reception, the rain stopped and we were able to get a few more photographs outside before going in for their reception…thank you stasia for all of your assistantce that day and for the much needed hot coffee…narcissus did a beautiful job with flowers and i loved the handmade letterpress invitations that ashlee made herself…

this happy little man is the product of two of my favorite clients…i’ve spent many happy moments documenting meghan and ryan’s wedding, meghan’s maternity session, her brother steve’s wedding and today i received a call from the last of the cussimano’s, daughter, jacki who happily informed me of her engagement!  he is a tall baby like both of parents and just as happy and easy going…i met meghan in spring lake park where we some sun on the swings, slide and at the lake where a gutsy swan made contact…meghan and i were holding our breath thinking that thomas was going to take his first steps in front of the camera but alas we had the reach out but no actual movement…it was exciting though and brought me back to my son’s first steps (a long, long time ago…) and i have to say i got a little misty… take a look at JOY here…

rebecca & anthony

October 9, 2011 in bands, banquet facilities, dress designers, florists, hair and makeup, shoe designers, weddings | 8 comments

there are not enough words to describe how great these two people are and how much fun we had with them…they were so relaxed behind and in front of the camera even though anthony had expressed his discomfort to his bride about being photographed beforehand and especially since asbury park was jumping because of the music festival that was happening that day!  the weather was misty but we were able to get out on the boards and grab some great shots before their ceremony at the berkeley oceanfront hotel…petal beach did their usual amazing job with the florals and i absolutely loved the skeleton leaves that bonnie put in the bride’s bouquet…i had never seen them before…rebecca’s jimmy choo shoes added just the right amount of bling to her sophisticated and elegant gown by lazaro…rebecca’s hair was done beautifully by kelly marchetti of thompson’s salon in shrewsbury and a special thank you to mary koury for all of her assistance as the day of coordinator…cravings of allenhurst provided the simple but pretty cake and the A band kept everyone on the floor until the end…a very special thank you to my friend and colleague, elliott negron, who came in from the city to assist me on my weddings this weekend…
