Marisa and Louis

Marisa and Louis are the type of people that make you feel "cool" just to hang around them : )

They're smart, they're witty, they have great taste.......and they gave ME the opportunity to photograph them!!

We had a blast at the MET and then DUMBO area.

Although it was cold, Marisa and Louis were fearless and I think it shows.

......So I got to feel cool for a day....until they told me they really weren't into" PDA" and I learned that they DIDN'T mean "personal digital assistant", but instead meant "public display of affection"............I suddenly felt very UN-COOL....

OH WHATEVER!!! (lol)

Luv you guys and can't wait for the wedding!!

**PS- for the rest of you who didn't know "PDA", check out: www.netlingo.com

it's pretty funny : )

Giving Back To Those Who Give!!

As we all know, times are tough right now. If you haven't been personally effected by the economy, you probably know someone who has. We're also hearing more and more about how important it is to "give back"..... it's good for others and good for YOU! We agree!!

It's not an original idea, in fact we got it from Disney, but here's our way of GIVING BACK to those who GIVE!

For couples getting married in 2011, you have a chance to win a FREE Basic Wedding Photography Package! This will include up to 8 hours of wedding coverage plus all high resolution images on a disc....a savings of $1800!!

We've also just added a FREE Basic Video Package, compliments of Juno Films!!! That's another savings of $1800!! That's a total of $3600!! From now through Aril 30, 2010 please send us a note or one page letter via mail or e-mail telling us a little about yourself and how you GIVE BACK to others. This can be in the job you do, in volunteer work, in helping a neighbor.....anything!! Feel free to include any wedding details about YOUR day if you like and/or a photo of yourself and your fiance. The winner will be notified the first week of May. Good for you for GIVING BACK to others and Good Luck!

Georgia & Manny-"W Hotel" NYC

I like people. I like getting to know people, their backgrounds, personalities, etc. And I like watching them and wondering what they're thinking.

About Georgia and Manny: they are like ONE. It goes way beyond completing each other's sentences.......They appear to know what the other is thinking and most likely they are also feeling or thinking the same way. They really "get" each other......Although they have loving families and wonderful friends, they really seem to only need/want one another. In Manny's eyes it's like "There's no point" if Georgia's not there to share with him and vise versa for Georgia. She worries about him, just as much as he worries about her.

About the wedding day: Freakin COLD AND WINDY!!

We STILL went outside, we STILL got great pictures, everyone STILL had a blast!! All you really need is to remember what this day is REALLY about.....then you can't help but smile, enjoy and naturally this photographs beautifully…...as you can see!

Georgia and Manny, you two are were (are) wonderful!!

Thank you for allowing me to capture these beautiful pictures, you were both very brave and patient with me and my photography OBSESSION!!.

You guys ROCK!!

Heather and Erick

I had the opportunity to photograph Heather and Erick for their annual photo session.

Apparently Heather and Erick get professional pictures every year! I love it! More people should do this.....wink wink.....

This year however was extra special because Heather and Erick were celebrating their wedding anniversary of 1 year!! I unfortunately did not get to photograph their wedding : (

but I sure wish I did! What a fun couple, who's willing to do ANYTHING for a good pic!! Love that!!

It was wonderful meeting these beautiful newlyweds in "love".

I'm so happy with everything we got and I hope we do it again next year ; )

Here are some of my favorites.

Heather and Erick, thank you for your time and kindness.
