Yup, it’s cold and snowy here in the East Coast. It’s still real fun to go out and play in the snow and take some photos while you are at it. :) I had a great time with my very smart and funny couple Jill+Ali.
They both love to read together!
So romantic!
Thanks for braving the cold, Jill+Ali! I look forward to their wedding Columbus Day weekend this year. See you guys soon!

I can’t believe the day is finally here, when I get to share this wedding! I’ve probably watched it 25 times since I finished it because Kristina and Nick’s wedding was not just full of wonderful details and elegance, but laughs and tears that really showed just how much they care for each other, and how their friends and family care for them.
Now you’ve probably seen many of these details in their photo blog, but it took the skill of both Kristina and Nick working with the Katie O’ Events team to bring this all together in a beautiful and unique way. They knocked it out of the park! Katie has a utility belt that would make Batman jealous, that is, if Batman would like to sparkle… But she is always 100% prepared for anything. They way they designed the wedding really characterized their personalities and created the perfect atmosphere that embodied what this day was all about; their complete infectious love for each other!
There is a special ending to this one just as the credits roll, and I want to thank DJ Jeffery Scott for giving me great audio, not just at this wedding, but all year long. Amazing professionalism and F.U.N. fun!

Well, there is nothing like a Florida wedding in January to star the year off right! We have been looking forward to Tia+Bernardo’s Winter Park wedding for quite some time, they are good friends of ours and we’ve known Tia for a while. She became a friend of both of us when we pounded the pavement during bridal fashion week at theknot.com. Bridal Fashion week sounds all glamorous, and it certainly can be, but it’s also a frustrating long and at times stressful day. Tia was often times one of the editors who we’d go to shows with and we bonded right away – she’s such a sweetheart and good person. If you can make days like those fun, then you know you’ve got a good friend!
You may also remember their awesome Boston engagement shoot from the blog. They are also featured in the Engagement section of the regular website (yes they are like C+W celebs).
We just LOVED Tia’s Reem Acra from Kleinfeld Bridal. Can you see the subtle hint of pink? Our mutual friend, Heather (her wedding, here!), fashion editor at the knot, helped styled Tia!
I just love these little hangers. They make all the difference.
Something borrowed!
Love that Florida Sunshine!
Tia+Bernardo got married in the same church that Tia’s parents got married in 30+ years ago. Tia walked down the aisle to Ave Maria (the same song Tia’s mom walked down the aisle to).
Butta light time… it sure is nice shooting in Florida during the winter months
This was my favorite series of the portraits, just absolutely in love with these images (Luke)
The candy/cookie bar was Tia’s mom’s idea. She always keeps a lot of candy in her house (everyone loves coming over!). The Italian cookies were because Tia’s mom is full-blood Italian and Bernardo’s family also has Italian blood. They always get Italian cookies for special occasions. The candy/dessert bar was put together by one of Tia’s mom’s close friends with Fabergé bowls!
Isn’t this the coolest guest book ever??? Everyone signed their names next to their thumb print.
Tia+Bernard met at a University of Florida Gator Club event at McFadden’s in Boston, MA. Of course they had to play the Gator Song!
I love this last shot with their names gobo’ed behind them dancing
It was certainly our please shooting Tia+Bernardo’s wedding in Florida. Their families were amazing hosts!

Another awesome wedding at the Hall of Springs, this time with Caryn and Aric. They pulled out all the stops and transformed the hall into a classical, elegant space, that fit both their style and taste. There was one aspect to this wedding that I find very special and somewhat uncommon, and that is the abundant presence of children. They get out there and have just as much fun as the adults and it’s always fun to see how they are going to put their stamp on the night.
Had the chance to work with Cody Raisig from the city, who was doing the photo and The New York Players in the house dropping musical bombs on the dance floor all night. Everyone was loving that energy, including the kids.

It’s officially the winter in Upstate New York and that means no more weddings right? Wrong! We’ve got the lovely NYE wedding of Alissa+Gary, which was in lovely Utica, NY.
There’s a sneak peek of her Justin Alexander dress with her bouquet from Coriale Flowers and her awesome shoes from Aldo!
When all else fails, get out the iPhone for YouTube bow-tie tying tutorials!
Sparkly Ugg boots just in case it snowed but it didn’t!
Amy Elizabeth did an amazing job on the makeup, and Susan Redmond is to thank for the hair!
The ceremony was held in the lovely Tompkins Chapel at the Masonic Care Community.
And of course some shots right out front of The Stanley Theatre!
Love the Jim Hjelm bridesmaid dresses!
The Theater had lots of grand places to shoot in!
What a great way to ring in 2012. Congrats you guys!
