I know I've gone through a dry spell of blogging lately. I'm going to try to be better at keeping my blog updated though! I'm going to create a series of post geared at showing brides different products and services I offer and give them a little insight on how we do things around here. First up...Album Designs!
Currently all of our albums are custom designed In-house. We try to keep the layouts on these as simple and modern as possible, choosing to highlight the images over lots of clutter and faded backgrounds that may look dated in a few years. My thought is that your album should look and feel timeless! That's why we keep the designs as simple and elegant as possible in a way that uniquely tells your story!
Check out a design below from Shelly & Paul's wedding below. They had an amazing event at Hotel Derek!

Allison and Richard had an elegant daytime wedding at Rockefellar Hall last month. I really loved the details Allison put into her wedding and the parasols were awesome! It definitely adds another element to the portraits...I hope after seeing these some of my current brides go out and get some ;) Big thanks to my assistant shooter Troy Covey for helping me with this one...check out a few of my favorites from their day!

One of the things I'm going to try to do in 2010 is to blog more of my weddings. I've been pretty good at blogging engagement and bridal sessions but I need to get more actual weddings up on this blog. So to start off, we have Shelly and Paul.
Shelly and Paul got married back in November at Hotel Derek. If you'd like to see a few images from their engagement session, click here. This was my first time photographing at this venue it was a lot of fun. It has a really cool contemporary look inside and I think it went well with Shelly's style. I'm looking forward to working there again soon!
It was a great night. It seemed like everyone had a good time and the wedding party was out on the dance floor the whole night. Paul really loves old school hip-hop and Ceasar from LG Entertainment played it for half the night! It was awesome, they even started a soul train line and I almost got in myself! Such a fun group....check out the images.
