Michelle & Geoff's Engagement Session
Michelle and Geoff found us through WPJA which is an organization we are very proud to be associated with and look forward to referrals from them. Then, after following our Blog for a while, Michelle and Geoff met with us, liked what they saw and consequently booked us for their wedding next fall!
I met with them on a crisp Autumn day in Cold Spring Harbor for their engagement session..

From the first click of the shutter I knew they were very going to be great subjects ~ very comfortable in front of the camera and not afraid of PDA!
I usually take a few solo portraits during each session and try to capture each personality... Geoff tried not to laugh too hard at Michelle's egging on...
Then the tables were turned! I love this next photograph of Michelle with the Eskimo hood and radiant smile peaking out from underneath the fur!
Tender moment...
Fall foliage makes for a great backdrop when you can throw it out of focus like this..
...and this is why I love Digital so much! I have an 'action' that can make any image take on the faded and muted tones of a 1977 photograph. Very beautiful I think ~ if used sparingly!
..and a couple of creative ring shots to end the session!
Michelle and Geoff ~ thank you for being such great subjects to work with. I can't wait for your wedding next year and look forward to having Geoff try out some new seating positions I've concocted for him!!

Christina & Tom's Wedding
What could be better than back to back weddings at Oheka Castle!
This venue is quite simply breathtaking with unbelievable locations for photography and incredible backdrops at every direction including the interior.
We were so excited that Christina and Tom had chosen us to photograph their wedding here and the day turned out to be just perfect!
Here's a view from the south lawn looking at the massive castle..
Up in the bridal suite, Christina prepared for some balcony photographs..
...while the guys prepared down below.
I love this portrait of Christina on the balcony overlooking the grounds and reflecting pools down below..
A signature on the Marriage Certificate make's sure it's all above board!
...and then a bridesmaids portrait before heading down...
ART WARNING!!
There's something about this next photograph that I like a lot. Tom was inside the castle waiting for the guests to be seated and as I took this photograph of him looking through the window, Reverand Bill walked into view and created a reflection in the glass. It probably won't make the album but I like it anyhow!
Amazing aerial view of the grounds as the guests arrive...
..and then Christina makes her grand entrance with her parents...
During the ceremony I had about 5 minutes total to hightail it back to the bridal suite for this photograph then run down the stairwell in time for the vows and ring exchange...
Ladies out there who are about to get married, here's something you may want to consider for your bridesmaids; not all girls look their best in the same style of dress so a good option is to pick a color and have your bridal party choose a dress style that's comfortable for them. This might be strapless, spaghetti straps, form fitting, loose, etc. in any event, Christina's girls looked fabulous and they all get to wear their dresses again!
The happy couple...
Location, location, location... here's a view of the castle..
....then a 180° turn around for a view of the grounds!
First dance under the Grand Ballroom chandelier..
ART WARNING #2!!
As I strolled outside during dinner, I decided to take a photograph of the castle in the moonlight. Unable to steady the camera for such a long exposure, I decided to go with the flow and jump as I took the photograph instead and this is the resulting image. Again, probably not album material but nice to look at - yes? no?
