Gillian and Ryan were married at the Westin Bear Mountain Resort in August. They didn’t want to leave their guests for too long for portraits so we were on site for the whole day. I stayed with the girls before the ceremony and photographed them getting ready and Gillian was quite possibly the calmest bride, taking care of everyone else from makeup and hairdos, to making sure every last gal had a drink! After the ceremony, we hopped in a van and were driven through the bumpy back roads to the 19th hole for some bridal party and couple photos. Ryan looked pretty slick and Don Draper-esque in his suit, and Gillian’s backless dress was gorgeous. By the time we returned back to the resort, the wind had picked up and blankets were handed out for the guests dining on the patio…which made for a pretty cozy reception!

Two images from Joel and Scott’s wonderful wedding this past weekend in New York City. Happy Honeymooning!

Anita and Ken had their vow renewal at the Abkhazi Garden surrounded by family and friends from all parts of the globe. We took some photos prior to the ceremony and when we arrived at the garden, Anita changed into her gorgeous custom gown. I knew once I saw the gown that I had to somehow conjure up some wind, so I suggested we head out for some more photos after the ceremony. We went straight toward the ocean because if I’ve learned anything growing up by the sea, you can always count on a good gust of wind there! As hoped, the wind was blowing…really blowing, and freezing. Anita stood there like a trooper and then took a little break from the wind to warm up with a rest in the long grass. Only one minor mishap during the day with a broken Manolo Blahnik shoe, but the rest of the day went off without a hitch! Jenna Shouldice was with me shooting for Anita and Ken’s big day, and as always it was a treat to have her along! I’m sure she’ll have some of her images posted down the road. Congratulations again Anita and Ken!

One image from Sandra and Aaron’s wedding today as I’m downloading images. So much fun with these folks!
