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.

Leslie made a customized postcard for each table with their favorite travel stories and photos.

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?

Leslie and Mike - thank you for having me be part of your wonderful day!

Enjoy Europe!!

 

 

Nicole+Adam

Mariann June 7th, 2008

Nicole and Adam are not only a great looking and fun couple but they were also great sports about weathering the June heat and the 6+ million people in Central Park.

We were seriously considering jumping into the Bethesda fountain to cool down! :) But then it would have been a whole different session!!

Two unique names, one awesome couple and one amazing wedding.

Ricci and Ferol got married in Mystic, Connecticut in a beautiful outside ceremony. Friends and family came from Israel, South Africa and all over the states for the celebration.

I love this shot because it’s just a beautiful and tender moment: Ricci was waiting patiently for her family to gather for the formal portraits and her grandmother was fixing her veil. wedding photograph

The newlyweds: wedding photograph wedding photograph wedding photograph wedding photograph

All the guests joined in to dance the hora with the couple. wedding photograph wedding photograph wedding photograph

Ricci and Ferol chose to dance the tango for their first dance and they did a fantastic job. wedding photograph wedding photograph

Instead of a traditional wedding cake, the couple opted for Benny and Jerry’s Phish food ice cream cake and they spoon fed each other. wedding photograph wedding photograph wedding photograph wedding photograph wedding photograph

Congratulations and best wishes to Ricci and Ferol!
