Crista:: Mom

Crista wears motherhood so beautifully.  I love that I got to hang out with mom and baby during his very first week of life.  What a special time to witness the bond between a mother and her child.  And he is just a picture of perfect sweetness.  What a lucky girl!

Here are a few photos from our somewhat impromptu session:

Tammy & Tony :: Anthony’s Ocean View Wedding

Tammy and Tony are a couple which I really feel blessed to know.  They are people that make you feel comfortable the minute you are in their presence, which makes working with them an absolute pleasure.  One of my most favorite moments was their “first look.”  Tammy and Tony decided to go with a first look prior to the ceremony instead of a ceremony first look.  I love being able to do these.  There is something absolutely moving about a couple sharing the excitement of a first look in a private moment.. apart from the eyes of guests and family.  Love it.

I have to give a special thanks to Rachel of www.mergeweddings.com for making the trek all the way from Boston to shoot a wedding for a couple of New Yorkers.

The first look…

Kelly & Mike :: Lily Lake Wedding

Working with Kelly and Mike has been great.  I have really had a blast getting to know this couple and being a part of such an important even in their lives.  Such an easy going couple and what I consider good people.  And it doesn’t hurt that they have an incredibly beautiful and photogenic daughter!

Another added bonus was that this wedding and reception took place at Lily Lake… both Wendi and I had a great feeling of nastolgia as we reminisced about our weddings which we both had at Lily Lake.

Here is a quick preview of my favs from their day!
