Liz and Adam's ceremony and reception were held at the Museum Of The City Of New York in Manhattan. Our friend Elaine from Exquisite Events planned the whole event. Liz and her bridesmaids had their hair and makeup done at Allure Day Spa and then were off to Liz and Adam's apartment on the Upper East Side to get dressed.





We had some time before the ceremony to take some pictures in the Conservatory Gardens of Central Park.

Engagement portrait sessions are always fun and this one was no exception. It was another spectacular day in Central Park. Amy and Brian are truly in love and we were glad we could faithfully represent this in their photos. We look forward to photographing their wedding in June.

Lauren and Dylan's ceremony and reception were held at the Sunningdale Country Club in Scarsdale, NY.



Lauren's hair and makeup looked just perfect.



The ceremony included a beautiful mix of both of their faiths, while preserving family traditions.



To wrap up the evening, Dylan gave his bride a surprise acoustic performance of Bruce Springsteen's Jersey Girl.

Hey, did you notice our new look? We've changed our Journal to a white background which we think really makes our images pop! Also, starting with the latest entry, we've moved to a much larger image size. We look forward to posting some great shots in the near future as we move into the full swing of our 2007 season. Stay tuned!!

This month's photo is from Jennifer and Andrew's wedding. This shot was taken by Michael at Gerry Park in Roslyn, NY. The couple agreed to meet before their wedding ceremony so we would have time to go to the park and grab some photos in daylight. The shot was taken minutes after they first saw each other that day and their joy and outright exuberance made for this great candid photo. The shot proves that even subjects that are "camera-aware" can still be caught off-guard in truly real moments.

Jennifer and Andrew’s wedding day began where it ended, at the Roslyn Claremont Hotel in Roslyn, NY. After their preparations in separate rooms, they met in the hotel library room for a few family photos. We then stole away with just Jennifer and Andrew to the nearby Gerry Park for a few photos in the snow-covered park and duck pond. Jennifer was giddy with happiness and her joy was infectious. It was a pleasure to shoot this happy couple all day long.

Miriam and Tony's wedding day preparations began at the Garden City Hotel. It was a crisp February day, but a bearable 38 degrees at midday. Miriam was ready early and her dress, shoes and veil were laid out and ready to put on as we arrived. She was in a great mood and enjoyed the extra time we had to photograph just her.





The church ceremony was traditional Greek and was held at a church just a few blocks away from the hotel. After the ceremony, we accompanied the bride and groom to their reception at the DeSeversky Conference Center; a turn-of-the-century mansion deep in the woods of Old Brookville, NY. While the late afternoon brought a bit of a chill to the air, Miriam and Tony braved the few minutes outside the mansion for some “cool” shots.

  

Well, as the sun sets on another wedding season for Bliss Productions NY, Jerry, Michael, Marek, Elliot, John and Ryan would all like to wish you the very best for the holiday season and a happy, healthy 2007. We are thankful for having met each of our couples and as much as you say we have touched your lives, you have certainly touched ours as well. We like to think that the memories that we capture will be viewed and admired for generations to come.

Our holiday break is short this year as we have to look forward to a few weddings in February and March. So we will take a brief siesta, fine tune our equipment, purchase a few upgrades here and there, and be ready to tackle our 2007 season with vigor. We are excited about how things are going here at Bliss and invite you to stay tuned to this journal to share in the excitement with us.

Anita and David's wedding day began with a few minor hiccups, which were enough for us to pay close attention to the dwindling winter daylight. They thankfully met each other prior to the ceremony and in just enough time to grab some intimate portraits of them on the grounds of the Swan Club in Roslyn, NY; the location of both their ceremony and reception. While the Swan Club is known for its beautiful gardens in the warmer months, we still managed to find beauty in the winter setting as well. It helped that Anita and David were able to relax and give us some great expressions to work with.

A great day for a marathon, an even better day for a wedding. We must admit, we were a little anxious about getting in and out of Ronni’s home in Brooklyn because she lives just a few blocks from the main route for the NYC Marathon. Thankfully, we fared pretty well with traffic and parking.



Once Ronni’s hair and makeup were complete and she climbed into her beautiful dress, it was on to the NY Botanical Garden for the ceremony and reception. The couple chose the intimate Snuff Mill building hidden deep in the property and alongside a creek and adjacent to the rose garden. They met each other before the ceremony for photo purposes, as is typical of weddings where the ceremony and reception are held in the same location.The trees were in full color and the weather was not too chilly. We really enjoyed the day and got some fabulous images.
