Connie and Tom tied the knot!

Mariann October 9th, 2008

Connie and Tom had their outside ceremony and reception at the Westmount Country Club in New Jersey.

The perfect weather let us do all the formal portraits outside at the Lambert Castle which was a great backdrop for photos.

Here are some highlights from Connie and Tom’s special day.


The vibe in the groom’s room is always so different from the bride’s.  Here is Tom with his dad and brother.

Tom and Connie’s first meeting - I love this series!











Connie and Tom incorporated the tea ceremony into their wedding ceremony.

The officiant was Connie’s brother, Eddie, and the couple wrote their own vows.




Connie and Tom’s first dance started out as slow swing then half way into the dance it turned into a surprise cha cha.  They did a fantastic job!

The tables were named after movies and shows the couple played roles in.





The always excellent Eturnity Band provided the music.


Connie and Tom had a slide show made from family and childhood photos.

Tom surprised Connie with a special song dedicated to her.

Make up and hair by the wonderful Sachiko Yanase.

Flowers by Pedestals Florist.

Connie’s custom wedding gown was made by Atelier Elen Paumere Couture.

Custom stationary design and event coordination by Limor and Monica from Koru Event Design.

Congratulations to Connie and Tom, a very special couple!

Abby and Neil’s wedding

Mariann September 1st, 2008

Abby and Neil got married. Again. This time in New York. Their first traditional Indian wedding took place in Trinidad a couple weeks before this wedding.

The wedding was beautiful and colorful and the reception rocked the house. People from Trinidad sure know how to celebrate!

We started the day with the formal portraits of Abby and Neil and their wedding party at Sands Point Preserves. The ceremony and reception took place in Jericho Terrace.

And at this wedding, the groom also wore white!!

Here are some of my favorite images from the day.

Abby, who loves the color blue, had blue shoes, blue flowers, and blue bridesmaid’s dresses.

The beautiful flowers were created by Flower Michele.

How cute is Jillian, Abby’s flower girl? Every time the camera pointed at her, she had a huge smile on her face!



You can still see the henna on Abby’s hands from their other wedding ceremony.

Special Indian dances were performed celebrating the newlyweds. It was beautiful and one of the highlights of the evening.


All the cameras came out when Neil was putting on a show while trying to remove the garter.

Congratulations to Abby and Neil.

The (two times) newlyweds are enjoying an Italian honeymoon.

Karen+Ashok

Mariann August 30th, 2008

While half the world traveled to China for the Olympic games, Karen and Ashok, a couple from Hong Kong, came to New York City to get married on 8.8.08.

We took photos at some of the classic New York City landmarks and we also stopped at some fun spots such as the Apple store on Fifth Avenue. The weather went from gorgeous and sunny to thunder and rain and back to sunshine - quite a rollercoaster.

Karen and Ashok - Congratulations and best wishes!!
