Vote for Your “Fav” Shoes on Brides Cafe
My friend, Janie Medley, asked me to share some of my favorite bridal shoes. Today she has featured some of them on her “ever so popular” wedding blog The Brides Cafe. You can vote for your favorite shoes. Congratulations are also in order to Janie. Her blog, The Brides Cafe was just named as one of the top wedding blogs by Instyle Magazine. For those of you who peruse the wedding blogs, The Brides Cafe should be a daily read.
The coming week will be very busy for me. I have a wedding on Saturday at a sculpture garden, an engagement portrait at a governor’s mansion on Sunday and a great commercial shoot I will be doing for a veil designer. She has designed a new line of bridal headgear for Kleinfelds Bridal. I can’t wait to share all the new images with everyone! Keep checking back!
Beautiful Choos (OOPS, I meant shoes)
Check these beautiful Vintage Jimmy Choo shoes. I’m not sure if I should call them foot jewelry or shoes! I photographed an amazing bridal portrait last week at The Saint Regis in NYC. I’ll be photographing the brides wedding in May out in the Midwest so I really can’t show you the portraits. Many of my brides want to keep their magnificent grown and details “under wraps” until their big day. I would’nt want her floating around the internet until her big day. I must say, I’m like a kid on Christmas Eve waiting for her big day! I will have so much stunning “eye candy” to photograph that weekend. For now, I’ll share with you her shoes!
Hello, Marie! How beautiful these shoes are. I can’t wait to see the bride who goes with them. 
Your work is as lovely as ever.
Catherine + Bill 03.08.08
Well, it is March in the northeast and the weather can sometimes be uncooperative. Catherine and Bill’s center city Philadelphia wedding saw a little bit of everything, from torrential rains, thunder and lightning, 40 mile an hour winds and in the end a little peep of sunshine. The exciting and unpredictable weather did not deter the warm and loving spirit of their wedding day and the couple went ahead with their plans for some center city couple pictures prior to their wedding. Catherine wore a stunning blush color gown by Lazaro. The gowns sash looked more like jewelry, so much so that I used it as a backdrop for their rings. I loved the festive striped boots that she wore for her pictures around town. One of out first stops around center city was their favorite coffee shop, La Colombe. They took a few minutes to share a cup of their favorite brew. Their ceremony was at the most beautiful Saint Patrick’s Church in Philadelphia. On the way to their reception at the Racquet Club of Philadelphia, Catherine and Bill stopped off at their Philadelphia row home for a few quick pictures since the rain finally subsided! I truly believe that a wedding is not about the weather, it’s about the love.
Kristina + Peter 03.02.08 (Part 2)
As promised, here are a few more images from the ceremony and reception of Kristina and Peters wedding. Their ceremony was at Saint Lucy’s Church in Newark, NJ. A very historic church, it served as a beautiful backdrop for their ceremony! Peter got teary-eyed when he saw Kristina for the first time coming down the aisle. Their reception was held at the Westmount Country Club in West Patterson, NJ. I loved their centerpieces of hanging orchids.
WPJA Photo Contest Winning Image
The results for the WPJA Q4 2007 photo contest have just been announced and an image I entered from Jennifer + Nicks New Years Eve Wedding at the Pleasantdale Château won in the Reception category. This marked my 5th win in 2007 in this prestigious competition. The Wedding Photojournalists Association is a professional organization composed of wedding photojournalists from around the world. I feel incredibly honored to have placed among some of the best photojournalists around the world.
Kristina + Peter 03.02.08 (Part 1)
It’s been two months since I photographed my last wedding, my longest gap in 3 years! I was so ready and Kristina and Peter gave me such a truly amazing event to document! There was so much “eye candy” for my camera I really have to do two posts to show you everything. Tomorrow I’ll put up some of their ceremony and reception pictures. Let me just say Kristina had some amazing details. Her Atelier Aimee gown was a true work of art! She combined it with 5″ Christian Louboutin shoes! My hats off to any woman that can walk in 5″ heals and Kristina did so with such grace and ease. She had 2 beautiful head pieces custom made by Leah C. Couture Millinery and lets not forget the Prada bag! I want to go shopping with Kristina! Following their ceremony the couple went to Lambert Castle where the light is always perfect for artful images. Check back tomorrow where I’ll share a little of their ceremony and reception which was equally beautiful!
