Sabrina & Khaled - April 15, 2007

Rainy day of the year hits New Jersey on Sabrina and Kay's wedding day... and so what I say ! When your bride is this gorgeous, rain doesn't really matter !



I wanted to start this post with a strong image :) but here's one that I like from Sabrina's getting ready time:



..and another portrait of the bride, who kept her spirits up all day even though she knew there was no chance for any outside photos that day:



The uncooperating weather didn't really stop us from getting great photographs. Here's a portrait of the couple captured right after the ceremony:



Going back to the ceremony:









Oh, yes ! There was rose petal throwing !



The reception was even better in terms of great photo opportunities, two "Joe Buissink" moments:





One of the night's attractions was a fantastic belly dancer's performance:



Sabrina and Kay - Thank You for the most amazing rainy day wedding ever !!!

Samantha and Lou - April 14, 2007

From beginning to end Samantha and Lou's wedding day felt just great ! Relaxed, happy atmosphere and things happening at their natural order, yet nobody was late and everything worked out just the way it was supposed to ! How amazing ! Let's start showing images, first - the bride getting ready to wear her wedding dress:



...and then a detail of the final adjustments:



Samantha:







Watch out, some brides have the ability to show their wild side !



Just kidding ! It was a special request ! Samantha couldn't be a better bride to work with ! Easy going and really making the photographer's job easy throughout the entire day:



On the other hand, Lou was just as entertaining and happy:



This photo taken by Robin Roemer, who joined me as a team member for this wedding !
Here's another one of hers:



A few captures from the ceremony:









When the time came for the couple's session Samantha and Lou were just having lotd of fun, giving us an opportunity to record great photos:













The delicious cake:



As a closing image, one more of Robin's fantastic captures, the couple during the first dance:



Samantha and Lou - Thank You for everything ! We couldn't possibly enjoy photographing your wedding more !

Valarie and Scott - March 25, 2007

The first wedding of 2007 season brings a bride to my blog that was nothing but fun ! Valarie - what can I say - you rock !!! Your wedding was a great experience and I was happy to be a part of it.



My favorite portrait of the bride:



...and one more:



During a wedding day you never know where your competition is hiding. Sometimes a photo session can be arranged by a hair artist:



...which may confuse the bridesmaids:



Can you have a great looking portrait in a hotel hallway ?





Valarie:



My reinforcement and team partner for this wedding shoot was my friend Robin Roemer, she captured these shots of Scott and his wedding party getting ready:





Valarie in company of her mother and her brother, on the way to the ceremony:



Emotions during the exchange of the vows:



A few images from the couple's session, starting with one by Robin:









Did I mention Valarie was a fun bride ? Bridal shoes may get uncomfortable after a while...



One image from the first dance:



...and a closing hug from the best friend:



Valarie and Scott - Thank You for a great start of the season ! Both me and Robin had a great time working with you ! Can't wait to start working on the album !
