Allison and Jason's Wedding

2009-06-01T22:40:00.005-04:00

Last month we had the pleasure of being part of Allison and Jason's wedding at The Lighthouse at Chelsea Piers New York. It was a perfect spring day to get married in New York City. Allison and Jason live right across the water, who else can say that they can see their reception site from their rooftop. I thought that was pretty cool. The cool breezes coming in from the big open windows and the music playing on the dance floor made for a perfect wedding reception. Here are a couple of my favorites from the wedding day.

Congratulations Allison and Jason! We wish you the best of luck!

Kasey and Jake's Wedding

2009-06-01T21:57:00.004-04:00

Any chance I can get to go back to Santa Barbara I will take. This visit was the best of 2 worlds. I was honored to second shoot a wedding at The Four Seasons - Biltmore with my cousin Ricky. And it also gave me a chance to visit some family and friends. Kasey, Jake, their family, and friends were awesome and a pleasure to work with. Their ceremony took place at All Saints-by-the-Sea followed by some portrait pictures at Butterfly Beach right in front of The Biltmore. The reception was so much fun, the band, That Vibe were amazing. Thank you Kasey and Jake for letting me be part of your special day. Good Luck and Congratulations on your marriage.

Here are some pictures from the rehearsal dinner and the day of the wedding.

Over the weekend we were invited to be guests at Allyson and Justin's wedding. The ceremony was held at Saints Peter and Paul Church in Hoboken, NJ and the reception was held at The Newark Museum. It is always fun to be guests at a wedding, I didn't have to worry about running around and stressing about pictures. I did bring my camera and took a few pictures.

2008-10-08T00:54:00.003-04:00

Last weekend we went out to Liberty State Park to do Christine and Glenn's engagement session. We started early so we could have the park pretty much to ourselves. It started off just like any other photo session does, with that awkward feeling. We started to joke around and they both started to loosen up, I think Glenn secretly liked all the attention! hahaha. Here are a couple of my favorites. Check back next month for their wedding pictures. We had a great time! Thanks Christine and Glenn!

We had the special honor of photographing Lorna and Metin's wedding. They are a super friendly couple and their family and friends made us feel like we were guests at the wedding. When you mix the Filipino culture with the culture from Turkey you end up with a great time. It was such a pleasure to work with them, here are some of my favorites. Congratulations Lorna and Metin, we wish you all the best!

Sorry for such a long post but I know some family from abroad wanted to see some pictures.

Just to let you know Karen is my sister-in-law and I have known her and Vincent for a pretty long time now and these guys are perfect for each other. From the time Karen started getting ready up until the D.J. played his last song, everyone had a great time. The wedding was amazing and I feel very special to have been part of their special day. Here are a few, actually a lot from that day! Congratulations Karen and Vincent! We love you guys! Enjoy the pictures.

Memorial Day Weekend in Washington D.C.

2008-05-29T23:44:00.003-04:00

For Memorial Day Weekend we took a road trip to visit Ryan, Debbie, and Ava in Washington, D.C. They just moved into a new place and Debbie is about to deliver her second baby. Our plan for the weekend was to do nothing but hang out and bring Kalea and Ava to the park. It was so much fun just watching those two run around, get on the swings, and mess around in those playground structures. Here are a few pictures from the weekend. Hope you all had as much fun and relaxing weekend as we did. Newborn pictures of my new niece will come soon!

Pinky and Stephen are getting married this coming June and we went out for a photo engagement session. It wasn't the ideal weather but they were super cool and agreed to go out even though it was raining. The weather cleared up a bit and ended up with some pretty cool pictures.

Trish and Dan's Wedding

2008-03-17T21:05:00.003-04:00

Elza and I were invited to one of her co-workers wedding at the Florentine Gardens in Riverdale, New Jersey. It was weird to be a guest at the wedding, but I did bring my camera. We were unable to make it to the ceremony due to some late season snow. The reception was beautiful. The food and music were outstanding. Here are a couple of favorites from the reception.

