Well, at least that's what I'm calling it since it's been a year and a half in the works now.
Summer of 2009 I got connected with a pretty fantastic film producer. He wanted to do a trade with me, vow renewal photos in exchange for a promo video. I was stoked, especially since I'd seen Andrew's work before and was more than a little impressed. Well, we began work right away, but the year got away from me and before I knew it summer '10 was here and I still hadn't finished work on it!
So we shot the remaining parts of the video this past summer and it's finally making it here... I've had it for a few months in it's completed form, but I'm intimidated by youtube and the internet in general, generally speaking ;) Anyways, here goes! Also, there is a direct link to the video located in the link bar at the top of the blog :)

Laura and Danny - now a family of 3
These pictures were taken last September, yes, September. But I mentioned previously that I'll be doing some posting to catch up... so here we go :)
Danny and Laura's wedding was September 10, 2010, and I was asked to be a bridesmaid! I wasn't their official photographer, but a week before their wedding I was able to take some super cute engagement/new family pictures. Laura has a daughter who was 4 at the time and now they're a cute little family!
In looking back at my previous posts, I realize that I have posted hardly anything taken in this field you see below... Get ready to see more of it, maybe like another hundred and twenty thousand times... because it's a fave spot :)
The very best pictures are unposed and real. Danny and Laura are just that. Certainly they asked me what to do, but I was so taken with their natural chemistry I hesitated to give much direction... I didn't want to ruin the moment! That's often the case when I am shooting :)
Steve and I got the chance to visit this lovely couple just before Christmas. Since their wedding they were able to move into a really beautiful home, made even more beautiful by their unique decorating style and the love throughout the halls. Sometimes I want to stop myself from sounding so cheesy, but c'mon, for real people, love is just too special to skirt around :) I love love, and I love Danny and Laura :)

Jay and Lucy - down the aisle July 24, 2010
The day started out hot, humid and overcast. Clouds loomed above and I kept glancing outside anticipating the inevitable rain. Much like my own wedding day, the anxiety of rain on an outdoor wedding was frustrating, but they had prepared for this with huge tents covering their backyard ceremony site.
The girls prepared at the Woodcliff Hotel and Spa in the beautiful Victorian suite.
And yes, those are her Manolos. They showed up again at the Hot Mama shoot!
Apparently Lucy's mom was a model... and it rubbed off on her :)
As we waited for Lucy's father to pick her up at the hotel, the clouds continued to sweep across the sky... and the first drops arrived as she walked down the aisle. But they say rain on your wedding day is good luck ;) It was absolutely perfect.
For literally months before the wedding, Jay and Lucy handcrafted these oragami chandeliers. Each one was different and absolutely exquisite!
Because of the rain, taking bridal pictures was a challenge! We had to run out from under the tents in between showers... but the leftover rain in the air made the trees and greenery look so lush and full, to me, it was almost like a fairy tale *sigh* But hey, that's me... and I'm just like that :)
green and purple martinis to match the colors of the day :)
Recognize that float wrap above on the left ;)
The oragami chandeliers and tiny white lights created such a beautiful backdrop! I love how in so many of the pictures you can see a little sparkle... and the way they danced... well, it's all just part of the fairytale :)
Lucy's mom made the cupcakes from scratch. They were hands down the *best* wedding cake I've ever had. And I love wedding cake let me tell you. These were simply amazing and very creatively displayed too!

Can you feel the love?
Winter's in NY are white. Or brown... depending in the day, and your perspective :) I try to keep things bright by enjoying the whiteness of snow and cuddliness of the cold weather...
Another trademark of winter up here is the undeniable aversion to spending hours outside taking pictures ;) I love a good snow picture here and there, but I am not gonna lie and pretend I just love freezing my butt off every day. And as long as I'm being honest, not many people are banging down my door asking me to do that!
So in the meantime, I am going through the sessions from last year that I never got around to publishing. I get so much pleasure working with brides and grooms... from the moment I meet them, through all the contract-y stuff, on to engagement pictures and then the wedding day... Yes, the wedding day. The culmination of it all! It's so thrilling to me to share that day with my newly found friends!
Jay and Lucy were such an example of a bride and groom with whom I made quick friends. Just 12 days before "I do" on a hot balmy evening in July we ran down a path behind her parent's house to take some engagement shots.
It was short and sweet. The chemistry was undeniable. These two were brought together to last.
Check back tomorrow for their wedding :)
