Cori and Daryan Wedding

Kelly and Tom's Wedding

Going to a wedding and seeing people that I've photographed in the past is always fun. It was great to see the Reynolds family once again... Two years ago I photographed Christina and Peter (Tom's sister) wedding.

The O'Connells were there too... featured on this past father's day photos with little Kevin.

We had a wonderful day with everyone.
It was supposed to rain, but it held up all afternoon and gave us a chance to do some fun photos at the promenade near the Verazano bridge.

Halloween Costume Contest 2009

More details to come soon.... contest rules, schedule and prizes.

Divya and Sanjay Wedding at The Hildene, VT

It was the second time this year that we went to Manchester, VT to photograph a wedding. They were both at the The Hildene, located in a great location surrounded by beautiful hills.
Divya and Sanjay had an entire week of festivities for their wedding; of which we were present for the last two days; what can I say... a wedding full of color and flavor.

Indian ceremonies are one of my favorite ones. You can always feel the connection between the couple and the environment... there is fire, grains, spices, water....

The tent where the reception took place... The entire day was looking like it was going to rain and all of a sudden right before sunset the skies opened up!!
