Molly Pitcher Inn

Red Bank, NJ

July 13, 2008

Julia & Ilya's big day took place at The Molly Pitcher Inn in Red Bank NJ. Red bank is always something special to me because it's where I pretty much learned
my art from Danny Sanchez. He is one of the best in Red Bank and anywhere else. Kind of feels like going back to where it all began.

It was a beautiful day for a wedding. They were married out on the deck overlooking the Navasink River. Afterwards it was a rockin' party with lots o' dancing.
My friend Mitch from Reisbord Video was the videographer. Thanks for a great day guys.

Throughout history there have always been dynamic duos. Batman had Robin, Lone Ranger had Tonto, Springsteen had Clarence, I have Drew. My trusty assistant. Here's my props to him. His weekly mugshot.

Abandoned Train
July 3, 2008

So I'm starting to offer my couples "day after" shoots for those that want to get "dressed" back up. I photographed Adrienne & Drew's wedding quite some time ago.( I won't embarrass them with the fact that their wedding was over 3 years ago and they waited all this time to do their book) :)
They just recently came to me to do their album and I mentioned the "day after" idea and they said they were into it. So over the July 4th holiday we picked a day and went out and had some fun. We found an abandoned train on a road disregarding the no trespassing sign and got some great shots. We didn't even have to "trash the dress".
Adrienne is a huge Gwar fan and wouldn't you know it, the "other" Gwar fan graffitied the wall so we of course had to take a rock shot!
I also want to give a big thanks to Georgianne of Monday Morning Flower and balloon company for putting the bouquet of flowers together for us. She and I have been working weddings together for years and she's definitely one of the best florists out there. Enjoy the pics,

NJ field & Studio

I photographed Carla & Jims wedding last August and Carla was up for some "day after" shots. I actually did this shoot back in April but slacked on posting it. Check out the shot Drew took of me photographing Carla. Gives a little idea of the lighting. That's how you get those punchy colors in the photos. The second shot of Carla is one of my all time favorites. I love the way the light is falling on her face and the sun is poking through her arm. You can't see it but I'm actually laying about 2 feet from a decaying deer. Ah yes, good times in New Jersey. Thanks to Carla for being up for some different shots and also for tons o' referrals.

The Osborn Castle
Garrison, NY

Brett and Adams wedding took place at one of the most amazing estates I've ever photographed. The Osborn Castle in Garrison New York. It sits on over 100 acres of mountains and woods with views of the Hudson Valley and New York City in the distance. The day started a little warm with some rain here and there but once again it did not get in the way of the outdoor ceremony or the photos. Brett is a school teacher in NY and Adam works at great magazine called "Heeb". Check it out. Bretts flowers were designed by her friend Denise Fasanello who came in from Brooklyn. Thanks to Hank at the castle for letting us photograph in and out of the site; to Scott from NYLA Studios Cinematography and to Brett and Adam for being two awesome people to photograph. We had a great time! Check out the slide show below!
