Suzanne & Brian ~ Feature Film ~ Saratoga National

Wednesday, January 18th, 2012

Suzanne & Brian were married on a beautiful day back in September at Saratoga National. After the very personal and touching ceremony (performed by Suzanne’s aunt) I overheard the following during their photoshoot with JP Elario:

JP: “Take it all in Brian.”
Brian: “I’m trying…making sure I can remember it all.”

I loved this exchange, because really, the day goes by so fast that you really need to make yourself take the time to soak it all in. You could see Suzanne & Brian doing this though out the day - from their first look, to the glances at each other during the ceremony, to their complete attention to each other during their photos and their first dance.

Suzanne & Brian put their personal touches on everything, including the centerpieces, which they made themselves and were so cool (candles and vases filled with candy in the colors of the bridesmaids flowers), the programs that Suzanne designed herself, and the cake, or lack of - they had make-your-own ice cream sundaes instead. Loved that!

Highlights from Suzanne & Brian’s wedding film…

Tiffany & Christopher ~ Feature Film ~ Franklin Plaza

Sunday, January 8th, 2012

9/10/11 - probably the most popular day to get married last year. Tiffany locked in the date early so I had the honor of spending the day with her and Chris and their crazy bridal party.

I met up with Tiffany at the hotel where she and her girls were getting ready. After some shots, some “that’s what she said” jokes and a minor jewelry crisis, we headed across the street for Tiffany & Chris’ first look. From there we made our way to the church where Chris and (a slightly emotional) Tiffany exchanged vows and became husband and wife.

Back at the Franklin Plaza the bridal party danced their way into the room and set the stage for an awesome introduction of the newlyweds. Everyone in the place joined them on the dance floor for a fun first dance, then made a big circle around them for their first slow dance together. DJ Vinny from Cool Cat kept the music pumping and the dance floor packed - and at one point even assisted with a plot to “ice” the bride and groom. What a great night!

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.

Trish & Rick ~ Feature Film ~ Sagamore

Sunday, December 11th, 2011

Trish and Rick live near New York City, and on the day Hurricane Irene made landfall there, they got married. Luckily, they and all their guests were safe and sound enjoying the beautiful weather at the Sagamore on Lake George.

When I arrived that morning, Trish and her girls were getting ready in the bridal suite with the TV on, keeping an eye on the weather reports.  Trish was calm as could be - until her dad got emotional and the tears started flowing.  She quickly regained her composure and made her way down the long, long aisle to where Rick was waiting for her. With Lake George as their backdrop, they made it official then headed up the hill for pictures and their party.

In the tent, Lindsay Landman (their designer/planner) was making sure nothing was overlooked.  The room was absolutely gorgeous, and Trish & Rick had the best seats in the house - front and center by the dance floor so they could be right next to the action and the toasts.  I must add that the best man’s toast, which I have watched somewhere in the double digits now, still makes me laugh every time I see it.

The rest of the night was a non-stop party, which included jumping rope, the robot, a surprise fireworks display and the three man wolf pack ending the night up on stage with the band.

Here is Trish & Rick’s feature film from their August 2011 wedding.  Enjoy and feel free to leave comments for the happy couple!

Nicole & Nick ~ Feature Film ~ Canfield Casino

Monday, November 28th, 2011

When I found out Nicole and Nick were finally engaged, I immediately blocked their date on my calendar. They hadn’t called me yet, but there was no way I was going to miss this wedding when they did call. I have fallen in love with this crowd (there were 6 CASL brides there) - plus, they throw the.best.parties!  And to top it all off, this was Nicole & Nick’s 42nd wedding together - yes, 42nd.

I met up with Nicole at her parent’s house where I got to meet Cruz, their dog, in his adorable Ringbearer shirt. Nicole was ready to go. Hair done. Make-up done. When she finally got dressed, I think everyone in the room was tearing up, except Nicole - she kept her cool the whole time. As soon as everyone was ready, we headed outside with our good friends, Joe & JP Elario for some photos. Of course, it decided to rain right about then - good thing those two are quick.

At the church, Nick continued a family tradition and walked his mother down the aisle (loved that!), then he and Nicole made #42 official.  It rained again between the ceremony & reception, but cleared up just enough for some photos of the two of them outside. Inside the bridal party got the party started with the intros and kept it going the rest of the night - such a great time - and wait until you see what Nicole did for the father daughter dance. So sweet! I even got a picture with all my brides that were there (love them!).  

Here is Nicole & Nick’s feature film.  Enjoy - and feel free to leave comments for the happy couple!
