Paternostro/Pfister Wedding

Saturday I had the honor of photographing the wedding of Angela Paternostro and Russ Pfister. Their ceremony was held at St. Michaels in Netcong and the reception was at The Farmstead in Andover. It was a very elegant affair with gorgeous flowers everywhere, smiling parents, laughing guests and boxes of pastries for all the guests. 

I am eating one of them as I write this.

Thanks to Angela and Russ for having me photograph their wedding, Thanks to Father Nick for asking me were I was during the whole ceremony, and thanks to the waitstaff at The Farmstead, you ladies rule!

Robinson/DeBoer Wedding 7/4

This fourth of July I photographed the wedding of Dawn Robinson and Brian DeBoer. Waterloo Village, where I was married to my beautiful wife 5 years ago, was the gorgeous setting. 

Brian and Dawn used to work at Waterloo years ago together and it was definetly exiciting and nostalgic for them to walk the grounds on their wedding day. It was a sweet ceremony and you can easily tell these two are

not just husband and wife, but best of friends also. Congratulations!

Last wedding with Sara

This past Saturday I did a wedding for my old boss. It was a great wedding, with old friends and a few new ones. It was also the last wedding I did with one of my favorite co-photographers, Sara Natoli. 

Sara always looked out for me and we always had fun. Our last wedding meal was cheeseburgers at Skytop! Nice!

Emily and Andrew 6/20

Last night I photographed the very sweet wedding of Emily Bruchert and Andrew Sandberg. The ceremony was at Old Clove Church outside of Susssex and the reception was at the Blue Ribbon on Culver's Lake.

It was a small intimate affair that everyone had a great time at. If somebody didn't know each other other they did by the time they sat down to eat.

Emily and Andrew are so in love with each other. They laughed and cried through the whole ceremony and kept up the laughter all night.

I wish them the best of luck and yes the last photo was a curtsey.

Fujifilm Instax 200

I want this! Polaroid recently stopped making instant film and also their cameras. This jammy is the newest instant camera around. Seems to me like it would be a lot of fun. Photos come in a 10 pack just like Polaroid and boil down to about $1 a pic.

I am always looking at cameras on ebay late at night wishing for a Rolleiflex, or Contax G2, all expensive and not really cameras I would use for work, so costs, high costs, cnnot be justified. This however...

Esposito/Timmel Wedding

I photographed Tina and Derick's wedding this past Saturday at Chateau Hathorn in Warwick, NY. You may remember them from their recent engagement pics posted a short time ago.

Their wedding was very easy going and fun. We did most of the pics before the ceremony so everyone enjoyed the cocktail hour and went straight in to the reception.

They have a great set of friends and family who partied all night, most definetly through the after party. Congrats to them both and thanks to Helene at Chateau Hathorn for her hospitality.

Protest in Newton

People from community organizations such as Fredon-PALs, Stop the Lines, NJ Highlands Coalition, Hardwick Enviromental Commission, Stop Riverbank, Sierra Club, and the Fredon Board of Education, rallied in the Newton Square this evening to get the message out about PSE&G's proposed new power lines. 

Go to their sites to find out more. I will be putting up more photos as opportunities present themselves.

Veggie Heaven!!!

Manhattan 5/22

Last Friday I went to Brooklyn and learned a ton of info about printing photos from master printer George Kondogianis. It was a small workshop with only seven other "students" and VII Agency photogrpaher Gary Knight. It coincided with Gary's "Amongst the Poor" exhibit at the VII gallery. It was awesome to talk with Gary one on one about work and family. George shared more knowledge about printing then I think I will ever remember. Marcus Bleasdale and Franco Pagetti were also there, which was also very cool!

No sleep til'...

Headed to Brooklyn for this! WooHoo!

Noel and Melissa

This was one of the easiest engagement sessions I have ever done. Great locations, great light, and a couple who wouldn't laughing and smooching. Noel and Melissa met me down at Pier A in Hoboken tonight, and besides me being late due to Rte. 80 traffic, it was awesome.

Their wedding is in October at the James Ward Mansion in Westfield. They are alot of fun to be around and in a matter of 45 minutes I found myself looking at over 200 photos to edit! 

These were some of my faves but they get to see all of them.
