donna and dave : 2009.7.31

I was convinced that there would be no place to hide from the rain today. I should have known that Donna would have a plan B. We were set to shoot the photos at Mt. St. Vincent College in Riverdale and Donna being the persuasive person that she is, got the security guards to open the castle on the grounds and we grabbed some quick shots. I wish I had some more time inside it was amazing.
Right before the reception began a perfect rainbow formed, I have never seen a perfect arc before. I know they say that rain is good luck on your wedding day, so what does a perfect rainbow over your venue mean?

karen and mike : 2009.7.26

FInally, Mike and Karen’s post. This was not an easy one to pull, I had way to many options.

Karen from Rockaway and Mike from Rockland. How the hell did these two meet? I know but I’m not telling!
We were all over the place on sunday. They figured glen island was the perfect in between, I agreed : )
But how cool would it have been to shoot the portraits under that L train.

Yeah we hung the dress from the sign, but we were careful, I swear.

marilena and danny : 2009.7.25

Marilena and Danny’s wedding was the grand finale for the Balbi family and I. All together I photographed three weddings for them. I have to say that I felt honored that they selected me to photograph each wedding and also that they trusted me to do something different each time.

The image in the turn style at Playland is one of my favorite images in the series. So much that I added it to the opening section of my main site! Hey Marilena your going to be famous ; )

The first dance song happens to be the song Catherine and I danced to at our wedding 8 years ago!
True Companion by Marc Cohn

I was lucky enough to work with all my favorite people today.
Dave and Joe Video shot the video
Silver Star provided the limos
and Rosalba did Laura’s makeup perfectly of course!

anna and anthony : 2009.7.12

If you read this blog you probably remember Anna and Anthonys engagement session. If not you can see one of their shots on the main page of this site. Its the photo of them near the surfboards. I knew when we finished the engagement session that the wedding day was going to be awesome. The camera loves them! Not to mention they always have great “things.” Come on surf boards, who has 5 surfboards in there truck!
I never doubted that Anthony would have a cool car pick Anna up at her house, but a 1958 Chevy Impala. Seriously? That car is so damn cool. I could have spent an hour just shooting them in the car.

We went to Playland for some of the photos and finished up at the Marina in the Bronx.
If you liked Anna’s hair it was done by her cousin michelle, Hi michelle! Contact me for her information.

Dave From Moving pictures was on the job again and as you all know we get along famously. If you want a sick video to go along with your wedding album give him a call.
