Charlotte & Matt - May 27, 2007

Another MAD shoot ! Monika posted a slideshow of this wedding on her website, which I encourage you to see, My Dear Readers :) it's a gorgeous presentation of the images we captured together. Still, I cannot resist posting a few of my favorites here ! Starting from the getting ready time of the guys:

This image is from the couple's session that we photographed on location, at the ceremony and reception site:



I had a chance to shoot a few more images of the guys right before the ceremony:





Rings exchange (Monika's image):



My favorite image of the day:



As we moved into the reception we were stunned by all the gorgeous details:









During the toasts and speeches:



...Monika captured a very happy, real moment between the couple:



Heavy and sudden rain made everybody move inside the building where the band was ready to go and delivered a fantastic performance:



...and so the night ended with a solid dose of dancing:

Molly & Rick - May 12, 2007

Photographing a wedding with Monika is always a good adventure. Not only do I get to work with a extremely talented artist but also get a chance to record images of fabulous locations and subjects for my portfolio. I'd like to start telling the story of Molly and Rick's wedding day with Monika's detail image:



...and two more of her moody images of the bride gettting ready:





two of mine:





At that time Rick was almost ready to go:



...and the maid of honor was adding last corrections to her speech:



Monika created this portrait of Molly:



Weddings are about details:



...and Molly and Rick's wedding interesting details were in abundance:











In such beatifully decorated enviorment the time came for Molly and Rick to cite their vows:





...and after the ceremony for us to photograph the couple in a more intimate setting, Monika's image:



and mine:



The rest of the day was spent on dances and fun... and I was happy to be there ! Molly and Rick - you were very rewarding subjects ! Monika - Thank You for taking me onboard !

Eileen & David - May 5, 2007

My day with Eileen started at a hair salon:



where the excellent hair stylist Vincent was being both professional and very caring:



...and the bridesmaids were having much fun talking on the phone to the groomsmen:



The bride seconds before leaving the saloon:



In the meantime, my second shooter Violetta was photographing the guys:



...as they were... having the bestest time before the ceremony:





The groom however was on top of things and made sure nothing and nobody were late:



During the ceremony:







Married:



Time to have some fun with the bridal party:



Kiss the groom !



"Honey ! Look at me ! We're having our photo taken !" :)



Violetta's shot taken almost the same moment:



From the interesting architecture of West Point we moved to the reception hall, where the room was ready for the party:



The first dance:



I love working with low light and capturing the natural ambiance of reception rooms, especially during parent dances:





Eileen and David - thank you for the West Point adventure ! It was a pleasure !
