It was a great surprise for me when Kami walked up to my booth at the January Bridal Showcase. Kami and Adam had already booked with me and she just wanted to come by and chat.

I was very excited when the wedding came close. The Providence Country Club, perfect weather, flowers by Crawford & Company, music by Split Second Sound … And it turned out that the bridal party – the girls and the guys – were tons of fun!

I love to let the guys be guys and always look for ways to tell them to be … well … guys! Well, I didn’t have to tell these boys! Adam was totally The Man! The stakes were high now but the girls did good as well. And Tami’s dress was just breathtaking.

Right before the processional the best man’s heel broke off and we had to duct tape it. (Always have duct tape and a lint roller in the photo bag!)

When Tami came down the big staircase to made her way towards Adam, everybody was “ooh” and “aah”, she was so beautiful and radiating.

The best man’s heel got duct taped even better and the party was ready to start …

These two were so inspiring! No place was too crazy, no alleyway too shabby. They always giggled and you wouldn’t expect how sensual they can also be! And we were amazed how far we made it – in complete contrast to the usual sessions where we get stuck because we see so much cool stuff everywhere …

Do you remember Jessica and Mike? Yes, they are the super gorgeous couple we photographed for their engagement session in Manhattan last June. And now it finally was the day of their wedding!

And I can tell you: it was awesome. New Jersey style, with all the bells and whistles. Mike looked sharp and Jessica was just plain stunning. I started with the guys getting ready at their hotel, and the flasks the groomsmen got as presents were way cool: they came with a little funnel! Of course this had to be tested – along with some flavor testing ;-)

If you want to know what was going on with the girls getting ready, check out Critsey’s blog, she covered the ladies.

After the ceremony at St. Lucy’s in Newark, NJ we went to Lambert Castle in Paterson, NJ. Mike had booked the whole interior for the afternoon to get great shots. Way to go Mike!

The reception was at the (“One and Only”) Westmount Country Club which is plain gorgeous. Please excuse the plethora of food shots, but what would be a NJ wedding without all the food? And yes, flamed sweets. Oh, and check out the live and freshly made Mozzarella. This so made my day!

Mike topped it off with the coolest garter grab we have ever seen. While he was rummaging under Jessica’s dress, what he pulled out was not a garter, but … a cigarette. That rocks.

Jessica and Mike love photography and they were game for anything we did. This was definitely one of  our best weddings in 2009. And now for the pictures!

Happy Anniversary Jessica & Bryan!

Today is the couple’s 1st anniversary and their wedding was truly memorable. Not only are the two so adorable, but they are also fun, fun, fun!
Their ceremony was at the Fountain of Life Lutheran Church in Kernersville, NC and the reception at the Magnolia Manor in Greensboro, NC.

All the best to the two of you and a wonderful year #2!

It has been a while that I traveled across the Atlantic Ocean for a wedding. This time it’s going the other way: I will be in Munich, Germany for Werner and Alice’s wedding.
The two want lots of pictures showing the beautiful places, so get ready to see some great stuff from Good Old Germany!

Of course we will also take the opportunity to visit friends and family and then Critsey will head on to London and Paris for her Couture Boudoir Tour (I’m jealous!).
For me it’s back to the USA on June 11 for Kami and Adam’s wedding that I am really looking forward to.
