Giando On The Water Brooklyn Wedding Photography - R + D

Rebecca and Danny’s Brooklyn wedding photos are on the blog! I can’t wait to deliver these photos. Each moment was very memorable, and my team and I had a great time photographing everyone. The bride and groom outdid themselves with all the little details, planning, and coordinating their special day. Their wedding day was perfect!

The day started at the Brooklyn Marriott, where everyone prepared for the day. The ladies looked elegant in black, wearing varying styles of bridesmaid dresses. The men looked dashing in Vera Wang wedding tuxes. Once we arrived at the church, we’re greeted with signs stating the wedding is an unplugged wedding. The couple wanted their guests to be in the same moment they are experiencing and have the professional New York wedding photographers, and cinematographers capture the day. As a result, everyone had eyes only for the couple. When Rebecca walked down the aisle, Danny had only eyes for her. Rebecca, in turn, had her sights set on walking down the aisle towards they happily-ever-after. Once they said their “I Do’s,” the crowd was excited to greet the new Mr and Mrs.

After a few portraits with the family, many came from across the globe, we were off to the reception held at Giando on the Water. The couple left the church in style in a classic Rolls Royce. Once we arrived at the reception venue, a beautiful sunset greeted us, providing a subtle sun-kiss glow to the bridal party. With the Williamsburg bridge and Manhattan skyline as a backdrop, we captured more portraits, showcasing the romance of the day. When the couple was introduced, they were jumping up and down with such enthusiasm that you can feel it miles away. Everyone danced, drank, was merry, and enjoyed the Photo Booth we also provided for the wedding.

I’ve been a wedding photographer for about 10 years, and have photographed weddings in New York, Hawaii, Barbados, and so many other places, but I always am honed to have been chosen to be the wedding photographer for a bride and groom to capture their special day. Because I know Rebecca and Danny more than my other couples, capturing this wedding was even more special. I wish the bride and groom the best, and cheers to many more adventures!

South Farms Connecticut Wedding Photographer - Andrea & Marty

The White Barn at South Farms in Morris, CT, was a perfect backdrop for Andrea and Marty’s classic wedding. Looking at the setup for the reception, you can see unique and modern touches throughout the rustic and chic design of the space — a beautiful contrast to how the bridal party was dressed in their classy formal dresses and suits. The bride wore a dress from Kleinfeld, and the Groom looked dapper in his Richard Canali tux. Can I say the bridesmaids also looked terrific in their sleek dark emerald Anthropologie BHLDN dresses? The floral arrangements from Flowers by Justine brought everything together, including the Groom’s boutonnières. A beautiful wedding in contrast to the many New York city weddings this New York wedding photographer usually photographs this time of year. It was a joy to capture it all!

The day started with Andrea and her ladies getting ready, all decked in matching blue floral jumpers and robes. As Andrea finished with her hair and makeup, it was time for her to put on her dress. There was a breath of sigh as her sister finished zipping the back of her dress because Andrea just looked amazing. The dress fit perfectly, and the style was perfect for her personality. As I met with the men one mile from the venue, Marty was ready for the big day. After taking photos of him getting ready, we were off to the first look. At this point, you can see butterflies in both the bride and Groom’s stomach. Marty, looking away as Andrea walks up to him, he showed signs of not being able to contain himself. Finally, he turned around and saw his bride for the first time. She was perfect, and we gave them their moment to take time and enjoy the moment.

Taking their formal portraits was a breeze, even though there barely was any breeze and it was a hot day, but these two knocked it out of the park…err farm. They, along with the entire bridal party, were naturals, and all looked like they were having fun looking like they all came out of an editorial magazine!

When the ceremony took place, it was filled with much laughter and reminiscing thanks to the Groom’s long-time friend, who also officiated the ceremony. I’ve photographed many weddings in my ten years, and it’s always fun and personal when the officiant is a friend of the couple. Once the couple said their “I Do’s” they had their first kiss as husband and wife, and walked back down the aisle, as they were showered with lavender.

The guest walked into the reception area astounded with more beautiful decor, including wood cutouts of everyone’s name as their place holder! What a great touch. The cake looked delicious, thanks to Lilian Sanderson Creations. The food was also delicious, thanks to Fingers & Forks who catered the event. All in all, the rest of the night was danced away with everyone smiling, laughing, and enjoying celebrating the bride and Groom.

Congratulations, Andrea and Marty! May your new adventures be as adventurous as meeting one another in the mountain slopes! It was an honor capturing the moments from your special day, and my team and I wish you all the very best!

xoxo

S + A Long Island New York Wedding, Westbury Manor Teasers!

