Lisa+Greg

I had so much fun with Lisa and Greg!!

They won the after wedding portrait session last month and we finally met up and took some beautiful photos.

We started out at the Planting Fields Arboretum which was a fantastic location.

Lisa and Greg are completely natural in front of the camera and they make a gorgeous couple. Lisa even tried out new things; see the photos below. It was like Fear Factor and portraits all in one session. :)

Erin+Travis

Mariann June 26th, 2008

It was the greenest engagement session. Ever. :)

But it was so nice taking a little road trip away from the city and spend some time with Erin and Travis in Stony Brook. We did a little hiking, hang out with some ducks and frogs and searched for flower fields.

I had a great time! Thank you Erin and Travis!! :)

Michael and Leslie’s amazing wedding

Mariann June 16th, 2008

Leslie and Mike are such warm and fun people who are so in love with each other and their wedding day was extraordinary in every way.

It was everything I hoped for and so much more!! :)

Leslie did a fantastic job organizing and coordinating the wedding down to the last detail. 

The ceremony, the reception and the after party took place at Carltun on the Park, a fabulous location.

I love this one - it really shows off their personalities.

I really love photographing the wedding cake and always look forward to it at every wedding.

This cake blew me away!  It looked like a work of art.  I kept going back to the table to photograph it.  :)wedding photograph wedding photograph wedding photograph

 

The dance floor was packed all night.  This dance started out as the Tarantela but somehow turned into the Hora.  It was a lot of fun!

After the formal reception ended, the couple and their guests headed upstairs to the cigar lounge where cigars and hot dogs were passed out and a DJ was spinning the latest club hits.  It was so awesome!!

Isn’t this a great portrait of Mike?
