Erin & Chris - Wedding Highlights

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

“I will always be Daddy’s Little Girl” - that’s what was embroidered on the personalized hanky Erin gave her father before her wedding, and if it wasn’t so nice, they both could have used it at that moment. This was after Chris already made Erin tear up by sending her a gift while she was getting ready - diamond earrings that she always wanted. Way to go Chris!

So, that’s how the day started. Pretty good so far. Then Chris does it again (guys take note). When Erin starts to get a little misty-eyed during the vows, he has tissues ready so she can wipe away those tears.  I think that actually made her tear up a little more - all happy tears though. Anyway, after the ceremony, the bridal party headed to the Rose Garden at Central Park for some photos, then hopped into a Jaguar limousine to make their way to the party at Mallozzi’s.

During their first dance, Erin & Chris provided a little entertainment for the crowd - some spinning, some dipping and even some sliding around the dance floor. That got the party started and Erin made sure she kept going, dancing all night and at times pulling people up on the dance floor to have some fun. There was an 85 year old aunt leading the electric slide, and even Erin’s cousins, who claim they don’t dance, got up and busted a move or two. The night ended with a big group hug (once they got the hang of it) and a photo of the bride and groom with all their family and friends.  It was a great night and we were so happy to be a part of it.

Maegan & Aaron - Wedding Highlights

Saturday, June 5th, 2010

She knew this was the place she wanted to get married at, even before she was engaged.  It was a beautiful Spring day at the Mohawk River Country Club and Maegan planned her whole day there - from getting ready in the bridal suite, to an outdoor ceremony by the gazebo, to a perfectly pink reception. 

As Aaron waited with his groomsmen, which included his son Shawn, Maegan walked down the aisle with two men - her father and her and Aaron’s little man, Mason.  As Maegan’s father placed her hand in Aaron’s, he instructed him to “Take care of my baby”.  Aaron promised he would.

The ceremony was short and sweet which left plenty of time for pictures and mingling with guests at the cocktail hour, which is definitely a place you want to be at here because the food is amazing.  The reception followed and Maegan and Aaron entered the room and shared their first dance as husband and wife.  Their son Mason soon joined mom and dad on the dance floor as they all started their new life together.

Maegan & Aaron - thanks for letting us be a part of your day, and as Mason would say, “Mwahhhh!”  :)

Joely & David - Wedding Highlights

Friday, May 28th, 2010

Joely & David met in college - she was from the capital region and he was from Long Island.  After they graduated they stayed together and maintained a long distance relationship until Joely decided to pack up her things and move to Long Island…and the rest is history. 

On May 1st, Joely & David were married.  They decided to do a “first look” and their formal photos before the ceremony and brought in Joe & JP Elario to capture the moments (check out the photos here).  It was so hot that day - like 85 degrees - which seems like nothing after this weeks weather, but it was very hot for a few weeks ago.  After the photos the bridal party headed inside to cool down, relax and cheer on their favorite horses in the Kentucky Derby.  The ceremony soon followed and before we knew it the couple was being introduced as husband and wife to all their family and friends by the fabulous New York Players.  It was a great beginning to an amazing party that lasted until the wee hours of the morning.  Congratulations Joely & David!

Lea & Nicholas - Bride Preparations

Monday, April 26th, 2010

Thought I’d share another bride preparations clip (it’s been a while since I posted one).  This one is from Lea & Nick’s wedding back in February.  When I got there, the hair stylists and make up artists were busy at work and Lea just was as calm as could be.  Then the flowers were delivered, along with a gift from Nick for his new bride, and the excitement started to build.  Soon the photographer arrived, Lea’s make up was finished and we went from 0-10 in an instant - that’s how it usually goes.   

Check out the special appearances in this video by Tina from Flawless by Tina, photographer Dino Petrocelli and one of my 2009 brides, Erica.

Promotional Video: Inspired Occasions - Wedding & Event Planning

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010

I recently had the pleasure of putting together a promotional video for Taia Younis, wedding & event planner and owner of Inspired Occasions.  I have had the pleasure of working with Taia a couple of times now and have been impressed each time with her creative ideas, her attention to detail and the level of service she provides to her clients as well as the vendors she works with.  Taia offers complimentary initial consultations so you can get to know her and figure out what package is right for you. But be prepared, after that conversation you won’t want to plan your wedding or event with out her - actually once you watch the video you’ll probably feel the same way. Enjoy!

If you are looking for a promotional video for your business, please contact me to discuss.
