After shooting  a 9 hour wedding for us on saturday night at Blue Hill at Stone Barns in Westchester, Ron grabbed 3 hours of sleep and heading off to his next day’s assignment – shoot the New York Giants at the Superbowl for his “other job”, the new york daily news.  Was he phased?  Here’s his Daily News covershot of the New York Giant’s quarterback Eli Manning.

The Metropolitan Club is one of the grandest spaces of old New York.  The club was founded by JP Morgan (supposedly because, as a member of the nouveau riche, he was not accepted as a member to the other proper gentleman’s clubs of that day… so he figured he’d build his own).  Even though it is still a private club – this wondrous Stanford White designed palazzo does still play host to many of the weddings that we shoot.  One of our recent weddings at the club has been featured in the Winter 2011 issue of  The Knot and we thought we’d share Nora and Matt’s big day with you.

First, our highlights:

And The Knot spread (I know I’m an issue behind…):

And no, we haven’t been asked to join yet and are therefore considering building our own club on 5th Avenue too.

i consider my team of photographers among the best at capturing those split second funny moments that go on at weddings.  but sometimes humor comes not from something that happens at the wedding but comes from the photographer and the actual act of “fixing” the image.  in these cases, there is no ‘joke’ per se outside the photograph itself.

i thought i’d share a couple of examples of these over the next few days.

case in point:

“I can tie my shoes all by myself.”

We are always looking to push the boundaries of what wedding albums can be.  We’ve been working on the design of these books for years and are incredibly proud to show off our one of a kind handmade folio fine art books.  These albums are designed like an art piece to showcase the very best images from the wedding day as individual fine art prints on 100% cotton rag papers.  Even the papers are made especially for our studio.   Our own hand finished prints are then bound by our artisanal bookbinder who hand makes each binding using the finest leathers and japanese silks.

Since each of our Folio Fine Art Books is custom designed as a personal presentation space for your fine art wedding prints each is one of a kind.

We are really proud to add these to our lineup of image presentation options.

Just wanted to finally give props to Ron who shot the “epic” section header for The Reception section of New York Magazine’s Winter Weddings Issue.  It was another beautiful wedding design by Jung Lee of Fete and was held at the amazing Brooklyn Museum.

we will share more details of this stunner of an event shortly.

Thought we’d share some of Meghan and Keith’s pink and green themed wedding at The Bowery Hotel with everyone.
For all of you curious types:

Meghan’s dress is by Oscar de la Renta.

Flowers and event design is by the wonderful Matthew Robbins Design.

The Knot Magazine and Wedding Channel held their 2nd Annual Gala at the New York Public Library last night.  It was a night filled with notables in the wedding industry and we were not only guests, but also the official photographers for the evening’s festivities.

But the best part was getting a chance to see old friends in such a great space.

Randy Fenoli, fashion director of Kleinfeld Bridal and star of TLC’s “Say Yes to the Dress,” was there and he always amps things up to a new level – even getting Carley Roney who runs The Knot to jump for Chris’s camera – while she’s wearing those heels!  Carley and I worked together on the TV show “My Celebrity Wedding” but I’m not not so much the red carpet jumping type so I opted to keep my feet on the ground.

but by the end of the night, it looked like Randy, Chris and I were old friends.

Many thanks to the BDS team who were there making the magic – Kim, Chris, Katie, as well as Angel and Celeste (both not pictured).

Well, the season has been an extremely busy one for us and while we’ve been keeping up with the work for our clients, it has been at the expense of our blog.  But never fear – we’re on it.
And here to kick off the fall season is are a few highlights from last week’s wedding with Lauren and Chris.

Lauren arrived at the church in a perfectly restored Model A Ford.

Lauren awaiting her big moment… the cue to walk down the aisle.

Ron’s alternative take on the recession.

Chris and Lauren wave goodbye as they depart the church in the Model A.
(What I thought was amazing was that the gas gauge is actually a small glass window through which you actually see the gasoline sloshing around. – scary!)

Ron had to address the issue, “What do you do when you’re shooting outside on the streets with fifteen (15!) groomsmen and it starts to rain”?

I think funniest shot of the day goes to Ron – who got this great one of Chris (who is a banker).

Many many thanks go to the fabulous Claire Bean who planned this event.  There are some people that do a great job at event planning and design and are really FUN to work with and we put Claire at the top of that category. We just love her.

next in our series of portfolio updates are the engagement photos.  here’s a few to start….

You can see the new portfolio here.

we do love our weddings here at the studio, but the truth is, if you can do them ultra-high end new york city wedding thingies with celebrities and royalty etc.,  etc. you can pretty much shoot anything.

Case in point: our very own Chris is really an amazing music photographer as well as wedding photographer.  As a follow up to his successful photo sessions with the elder statesman of British Pop,  Sir Elton John, Chris was recently asked to shoot the latest British pop sensation, ADELE for some promotions to coincide with her recently released album 21.  Check out the amazing portraits he created of her.

Bloody brilliant, Chris!

And if you don’t know Adele yet you should take a sec to check out her video on iheartradio and discover what her 1.8 million facebook fans find so appealing about her amazing voice.

Personally, I think Chris has already shot her NEXT album cover!
