Amanda & Kevin ~ Feature Film ~ Mallozzi’s

Monday, January 2nd, 2012

On a gorgeous September day, I arrived at Amanda’s parents house where she and her bridesmaids were getting ready. They had the music pumping and were all excited about the big day ahead. Kevin sent over some gifts for his bride to be, including a new ring for her to wear as her something blue. So sweet! After a minor wardrobe malfunction, Amanda got laced into her dress and added the finishing touch - the veil, which was the same veil her mother wore at her wedding.

The ceremony took place at St. Augustine’s where Amanda & Kevin made it official, then we headed to Sage for some photos with our faves from Joe Elario Photography. We had extra time in between the ceremony and reception which was awesome so they could spend as much time as they wanted on photos and still make it to the reception in time for cocktail hour.

As the bridal party was introduced, they each did something fun and when Amanda and Kevin made their grand entrance, they turned up the volume and started the party right then.  In between dancing and hamming it up at the Elario photobooth, they and their guests partied the night away.

Here is Amanda & Kevin’s feature film from their September 2011 wedding. Enjoy - and feel free to leave comments for the happy couple!

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!

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.

Kyle & Luis - Wedding Highlights

Friday, June 5th, 2009

What an amazing couple! I knew this wedding would be special when I stopped by the rehearsal at St. Anthony’s in Schenectady the night before and the bridesmaids were already crying as they practiced walking down the aisle. Sure enough, on the wedding day, the tears flowed again – this time Luis and his brother/best man, Augustine, were caught up in it too. At the end of the reception, Kyle’s cousin Kevin made a touching speech in which he referenced the ceremony and said “I’ve never seen love like that” – I think I’d have to agree with him.

After the ceremony, the bridal party hopped on a trolley and headed to the reception which was held upstairs at Mallozzi’s. DJ Jim Diaz from Cool Cat Entertainment got the party rolling and kept the music playing and the dance floor moving. Actually I think it was Kyle & Luis that really kept the dance floor moving – they were out there all night. Their photographer was Joe Parillo, who managed to keep shooting even though the Yankees lost that night :) .

Luis’ parents are in Mexico and couldn’t make it to the wedding, but with the video they’ll be able to witness the day as it happened and the love that was so evident between Kyle & Luis.

Kyle & Luis – Thanks for letting us share in your wedding day!

Feel free to leave comments for the happy couple.  Enjoy!