All the best Trish and Dan! Congratulations!

1 Year Old Rafael

2008-03-11T23:17:00.003-04:00

It was so much fun to get together with Carlo and Rizalyn, and take pictures of their 1 year old son, Rafael. I have known Carlo for a couple of years now, and it is weird to exchange baby stories, feeding schedules, poop schedules, and what time we DON'T get up in the middle of the night. Our kids are about the same age and we still can't believe that it is over a year now that we are DAD'S.

Here are a couple of pictures from that day.

Flic Spa

2008-03-11T22:50:00.004-04:00

A new high end spa has opened up in Bloomfield, NJ. The name of the spa is Flic Spa.
Oliver and Lerek are the proud new owners of this high end spa. They asked us to take some pictures for their website and for some promotional cards. This place reminds me of the spa Elza and I went to at the Four Seasons Maui. Walking into this place just brought back memories of our last trip to Hawaii. If you are in the area please stop by and take a look at the place. I guarantee you will book a spa treatment.

Here are a couple of my favorite pictures from the session.

Good Luck Oliver and Lerek!

Ryan Russell Granada

2008-03-11T22:37:00.004-04:00

Here is the last wedding from last year.
I had the pleasure of shooting this wedding with a west coast photographer
from Santa Barbara, Tim Halberg.

The wedding was in Rye, New York at this really cool castle called Whitby Castle.
Renee and Rick were such a fun couple to work with. We had a great time documenting their special day. Here are a few favorites from the wedding.

Sicat Christmas Tree Picking

2007-12-04T23:06:00.001-05:00

On Saturday I had the pleasure of taking pictures for my good friends the Sicat's (Jon, Jo Anne, and Jack). We went to Cherryville Farms in Flemington, New Jersey. I have never been to a place that sells live Christmas trees so it was fun to check it out. This place lets you pick your tree and you get to cut it down yourself. It is a really cool tradition but when I saw the mess the tree left behind in the house....I can say I am happy with our fake pre-wired tree. I can't wait to see their tree all dressed up. Happy Holiday's Sicat Family, thanks for letting me share the day with you guys. Here are a few pictures from Saturday.

Kalea's First Snow Fall

2007-12-04T22:43:00.001-05:00

2007-12-03T23:45:00.002-05:00

We are in the process of getting our holiday cards done. Here are a couple of pictures we plan to use for our Christmas Cards. My sister was in town so I did her cards as well. Kalea and Ava cooperated with me and here are a couple of my favorites.

Guitar Hero III

2007-12-03T23:17:00.000-05:00

Guitar Hero III came out for the XBOX 360 and my good friend Joe came over so I could try it out. Let me tell you I never laughed so much when he put the game in. I gave it a try and let me tell you I felt really goofy, but the more you play it the more you get into it. Next thing you know it is 1 a.m. and we are trying to get past these different levels. It was so much fun. Thanks Joe...something to add to the Christmas Wish List.

Happy Halloween

2007-10-31T22:14:00.001-04:00

Today is Kalea's first Halloween and she decided to be a Monkey. Kalea decided to be a trooper today and she didn't fuss at all with her costume. She had a blast helping Grandpa give out treats. Elza and I took her around the neighborhood and she loved it. It was such a nice fall day to bring her out, she got to meet all the neighbors and kids around town. Here are a few pictures from today. Enjoy! The last few are my attempts at off camera flash, thanks Strobist.

Pumpkin Picking at Wightman's Farms

2007-10-27T11:00:00.000-04:00

Today we brought Kalea for her first pumpkin picking experience. We went to Wightman's Farm
in nearby Morristown, New Jersey. We brought Kalea on a hay ride and she got to pick her own pumpkins. They had the best peach pie at the store so I had to buy 3 pies for the house. Here are a few pictures from the day.

Kalea Grace

2007-02-15T00:14:00.000-05:00

It is hard to believe that our little girl is already 6 weeks old. She definitely has Daddy's appetite and Mommy's set of lungs
