portfolio updates: part 5 – destination weddings

bd — Mon, 25 Apr 2011 00:34:28 +0000

we recently updated the destination wedding portfolio on our website. don’t some of these images just make you want to jump on a plane and fly off to a tropical island right now!?

(Kim shooting in Anguilla)

(Brian shooting in a very rainy Kauai)

(Ron shooting in Anguilla)

(Brian and Chris shooting in St. Barts)

did you know that all of our international destination wedding photography packages come with a complimentary post-event portrait session? we get the most killer images when the bride has stopped worrying about getting the dress dirty! Like these images, shot by Kim, from Danielle and David’s wedding in Anguilla: (of course, sand between the toes and a rum drink in the hand is quite helpful for the groom as well. )

we’ve got a lot of exciting destination weddings going on this year so there will be lots more to share. in fact, we’re off to the bahamas this thursday to shoot what’s going to be a really fun three day event on harbor island this weekend!

in the mean time, check out more from our destination weddings here.

a great room for a ketubah signing…

and a final moment to collect thoughts before walking down the aisle…

we photographed another beautiful wedding at The St. Regis Hotel recently and i must say, if it absolutely has to rain on your wedding day, The St. Regis is a nice place to be – there’s plenty of stunning space to work with inside.

our many thanks to the always wonderful Ellen Kostman of Sidekick Events who did the planning and to Dejuan Stroud for the flowers.

and some sweet blues from manolo blahnik.

and the groom’s custom suit was by Mr. Ned with groom and groomsmen’s coordinating ties by hermes.

it was a great day or everybody. ok, almost everybody.

kim + jason – the wedding day

bd — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 14:52:00 +0000

Here’s a lesson to friends of the bride.

If she gets a set of cupcakes delivered to her as she’s getting ready that say, “I CAN’T WAIT TO MARRY YOU!” pay attention to the order in which you eat them!!

Especially if you choose to eat some before the photographer arrives!

Our good friend Laura Nadeau of Lo & Co. did a wonderful job on Kim’s makeup. What a surprise to just bump into your friends on the job.

gena + john – the wedding at the st. regis

bd — Fri, 30 Mar 2007 13:54:00 +0000

Gena and John LOVE Grand Central and wanted to take some pictures there on there wedding day. I thought it would be a great place then to give John his first look at his bride.

So we plunked him down in the middle of the Great Hall at Grand Central and brought Gena out to meet him.

So that we could catch his reaction…

Such a great moment.

For this classic shot, I went again with my custom Digital Cyanotype toning that I developed.

If you remember a few weeks back I mentioned the value of lighting at the reception. Look at what Gena and John did at the Penthouse Ballroom at the St. Regis. Not only did they pinspot the centerpieces, but they uplit the walls AND had 4 MAC Lumieres (moving head lights) on pedestals to crosslight the chandeliers and then break into moving disco gobos during the dance sets. And then during the first dance, they lit up the couple’s new custom monogram that was inlaid in the dance floor.

Here’s a centerpiece NOT being a black hole.

Even the Korean Paebak was a rockin good time.

amy + scott – the wedding @ the st. regis

bd — Tue, 20 Feb 2007 18:33:00 +0000

first of all, you have to know that the st. regis holds a special place in my heart. as more and more of grand old new york fades into condoblivion, places like this become even greater treasures. back when celeste and i were dating, the company that she was working for would put her up in the st. regis (even though she had an apartment on 78th st.) and we would have our own little vacation from the city in the city there. they were such great memories and such a special time for us that ultimately i proposed to her there. (on valentine’s day no less – how out of character for me! – but what better way to catch her completely by surprise).

so when we went there again for amy & scott’s wedding day – it was special for us too.

every bride approaches her wedding differently. amy was intent on having a blast. and that she did.
first off, I knew she was planning for fun when I saw her shoes…

how fun are they?

amy beamed the entire day.

on the way to the altar…

during the vows… (and scott beams back)

ok, you can’t see her in this shot of the room and the cake but she’s still beaming.

the first dance…

and in the st. regis tradition – the cake cutting (with sabre) – (while john, the captain, gives the old, “be careful, it’s sharp!” warning….

so she beams while yielding a sword…

now, as an aside, people are always asking how we do our “still live display”, since showing images during a reception isn’t something that most people have seen done in an elegant environment. so we thought we’d show you… (as she beams looking at the images we took of them that day)

and the beaming continued all night long…

weddings are all about smiles after all, aren’t they?
