Kristen & Bryan’s Wedding – Falkirk Estate, Central Valley, NY

kim — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 02:28:10 +0000

Kristen and Bryan were married on a gorgeous July day at the beautiful Falkirk Estate and Country Club. You might remember them from their engagement photos, which I had such a great time shooting! Their wedding was relaxed and fun, but also super elegant. The beautiful flowers were by Weddings by David Anthony. Kristen wore a fabulous Private Label by G dress, which looked just as amazing from the back when she had it bustled. For me, one of the highlights of the evening was when DJ Gaza busted out some Rancid and the crowd started skankin’ it up I’d expect nothing less from a groom with a website called Ska Punk Photos!

I was also really excited to give my new photobooth a whirl. Check out a few of the photos at the bottom of this post

We had a near-disaster on the way to the venue… the limo literally fell off the road! Luckily a nice neighbor came to the rescue and everything turned out OK!

Bryan and Kristen had a huge dessert table set up by Falkirk Estate, and it was amazing. In addition to the pastries, they also had a Belgian waffle station, gelato, sorbet and about eight different cakes! Yum

Yes, that is the groom’s twin brother

The food was so delicious, the chefs got a round of applause when they came out at a guest’s request

The photobooth I brought along seemed to be a hit… here’s a little slideshow of some of the fun photobooth shots!

Congrats again, Bryan and Kristen! Your wedding was such a blast and I wish you guys all the best!

Cheers,
Kim

Lisa & Bobby’s Wedding – Patriot Hills, Stony Point, NY

I had a wonderful time at Lisa and Bobby’s wedding! The Patriot Hills country club provided a gorgeous background to both their ceremony and reception. My favorite detail of the wedding had to be the centerpieces in the reception room. Lisa and Bobby actually created a useful centerpiece — they had a big bowl of candy at each table, and for the favors each guest had a little takeaway box to fill with the candy. Genius

Congratulations, Lisa and Bobby! Wishing you all the best!!

I had such a fun and crazy time at Michelle and Mike’s wedding! I have never seen anything like the EPIC cake fight that they had No holds barred! (Check out the second to last image… yes, that is the top tier of the cake about to be smashed!!) They also had a massive dessert table with desserts from Ferrara, and also a yummy-looking chocolate fountain to top it all off. Here is a quick peek at a few of my favorites

Erin and Jimmy’s wedding was such a wonderful and fun event! I think the highlight had to be when the FDNY Emerald Society invaded the dance floor and took over the party (see the last photo) It was pretty amazing! Lauren of loli events did a fantastic job making everything perfect on the day. Here’s a sneak peek of a few of my favorites!

Tish & Marty Wedding – Sneak Peek

I was so happy to be a part of Tish & Marty’s downtown Manhattan wedding! They were married in a beautiful ceremony at old St. Patrick’s Cathedral, but the party really started when they rode over to their reception (at Astor Center) in style in a vintage Caddy. It was such a fun celebration, and here are a few of my favorite images from the day

Christine and Brian are Married!

I had the pleasure of traveling out to Fire Island a couple of weeks ago for Christine and Brian’s lovely and intimate wedding on the beach. The ceremony, conducted by Pastor Mike, was beautiful and it was such an honor to be part of their celebration!

The puppy of honor So cute!

Christine and her dad walked down the “aisle” together and down to meet the other guests.

Only 12 guests, the pastor and me were there! They decided to limit the guest list to close family only.

After the ceremony, Christine, Brian and I went off to walk along the beach for a while. Brian’s pants didn’t fare so well in the waves

As we were walking over to the restaurant where everyone ate dinner, we stumbled across a band playing a public concert. The happy couple did a very sweet first dance

Their wedding was my first time on Fire Island, and I can’t wait to go back! It’s such a beautiful and fun place, since there are no cars and everyone is relaxing and enjoying the beachy atmosphere. Thanks again to Christine and Brian for having me along, and congratulations!!
