May love be like good wine, growing stronger as it grows older. Tara & Jonathan!

September 8, 2010

Tara & Jonathan got married at Gervasi Vineyard in Canton, Ohio. On the day preceding the wedding Ohio welcomed Nadine (my fantastic second shooter) and myself with balmy weather, lovely selection of wine and gourmet food (we couldn't help but wine & dine at Gervasi's), dragonflies and lame comedy on demand back at our hotel. 
Wedding day was like a dream- flowing organically, filled with music performed by T & J's talented friends. Candle lit lakeside reception was as perfect as August nights can be, summer breeze, willow trees and silver moonlight.
Tara & Jonathan- thank you for having us, we loved your day & our little traveling adventure!

A fantastic fete of earthly delights, Lisette & Paulo!

August 19, 2010

 Lisette & Paulo's Hudson NY deliciously smashing wedding was studded with so many sweet personal details! Check out the rustic horse barn venue, photo wall adorned with polaroid pics of guests, funky sitting lounge, barrel of wine made by the Groom, Portuguese delicacies, exquisite florals. Now, close your eyes and imagine arid & balmy smell of summer hay, melodious chirping of crickets, and, later- a gigantic starry sky. We delighted in every moment of documenting all that beautiful madness.

Wedding planning & designed by awesome Charmed Places 
Nadine was my talented & fun partner in crime : )
Last but not least, FANTASTIC florals by Steven Bruce Design ... !

Amor tussique non caelatur: neither love nor a cough can be concealed. Jeannette & Chris!

August 13, 2010

The wedding of Jeannette & Chris was a whirlwind of fun, touching, magical and inspirational moments! We began at the hotel where they had a first 'meeting', followed by a great shoot on the streets of Philadelphia (including their favorite comedy club Helium) , and then their ceremony and reception in Bucks County. These two were absolutely amazing. No wonder they have so many great friends & family who cherish them- the 'love' in this wedding was in the air ! Thank you J & C- we love you!
: )
Also- big thank you to my fave Nadine Rovner for teaming up with me!
