First wedding of the year on a cold January day, at The Ryland Inn. What a lovely place. I absolutely love how they set up the ceremony, which seemed like 1000 candles. Both Taylor and Rob were so photogenic. It wasn’t much work, to get a great shot. And then there was Teddy. With his bow tie, ready for wedding. I love that little pup. Shout out to the photogs, Pat and Claire. It was so very easy to work with them.

As perfect wedding as it gets! Gorgeous weather, beautiful couple, that is so natural and spontaneous. Being surrounded by a family that loves you. That is apparent in the speeches, especially the dad’s. I have been working on this video for weeks. Watched it at least 30 times, and it still gets me a little, when I hear him.

December wedding from stunning Oheka Castle. It was suppose to rain, but luckily it was only foggy. I’ve got to say castles in fog are quite a fairytale. “See what I did there?”

Ese is Nigerian and Nigel is from Guyana. As you can see they changed they clothes several times, during the day, to honor their heritage. Most of the guests were from abroad, so it really felt like a destination wedding. We thoroughly enjoyed all the traditions.

This is a beautiful Indian wedding of Puja an d Rajiv. More specifically, Punjabi wedding. It was a 2 day affair. The Sangeet on Thursday and the wedding on Saturday. The program was packed with rituals and traditions. My absolutely favorite was at the end of ceremony, when Puja and Rajiv were walking out to say goodbye to their parents, as they were starting their new life together. It was very emotional.

They had absolutely gorgeous reception room design. Flowers, candles, hanging ornaments, candelabras, lights. Just stunning! Below are all the vendors involved.

A beautiful autumn wedding from Massachusetts. One thing is for sure, the best place to get married in the fall is New England. Rachel was my student back in 2012, when I was an adjunct professor at Quinnipiac. I guess she knew already then, she wanted me to make her wedding film one day. I wonder if Joshua was even in the picture then?

I have started the season with a February wedding. It was at the Battery Gardens, the tip of Manhattan Island in Battery Park, right in front Lady Liberty. Fantastic location, with amazing views with plenty of photo opportunities.
Julia was getting ready in the Wagner hotel (formally the Ritz). Again the spectacular views. Plus the famous NYC light, coming though the windows. You don’t get this anywhere else. Must be the tall building reflecting light and creating unique shadows.
We were lucky it was as perfect day for February as you can hope for, 40 and sunny. We went to the Wall street, got very cool subway shots and I love the silhouette images with the Statue.

This might be the most perfect wedding we have ever done. The whole day was really set up for us, to create the best shots we can. Everything revolved around getting the best shot, even if we had to take few extra takes. I mean, we even repeated the isle shot, after the ceremony. We wanted a smooth clean front shot of Rebecca, without a photographers in the background (obviously this isn’t possible in most of the weddings we do, hence the excitement). I absolutely loved it and wish to have every wedding like this. It was a dream!

Hamptons wedding of Marissa and Ricky. Although it’s a quite a drive, I love coming here. Well everyone does, it’s Hamptons. It was a very emotional wedding, lot of laughs and cries. Marissa’s dad, omg. You couldn’t ask for a better speech. It’s thanks to him, this film turned out the way it did. Watch it till the end!

Lord Thompson Manor is one of my most favorite places. Feels very royal and elegant, yet so charming and romantic. They have little unique and unusual order of events. The speeches happen right after ceremony concludes, on the Manor’s balcony facing the ceremony site. I kind of like it, as it is done right away. It also provided me with some really beautiful angles from inside the house, looking out. But the best thing that happened was the song Jim recorded for Emily, instead of a note. She was so surprised and emotional watching it – love it!
