Jennifer & Richard-August 29, 2009

The heavy rains stopped and the sun came out just long enough for Jen & Richard to get married outside at the Tuscany House. After the ceremony, we strolled across the street to the historic Renault Winery. Beautiful couple at an incredible location, enough said!

My blog has been seriously neglected and I'm going to blame it all on Facebook! I've been doing all of my updates on my Facebook business page instead of here. To be fair to my defenseless blog, I will now post updates to both locations whenever possible.

The first wedding of 2008 started off beautifully with the ceremony and reception of Veelanun & Tom on March 15 at the Shadowbrook in Shrewsbury, NJ. Veelanun looked incredible in her blue wedding dress, honoring her Thai heritage. Here are a few of my favorites from the day.

With the release of my new website and blog, 2008 is starting out to be an exciting year for me. The first wedding of the season is on March 15 at the Shadowbrook in Shrewsbury. I’ve got plenty of new ideas that I’d like to try out this year including adding more of a fashion edge to my photos.

I learned today that one of my photos, from the incredible wedding of Tara & Aaron on September 22, 2007, was published in Brides New Jersey Magazine (brides.com). The article was about dance lessons and included tips for getting the most out of a choreographed routine. Tara & Aaron trained for two months at the Continental Dance Club (http://www.continentaldanceclub.com) and had one of the most original and impressive first dances that I've ever seen.
