Carmela & Tim's Wedding

This is going to be a long post but worth looking at I promise! I met with Carmela and Tim a couple of months before their wedding date and fell in love with them right away - especially Carmela! They are a great couple with so much good energy that they are a joy to be around. Carmela has a beautiful smile on about 90% of the time - the other 10% she is laughing.

To top all this off, they were getting married at one of our favorite locations - Bedell Cellars in Cutchogue, Long Island. The North Fork of Long Island is abundant with vineyards and wineries and a lot of these vineyards cater to the wedding industry. Bedell is one of the finest in my opinion with some of the best wine on hand, and incredible location and a great open air deck.

Kim met with the girls for some pre ceremony pictures - here is one of the bridesmaids with a junior bridesmaid..



Carmela checks her make up and hair..



A view from the Church balcony..



How often do you get to shoot a Philippine wedding? Well, for us it turned out to be twice in a month!! If you read the Kate and Axel blog entry below this one, you'll remember that Axel's heritage is from the Philippines - well so is Carmela's and I think I surprised the priest a little when he started preparing me for the pinning of the veil, the rope and so on and I was able to finish off all his sentences!



How adorable is this flower girl with her bubble blower?!



On to Bedell! It was a picture perfect afternoon and Carmela and Tim had hired a String Trio to play during the cocktail hour..



One of many group shots with the vineyard as a back drop. Here the Bridesmaids and Junior Bridesmaids pose with the Ring Bearer, Carmela and Tim..



A stroll and a kiss through the vines..











A view of the property from the deck. Carmela and Tim chose a lemon yellow theme for their wedding. As you will see in the table setting photos coming up, the details were so unique and beautiful that I was in heaven just shooting them..



I particularly like this backlit portrait of Carmela...



..and while I was in the vineyard, Kim was on the deck shooting down - this was a great angle to frame the couple with all the leaves..



And now for the details, details, details..............











Here's my favorite flower girl again enjoying all the space to play in..



And the first dance.......



During the Best Man speech or Toast, I try to get to a good vantage point where I can shoot the Best Man as well as the Bride and Groom. Quite often the best photo ends up being the Bride and Groom's reaction to what is being said......



Sunset over Bedell..





and the winery lit up at dusk..



Carmela and Tim, you know how much we loved shooting you both and your wedding was a photographer's delight. Good luck to both of you and we can't wait to get back to the vineyard!