I had such a pleasure being the photographer for  Sabrina and Drew's New York wedding at the Westbury Manor in Long Island! The venue had great food, and beautiful settings for photos indoor and outdoor. The garden had peacocks that were happy to have their pictures taken (I think they expected it and took offense if you didn't!), a bridge over a little river, seating area and more. A perfect place for a perfect wedding. Sabrina and Drew are not just your regular or ordinary couple. They're creative, no-nonsense bride and groom who likes to get things done. Their wedding was very touching and approximately 300 guests attended the big day to witness their matrimony. The wedding was simple, but not traditional and that's how the bride and groom wanted it. Guests arrived in droves and with so many happy faces, it was truly fun to photograph their reaction and their little moments during the wedding. One thing with being the photographer, you get to meet so many people and during weddings everyone is happy and enjoying themselves. It's always good to be surrounded with happy people! The surroundings were even more complimented by the details. I LOVE the details they had at the wedding. Wall-E and Eva as the cake topper is such a cute idea!!!! The ode to the Beatles during the ceremony was definitely a hit and very memorable. It depicted their relationship and allowed guests to really see  their history. I LOVED Sabrina's shoes and you can ask her how she came by them. Enjoy the teasers and can't wait to finish everything up!!!!

As if he's telling you that he's pretty and you better appreciate his feathers and get his good side...

Cell phones were not the only smart devices recording the wedding (in addition to The Godfather Films videography), iPads were there too and guests were happy to use them to videotape all the good details.

You already know I LOVE LOVE LOVE this! It's so perfect!

Engagement Session in New York Central Park-V&J

What a fun Engagement photography session! Love New York City in winter and any weather. It was definitely a cold day a few weeks ago, but Vanessa and Jermaine were such troopers that here we were in Central Park in New York...walking around looking like we were having fun for their engagement session...and we were! Despite the cold, these two carried on and made sure the weather didn't dampen our moods or our photo shoot! Good job guys! Here's a few teasers from the shoot! Hope to get to edit them all soon...cannot wait! The first is by a tunnel/bridge by the upper east side. We went through more areas on our way to Strawberry Field where John Lennon is memorialized with the simple work "IMAGINE." I LOVE how my August wedding couple from Staten Island did not hesitate to lay down and take the amazing shot! Actually...several shots. There were many tourists who were standing around wanting to take pictures with the famous emblem on the ground, but we were also not shy about standing our ground to make sure we were next...after all this was an engagement session and the others around us was more forgiving with our enthusiasm. As soon as we were up, off they went and there goes my bride and groom lying in concrete gazing at each other's eyes. Always wanted to do this idea for an e-shoot and finally accomplished it! Thanks V & J! You two are awesome for making this engagement shoot a smash hit. I have so much more pictures to show everyone, but have a lot of other pictures to edit first so please stay tuned and bear with me. I'm also posting pictures at my Facebook page here. Just IMAGINE all the possibilities and what the future holds for these two...cannot wait until August for their wedding in New Jersey!

We found a wooden bench at the end of The Ramble and it was such a scenic sight I had to take pics with it and have the forrest in the background. This was one of my favorite pictures because my assistant (which is also my wonderful and talented husband) was making jokes towards V& J making them laugh. Sometimes I need to tell hubby to tone it down, but sometimes he knows the right moment to make people laugh and the end result is this fun pic of V&J just happy as can be in their engagement shoot. :-).

Kardashian Kollection SEARS launch - Leibovitz Studio - by Angelica Criscuolo Photography

Kim, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian along with their mom and successful manager Kris Jenner were in Chelsea yesterday, Tuesday September 6, 2011 to launch their new clothing line in over 700+ SEARS department stores. The fashion icons came dressed in their creations and were very impressed with the design created by Celadon & Celery Events and LDC (Lex Liang Design Corporation) for the event. Guests arrived even with the pouring rain, but the weather did not halt the occasion. Ben Zion from Baked by Melissa was at the event personally providing the baked goodies from the famous mini cupcake store and the Kardashian sisters were more than happy to have a few bites of the scrumptious treats.

Ben Zion, Partner and owner of Baked By Melissa designed this arrangement for the Kardashian Kollection launch event. He was my favorite man of the night especially since he loved to give us all the cupcakes and we were more than happy to oblige. Thank you Ben!A gorgeous arrangement created by Celadon & Celery Events

As previously mentioned, the Kardashians enjoyed the treats created by Baked by Melissa! So happy I was able to take home a few :-).

Me and Kaye at the launch party... a little time off from shooting :-)

Kim's ring is gorgeous!!!! Just look at it! Owners of Celadon & Celery Events, Ivie Joy Agustin-Gonzales and Bess Wyrick posing in front of their creation.
