Hawaii Day After Session

One of the amazing experiences that I had in Oahu was a day after session with Katie and Brady. At sunset we were in an outrigger canoe in big surf just off the beach in Waikiki. It was surreal and profoundly beautiful! More coming soon.

Vera Wang Gowns, Gorgeous Models and Ghost Towns-Oh My!

Earlier this month I was in Vegas shooting an incredible two day wedding. We’ll be blogging about that soon enough, including Simply Weddings by Brit Bertino and an upcoming super cool photo giveaway. I spent my last day in Nevada shooting in a ghost town with our gorgeous model Janay Oakland from Mrs. Events and an amazing Vera Wang Bridal Gown courtesy of my friends Dawn and Annette at Couture Bride. Located just off the strip in Vegas they are the first and only full service bridal salon in the Las Vegas area. This lovely boutique is the exclusive retailer for Vera Wang, Caroline Herrera, Oscar de la Renta, Monique Lhuillier, Elizabeth Fillmore, Ulla Maija and Platinum Collection. Enough fabulous designers to make any bride giddy! I can’t wait to go back but here is a sneak peek from some of our session in the dessert.

Speaking of Contests-It’s Time for PDN’s “Top Knots”

While hosting a contest of my own, I’ve also entered one. PDN’s Top Knots contest is always amazing and gets entries from around the globe. You could spend the day looking at their peoples choice section to see thousands of entries. So many beautiful bridal images in gorgeous locations, shot by some of the most amazing talent. I find it very inspiring. So go ahead and place your votes for me, you know you want to! http://bit.ly/7qhFoT These are some of my favorite images from this Summer that have been reworked a bit. I have one more wedding this year, and then I will have to put together a “Best of 2009″ slide show. I can’t wait to see what 2010 brings!

Buttonwood Farm Day After Shoot

I’ve been without internet service for the last couple of days. Wow, soooo frustrating. I actually have to be grateful as it allowed me the time to finish some images that I’ve had in the wings. Where do you start with Buttonwood Farm. Well, I’ve been trying to get to this place for two years and for various reasons have missed it. Buttonwood Farm in Griswold is almost in Rhode Island. It is 10 acres of sunflowers surrounded by gorgeous farmland and a fresh ice cream stand that is the best I’ve found south of Maine. Every year they sponsor a fund raising event, “Sunflowers for Wishes”. They sell bouquets of flowers for $5.00, (a bargain if you’ve seen them for sale in NYC) and all of the proceeds from the sales of flowers during this week go directly to the Make-a-Wish foundation. Pretty fabulous in it’s own right but be there to take in the view and it’s simply stunning. Arlene is a gorgeous bride from one of my weddings earlier this season and I was thrilled to do a day after session with her at the farm. Kudos to her adorable husband Sam who helped us in every imaginable way. The shots with the Harley are Sam’s doing. He simply asked the couple riding if we could pose with the bike. Then I heard that Sam actually sold his bike in order to buy Arlene her engagement ring. I already liked him, now he’s a super star!

Sam gets a kiss and a triple scoop of ice cream for holding reflectors, being water boy, picking bugs out of Arlene’s dress and keeping us all cool with a beach umbrella in between shots. What a great way to spend a day, thank you Arlene and Sam!

Day After Shoot with Arlene-Wow!

Here is just a sneak peak from this session because it is simply to amazing for me to rush and I have other obligations before I can fully work it. All I can say is Wow!
