This is so great! I'm so glad you're slowly making yourself the official photographer of my marrying friends. I hope you'll get to see us doing Pharaoh Pharaoh at many more weddings to come.

Viceroy Anguilla Wedding

February 11, 2012

Kenny and Bri's wedding at the Viceroy in Anguilla was amazing.

Monique Lhuillier and Badgley Mischka... not a bad way to start the day:

Love it when the guy gets a sweet suit too... girls get all of the fun with the dress. :)

Is there a better location for a intimate ceremony?

Sick, sick shots, man.

Fantastic work, as always! I especially love that shot of the sun over the water... beautiful.

Nice work Michael. I love the west indies! Miss it. Great images, especially the light at sunset!

[March 1, 2012] Mark Richardson - Newcastle Wedding Photographer said:

You've done a great job of managing the sun in these images. Obviously what was effectively a light tent helped for the ceremony, but the backlit photos on the hillside are really well controlled. I'm guessing you weren't using any fill-flash - just exposed for the skin tones? (There's no exif on the images)

I love small and intimate weddings! Beautifully captured Michael : )

JT and Angela's New York Wedding

December 5, 2011

Angela and JT got married in Brooklyn a couple of weeks ago at ReBar, an incredible space right by the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges. It was a really fun wedding with lots of details designed by Angela. Here are a few of my favorites from the day:

Just stumbled across this set (and the blog!) and just wanted to comment on how great the group shots are. They are clearly having fun - something that isn't always easy to achieve when you're doing group shots!

Chelsea and Serge Married

November 26, 2011

Chelsea and Serge got married at the Boathouse in Prospect Park Brooklyn and had one of the most fun weddings I've ever been a part of. Serge's family is Serbian and they had a Serbian band come play during the reception. It was MADNESS. Amazing, glorious, madness. Haha. They definitely know how to party. :)

I'm leaving town in a few hours so I didn't have time to blog the whole wedding but here are some of my favorites from the portrait time.

Curt and Mandy... Married

November 13, 2011

This post is pretty special to me. Curt is one of my best friends. We were college roommates, fraternity brothers, and to this day he's as close to me as family. I got to shoot (and be a groomsman in) his wedding last month, outside Dallas. It was really amazing to see my friend, who's gone through a pretty tumultuous few years, be so incredibly happy.

Obviously since I was IN the wedding I don't have images from the ceremony, so here are a few of my favorite portraits.

Congrats Curt and Mandy. I love you guys!

The new family. 15 years after we met...

Curt's daughters... two of my favorite little girls in the world.

The images look great! I was extremely glad you could be there to shoot and infinitely more happy that you could stand next to me while I married the love of my life. You're a great brother and friend, Michael.

WOW, You have some pretty fantastic work, such inspirational work indeed.

DESTINATION WEDDING... ARUBA

November 7, 2011

Last month I shot Stephanie and Ty's wedding in Aruba and it was awesome. It was the second wedding I've shot there and, man, I'd shoot there a hundred more times. What a beautiful place. The wedding was on Renaissance Island, a small private island just off the coast of Aruba.

Here are some of my favorites...

I love that there are flamingos all over the island, so fun!

The sunsets in Aruba are just amazing...

As you might have been able to tell, it was getting pretty dark in those last few portraits of Stephanie and Ty. Luckily we had some time scheduled the next day for more portraits. We headed over to the other side of the island for some different scenery. Such amazing locations.

Danielle and Jason's New York Wedding

July 11, 2011

Danielle and Jason are one of my favorite couples... ever. I shot their wedding back in March. I was buried in work at the time and I never got a chance to post their images which is a shame because, like I said, they're one of my favorite couples.

Their wedding was here in New York on the water near the Throgs Neck Bridge at Marina Del Rey. The Throgs Neck Bridge has played a big part in their relationship so it was integrated into all of their details and since the venue was close by we decided to take their portraits by the bridge. Not the worst place to have to take pictures, haha.

Oh yeah, my friend Victor once told me that the best food you'll ever eat at a wedding is at a New York Italian wedding. He was right. :)

Is that SUNY Maritime College campus I'm seeing in the background with the bridge? It sure looks like it! Great photos!

If you are not sure about the cleanliness state of the place, best way to insure a great impression is to rely on professionals. For example end of lease cleaning Melbourne are sure to get the job done in no time, but nowadays the list of experienced cleaners is huge, so it is childs play to choose one.

Nice Wedding! I like this one.
