Lauren and Todd's wedding day involved a criss-cross of long island. Lauren's day began at the Hyatt Regency Windwatch Hotel in Islandia, NY. Once she was dressed we drove to Old Westbury Gardens in Old Westbury, NY so she could meet her groom and grab some pictures before their ceremony.

Here's a cool shot of some fun with the groomsmen before Lauren arrived.



They meet!
We always try to make the meeting an event when it happens before the ceremony. More and more couples are choosing to meet beforehand so they can enjoy their cocktail hour later.

Their ceremony and reception were held at Bourne Mansion in Bohemia, NY.

A great sunset shot by the water.



A cool idea for favors - guests fill chinese-food-type cartons with candy. Yummy.

Hi Jerry,

"Thanks sooo much for the dvds! We really love them. I was cracking up and crying through the whole thing. You knew exactly what to put in and cut out!!
They are so great."

Meghan and Michael's wedding ceremony was held at St Anne's Church in Garden City, NY. After the ceremony, we went to Garden City Country Club for some cool portraits at sunset.



This one is a favorite of ours. We love the way Meghan's veil is blowing in the wind and light is spectacular.



Their reception was held at The Royalton, formerly Roslyn Country Club and recently renovated. The place looks fantastic. Here's a nice evening shot in front of the Royalton.

Dana and Jared's wedding day was a beautiful early fall day. Dana and her bridesmaids got ready at her parent's house in Old Brookville, LI. This first shot is from the front porch.



Their ceremony was held at St Paul the Apostle Church in Jericho, NY. Love this shot of them exiting the church.



After the ceremony, we went to Planting Fields Arboretum for their portraits. This shot was taken in the rose garden. In early June, the arches are covered with roses.



Dana and Jared's reception was held at the Crescent Beach Club in Bayville, NY overlooking the Long Island Sound.

Eva and Jeremy are another one of our Jersey couples. They chose the Rockleigh Country Club for their wedding reception. The Rockleigh is a beautiful, classy venue. We got some great relaxed portraits on the property just before sunset.





We never get a warning when a couple is going to dip, so we always have to be ready for one of these.

Laura and Craig's ceremony and reception were held at Sans Souci on Long Island's Gold Coast in the village of Sea Cliff, NY. Sans Souci is a late nineteenth century home overlooking Long Island Sound.

A shot of Laura just before she went outside to meet Craig.

crying, I love them so much."

Andrea and Eric

You might not know that we shoot quite a few weddings in New Jersey. Andrea and Eric's wedding day took place at Skylands Castle on the grounds of the New Jersey Botanical Gardens. This place is a photographer's dream!

The castle itself.



The ceremony area.



A sweet portrait of Andrea.



Marek took this cool b&w shot.



A cute candid.

Susan and Ofir's day began near their apartment in New York City. We got some great shots in Battery Park City as they met each other before their ceremony.

Love this pic because Ofir is leaning in the same direction as the arm of the Statue of Liberty and the cranes in the background.



Note the squirrel on the bench. This was not pasted in, the little guy really was on the bench!



This one was shot by the World Financial Center on the waterfront.



Their ceremony and reception were held at Crest Hollow Country Club in Woodbury, NY. Their ceremony was held outdoors at dusk, under a beautiful hupa, surrounded by friends and family.

Becky and Ralph had their ceremony and reception at Tall Grass Country Club in Shoreham, Long Island on a beautiful afternoon in early August. Here's a peek at some of our favorite images:





Love this image. It really is "tall grass".
