The Village Club at Lake Success Bat Mitzvah Photos – Mazel Tov Rachel!

The Village Club at Lake Success played host to Rachel’s Bat Mitzvah in early December, and we had the pleasure of capturing the day for her and her family. The evening started with Rachel and her family meeting us at The Village Club, just as the finishing touches were being put on the party. We spent some time with Rachel, making some fabulous portraits of her, and then her whole family together. Soon guests began to arrive and as the music came up in the speakers, and the doors swung open, we were all ushered into a fantasy world of the sweetest dreams possible. Music and decor by Total Entertainment and Lighter Than Air helped to hold this dreamworld aloft well into the night. A fantastic night – Mazel Tov Rachel!

El Caribe Country Club Wedding Photos – Stephanie and Michael

Stephanie and Michael’s wedding at El Caribe Country Club took place on a beautiful Autumn day on Long Island. We had a fantastic time with these two and can’t wait to see them back in the studio again when they put their album together. Here’s what Stephanie wanted to share about her day: “68 degrees and sunny was perfect weather for us! My bridesmaids and I met at Metro Modes Salon/Day Spa in Bellmore for hair/makeup and mimosas and we all got ready at my parents house afterwards while the groom and groomsmen got ready by his parents house. My dress was Melissa Sweet from Priscilla of Boston and my veil was handmade for me. The florist we used was Bayview Florist and Montage in Massapequa Park. Our friend Terry Porfyris with Studio 55 Productions was our DJ and we also had a bongo player who our guests absolutely LOVED, and Michael and his friends showed off their break dancing skills on the dance floor which was great. We used Breezy Point Entertainment for our photo booth which was one of the best investments for entertainment. Everyone loved it! It was the best day of my entire life :) Congratulations again Stephanie and Michael!

The Lighthouse at Chelsea Piers Wedding Photos – Sara and Nick

Sara and Nick’s NYC Wedding at The Lighthouse at Chelsea Piers was fantastic! We had so much fun capturing their day for them; here’s what they wanted to share from their day: “It was a really great day for Nick and I. We started out the day way too early, getting ready at my parents house, then onto a bus into Manhattan, where we obviously sat in unavoidable NY traffic at the 59th Street bridge because they were filming a movie. I had hoped for a beautiful fall day, and except for a little wind, we had excellent weather. We had searched long and hard for a venue and the Lighthouse turned out to be absolutely perfect, the staff made sure everything ran seamlessly and there was nary a problem the entire day. Our favorite part of the day was the ceremony, which we worked hard with our Reverend to customize. I wore my mom’s blue garter, jewelry borrowed from my grandma, and I was married in a wedding band that belonged to my great grandmother, that was very meaningful for me. I walked down the aisle to one of our favorite Iron & Wine songs, which our band leader Pete Saunders learned specifically for our wedding. One of the funniest things that I think happened was that I actually forgot to wear my veil during the ceremony, and nobody realized! Even I did not realize until we were leaving and I saw the bride who was being married that evening at the Lighthouse taking pictures in her veil, and I was like, oh my god I didn’t wear my veil! That, and my cousin’s fiancée split his pants open dancing – a good time was had that afternoon. In fact, our band actually told us that they could not believe how many people were up and dancing since it was an afternoon wedding. We had a blast.” Congratulations again Sara and Nick!

Water’s Edge Wedding Photos – Melissa and Billy

Melissa and Billy’s wedding at Water’s Edge was a beautiful affair on a perfect fall day in November. We met up with Melissa and Billy early in the day for photos of them getting ready to see each other before their ceremony. A beautiful ceremony at St Thomas Moore church in down the street from Melissa’s home brought us into the beginning of the evening. Warm weather held on just long enough for their wedding day, and the gorgeous light of sunset over Breezy Point was perfect for portraits of the two of them as night fell on their first day of marriage. Then it was off to Water’s Edge to meet family and friends to party down with Hank Lane, while surrounded by gorgeous flowers via Spitz and Peck florist. Congratulations again Melissa and Billy!

Carlyle On The Green Wedding Photos – Francesca and Juan Carlos

Francesca and Juan Carlos had a beautiful wedding at Carlyle On The Green in early November. We had a fantastic time capturing their day for them and we can’t wait for them to see all of their proofs. Here’s a few notes that Francesca wanted to share: “We both have three older sisters and together we have eight nieces and nephews so family is very important to us. We thought it would be wonderful to have our nieces and nephews in the wedding as our junior bridesmaids and groomsmen. They all looked so cute and did such a great job! As long as I can remember I’ve wanted to hear Canon in D play for my processional. To me, there is no greater song to play! The moment the string quartet started playing it I completely lost it. Unfortunately both of my grandma’s have passed, and as a way to honor them (and give myself some comfort) I used my Grandma Libby’s handbag and attached my Grandma Grace’s brooch to my bouquet. It made me feel like they were there by my side. After all the planning and stressing it was finally time to get married! Seeing the reception room for the first time – before any of the guests saw it – it looked like a magical enchanted forest with candles and flowers everywhere. Andrew Pascoe is amazing and so wonderful to work with!” Congratulations again Francesca and JC!
