Trash the Dress!!!

This was my first "trash the dress" session and it was so much fun! Camille and Tim were married in Antigua and I attended their ceremony and party where I played photographer and practiced my skills! No I was not hired - but happened to be on vacation when I met them just days before their wedding and could not resist taking some photos at this beautiful setting. The sunset on the beach was beyond gorgeous and I got some beautiful shots of the newlyweds who took a dip in the warn Caribbean waters while they were still fully dressed! It looked so exhilarating and romantic at the same time.

Here are a few of my favorites!

Oh and love these last few :)

A wedding in Antigua

Last June I was so honored to be invited to a beautiful, quaint wedding in Antigua! Tim and Camille were married at Sandals in Antigua, a gorgeous island in the Caribbean. It had rained a lot that day and they kept pushing back the ceremony but eventually the clouds parted and the sun came through blazing! The lighting was beautiful and I went nuts taking pictures of the two! The resort at Sandals is so beautiful and lush and it really shows in these photos. Antigua is just a really breathtaking island and has such blue water - click here for a few more pictures I took while on vacation!

After the ceremony they had a little party at their private rondoval (a mini house with a private plunge pool) where food and cocktails were a plenty! When the sun went down we did some trash the dress photos on the beach but I will save that for another post!

Congrats to the bride and groom and thank you for letting me us be a part of your day!





































They both have heirloom wedding rings which I always think is so special

It rained again, but only for a few minutes!

The End

Events: Adrian's Christening

A beautiful day in June...a lovely family...a Christening AND a Birthday party...two amazing cakes - what more can a photographer ask for?! I am so lucky to be doing what I am doing and to have repeat customers! I did Christine's maternity photo's last year and was honored to shoot her adorable son's Christening. Adrian is such a little cutie and a really ham for the camera! He slept through most of the ceremony and barely made a peep during the times he was awake - what a great baby! His big brother Anthony was celebrating his 2nd birtday and the after party was held at Il Classico in Massapequa. After I was done shooting, Christine invited me to stay for dinner and I thought that was so sweet! The food was delicious and I got to meet a few of her awesome friends!

I sat next to and chatted with Elizabeth from For Goodness Cakes! She made both of the below cakes and cookies and has done some amazing stuff. Her business is based in NJ but she serves the entire tri-state area! I am definitely going to look into using her for cake smash photos and maybe the next time I throw a party! Check out her facebook fan page, For Goodness Cake, and definitely contact her for your next event!
