Kate & PJ ~ Feature Film ~ Pat’s Barn

Thursday, March 15th, 2012

Fairy tales do come true…When I first met Kate & PJ, I remember thinking “I can’t wait for this wedding”. These two were so in love and just so darn cute together. And the wedding? Even better than I expected. I arrived at the church early to set up and get some shots of people arriving and saw PJ’s limo roll up. Out comes PJ in his military uniform (awesome!). Kate slowly made her way down the aisle to PJ and they were both beaming, along with their families. During the ceremony, the priest brought up the ideas of fairy tales and happily ever after. This seemed to be a recurring theme for the rest of the night and the story of their lives together.

The reception at Pat’s Barn was perfect. They had cider and donuts on the tables as favors, yummy food upstairs and downstairs, touching toasts by Kate’s father and sister and PJ’s brother and a very emotional mother and son dance that had everyone tearing up a bit. Then came the dancing which lasted all night long. I think the dance floor was still packed right up to the last beat of the last song.

Kate & PJ - wishing you both a happily ever after!

Marie & Stephen - Mallozzi’s

Saturday, May 7th, 2011

Marie & Stephen were married last weekend on one of the most beautiful days we’ve had this year.  They said their vows at St. Francis of Assisi in Albany then headed across the street to the firehouse (Steve’s a firefighter) for some photos with the always fabulous Elario’s (check them out here). 

At the reception, the guests were treated to a humorous best man’s speech, a candy bar and dessert tables, the song stylings of Frank Giglio, a mother/daughter dance between Marie and her mom (so sweet), and a wonderfully fun bride and groom who danced the night away and made my job easy!

Fallon & JJ - Wedding Highlights

Sunday, August 8th, 2010

I have been looking forward to Fallon & JJ’s wedding for almost a year - and it was worth the wait! I knew a lot of the crowd from previous weddings and knew it would be fun, but this party was over the top.  I started at Fallon’s parents house where the girls were being made Flawless by Tina. Fallon’s princess-like dress was hanging in the newly air-conditioned living room where she showed me the charms she had sewn in her dress to remember JJ’s mom. Before we left, Fallon gave me and the photographers (Images by Moak) yummy snack bags to keep us going the rest of the day. 

The ceremony was held at the Christ the King church and was followed by the reception at the Albany Country Club (decorated by Flowers by Pesha) and pretty much filled to capacity. This was no typical reception though. Fallon & JJ entered to a cheering crowd that immediately surrounded them on the dance floor for the first song. They opened up a circle big enough for the bride and groom to share their first dance in the center of it, then settled down for the toasts. Before they could start, all the guests were given the option of toasting with the champagne at the tables, or with cans of Coors Light that the staff brought out on trays with sparklers. I think most opted for the Coors. After the toasts, things usually quiet down for dinner, but not this night. Dinner was set up as a two hour buffet so guests could go eat when they wanted too, and the party started right away. Vinny from Cool Cat provided the entertainment for the night and even had his dance team on hand to keep the crowd dancing all night long - and that they did. The night ended with sparklers on the patio and everyone singing God Bless the USA to celebrate the marriage of Fallon & JJ and the beginning of Independence Day weekend. And what a great start to both it was!

Here is Fallon & JJ’s highlight video from their July 2010 wedding. Feel free to leave comments for the happy couple!
