If there is one concern most wedding clients have, it is rain on their wedding day! For Elisabeth Millay and I, this was a blessing in disguise at the wedding of Kristin and Charlie this fall. I was happy to come along to help out on this rainy wedding because we had a very daring bridal party and Elisabeth is like the postal service; through rain, wind and snow, she’ll deliver! We had a great time running around the golf courses of the North Jersey Country Club, which is now one of my favorite places to work! You’d be surprised how most venues treat wedding vendors and the good people at North Jersey were an absolute joy to work with. Thanks to Kristin and Charlie, to this really beautiful venue, and to Elisabeth for having me along!

As I take some time in the next week or so to blog the unbloggged weddings, I’m starting to realize just how many there are! Its really rewarding to be able to go back and remember all of the fun details and sweet couples I’ve had the chance to shoot for this year both for myself and with some of my talented colleagues. Below is the wedding of Christina and Chad at Marina del Rey, right on the water. I got to hang out with Chad in the morning, who is a chef in Manhattan, and his really adorable dog who is pictured. Thanks to Todd Matarazzo for having me along!

Now that the year is over and Valentine’s Day is looming, I’m taking some time to blog the many beautiful 2009 weddings you haven’t seen yet! So first up, this beautiful colorful wedding of Rhian and Garrett at Blue Hill at Stone Barns on Halloween! The ring bearers weren’t the only ones gorging on candy! The couple had a mix of their favorite candies from all over the world as favors. Thanks to Elisabeth Millay for having me along on this one!

I was so honored to photograph the wedding ceremony of long time couple, Tiff and Colleen, who recently had an intimate and laid-back marriage ceremony at Gillette Castle in Connecticut. Then a few days later, we had brunch in Manhattan and walked around in the snow to take some more portraits! I’m looking forward to photographing Tiff and Colleen’s baby, who is due this March!

My first wedding of the new year was at the beautiful St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral and the intimate Soho Grand North Loft on January 2nd, 2010. The couple’s dog Coco was the ring bearer and the wedding was attended by about 30 of their close family and friends. I was happy to have Michelle Arlotta helping me for the day! Thanks to Jill and Mark for allowing me the honor to photograph their wedding.

I was honored to be up at Art Omi again to photograph the winter wedding of Amy and Hamlin. I could not have asked for a more perfect wedding to end this fabulous year! There is something really romantic about snow and we were blessed to have lots of it that day.

Amy and Hamlin are not only stylish and fun, but they are also two of the sweetest clients I’ve had the pleasure of working for. We took snowy pictures, had a snowball fight with the bridal party, listened to their talented friends perform and even got to hear Amy, a talented violinist, serenade Hamlin. After a quick outfit change later, Amy and Hamlin busted some swing moves to a jazz band. The next morning after breakfast, the guests were up and sledding down the steep hills of the property and touring the grounds to see Omi’s amazing sculptures. Thanks to photographer Elisabeth Millay and make-up artist Christina Natale for joining me. And thanks to Tim Ho for the last picture in this gallery of the bride and groom taking a photo of us!

Its the end of the season and with one fabulous wedding left in December (Art Omi, here we come), I’m setting out on a trip South to Argentina to warm up and chill out after a busy spring, summer and fall. I have so much to blog so here’s a fun teaser of just SOME of what is to come!

Rachel and David met up for pictures among the rolling hills of a golf course lined with colorful trees. It was chilly, but the rain stopped long enough for us to grab some shots of the couple as well as some family pictures outside. They had a small, intimate bridal party consisting of Rachel’s sister and David’s brothers and a big, high energy party! Thanks so much to the talented and fun Tanya Salazar for coming along with me to photograph! Thanks to Rachel and David as well as Rachel’s mother Linda for asking me to document such a special day! Here are just a few of my favorites and a grid of all their gorgeous details.

I first met Amy while working at MTV Networks as a photo editor. When I was able to meet her sweet fiance Chris and the couple told me they wanted me to photograph their wedding day, I was thrilled. The pair had their reception at a 19th century stone mansion in Rye, NY. Beautiful, colorful flowers and peacock feathers adorned the hall, where the couple had a high energy party with great music, much of it sung by one of Amy’s friends and a member of their 19 person bridal party. Amy and Chris still manage to root for long time rivals; the Red Sox for Chris and the Yankees for Amy. I’ll have to side with Amy on this one! Thanks to Michelle Arlotta for photographing with me for the day!

On Sunday, I shot an engagement session for Amy and Hamlin who are having their winter wedding at one of my all time favorite places, Art Omi, this December. Amy, being an amazing musician and teacher, brought along her violin and serenaded a gathering crowd up on The High Line. We walked around the fabulously trendy and beautiful meat-packing district of New York as the sun set over the Hudson. The couple told me that when they go on vacation they like to take jumping shots! How fun! Amy and Hamlin are such sweet and genuine people with great chemistry and I’m really looking forward to their wedding and maybe one or two jumping shots!
