Despite having an outdoor reception, we all managed to  have a great time at the Larchmont Yacht Club in Larchmont, NY. The band rocked, the decor was nautical and the location was spectacular.

The tulips were almost past full bloom but hung around in all their glory to make for the perfect backdrop to our photography. The ceremony was held outside under a cherry-blossom-dressed hupa. We even managed to get a little timely cloud cover to avoid glaring full sun during the cermony. Enjoy some of their images and slideshow below.<br /><br /><center>

Michelle and David are a hip couple and a lot of fun.

		<description><![CDATA[Maria and Rob have a special connection to <a href="http://www.plantingfields.org" target="_blank" >Planting Fields Arboretum</a> in Oyster Bay, NY. This shot was taken on the south side of Coe Hall in the heart of the arboretum, after their ceremony. The Arboretum is a popular spot for wedding photography; so much so that some days you could find up to four brides at once. This day, early in the season, we had the place to ourselves. <br /><br /><center>

		<description><![CDATA[Royce and Chad&#039;s wedding day was held at the newly renovated event space at Temple Israel of Lawrence, NY. The space features a long hallway dressed in mirrors, red walls, hip furniture and wall-sized prints. We were lucky to have such a cool interior to shoot in because outside was rainy all day. <br /><br />This shot tricks the eye because it was taken in between two mirrors, one on the wall in front of Royce and Chad and one on the wall behind them. This is why you can see so many reflections. Michael says the real trick was taking the picture without revealing himself in the mirrors.<br /><br /><center>

<br /><br />We&#039;re starting off the new year with an image of Jennifer and Daniel that faithfully represents how far professional digital camera technology has come. The low-light sensitivity of the latest technology from Nikon allows us to achieve superb image quality in near-darkness. It doesn&#039;t hurt to have a beautiful couple, of course. This image was shot in front of <a href="http://westburymanor.com" target="_blank" >Westbury Manor</a> in Westbury, NY, well after sunset.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lori and Kevin&#039;s wedding was somewhat of a destination wedding for us as it was held in Philadelphia, PA. It was a cold and windy January day, quite different from Jen and Daniel&#039;s day only a week before. Despite the cold, the city of brotherly love didn&#039;t disappoint. Lori and Kevin planned their day well and their hotel, ceremony and reception were all within a few blocks of each other, and within a few blocks of the heart of downtown Philly.<br /><br />Their church ceremony was held at the oldest church in Philly, St Joseph&#039;s.<br /><br /><center>

		<description><![CDATA[Jennifer and Daniel&#039;s wedding day started with Jen getting ready at her parent&#039;s house in New Jersey and Daniel getting ready in Staten Island. For January, the weather was just gorgeous, a balmy 60 degrees. Their ceremony was held at St. Ann&#039;s Church in Staten Island. <br /><br />Here&#039;s nice shot of them exiting the church.<br /><br /><center>

		<title>A word about parking</title>
		<link>http://www.blissproductionsny.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry080102-201837</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Our new location at 745 Franklin Ave in Garden City has some ample parking locations that you may not be aware of at first glance. As our storefront is on Franklin Ave, there is no parking directly at the curb in front of the store. However, there is a municipal parking lot directly behind the store which allows for free parking. There is also more than one lot directly across the street from the store. We have created a helpful map to assist you, available at our website by clicking on the Contact link on the home page.<br /><br />While the parking in the lots is free, please take note of the time restrictions. Some spots are 1 hour limit, others are 2 hour limit and some are 8 hour limit. Also, some have no limit on Sat/Sun while others only have no limit on Sun. The Village does ticket violators.<br /><br />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, after much effort, we have finally completed renovation of our new location and are officially conducting business. We even had a formal ribbon cutting with the Garden City Chamber of Commerce and made headlines in the local newspapers. We are thrilled to be a part of such a historical and elegant community and wish to thank the local officials for their cooperation and guidance. We would also like to thank our realtor, Bernie Del Bello of <a href="http://www.windsorcre.com" target="_blank" >Windsor Commercial Real Estate</a> for such a great find. We would  also like to thank all of our couples again for all their support last year and in years prior. You are the heart and soul of Bliss Productions!<br /><br />Now, after a deep breath, we can finally catch up on the real work - editing your videos and photos, designing your albums and finally updating this journal.<br /><br />Here&#039;s a quick photo tour of our construction journey...<br /><br />Before we started. Ugh!<br /><center>

		<description><![CDATA[New Year&#039;s Eve weddings are undoubtedly a blast. Add in the fun-loving couple of Colleen and Tim and it can be a riot. Their ceremony was held at the more than 100 year old St. Gertrude&#039;s in Bayville, NY. The church was still decorated for the holidays and had a warm vibe.<br /><br /><center>

<br /><br />Colleen and Tim&#039;s reception was held at <a href="http://thecrescentbeachclub.com" target="_blank" >The Crescent Beach Club</a> in Bayville, NY. You might not think beach and New Year&#039;s Eve go together and while the view was spectacular, the temperature was not. Against a windy twenty degrees or so day, we managed to get a few &quot;cool&quot; exterior portraits.<br /><br /><center>

		<description><![CDATA[Erin and Brian&#039;s wedding ceremony was held at St. Philip &amp; James Church in St.James, NY. The church was still beautifully decorated for the Christmas holiday with Christmas trees and large wreaths. After the ceremony, we had just enough time before sunset to grab some portraits at a vintage manor house and then it was on to their reception at <a href="http://www.hamletwillowcreek.com" target="_blank" > Hamlet Willow Creek Golf &amp; Country Club</a> in Mt. Sinai, NY. One of our favorite shots of the year occurred at the edge of darkness on the grounds of the country club. Thank you all for another great year!<br /><br /><center>

		<title>WE ARE MOVING! (this is good news) - November 2007</title>
		<link>http://www.blissproductionsny.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry071201-141211</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Yes, we are moving, but not very far. After a few great years (thanks to all of our couples) we are leaving our current Williston Park office and moving less than 3 miles South to a storefront location in the heart of Garden City, NY. Our new location will be done in a &quot;Soho Gallery&quot; style and will be ready on or about December 1st, 2007. We are currently renovating the space and will put up some progress pictures soon.<br /><br />In the meantime, please take note of our new phone number 516.442.0490 which also appears in the header of our website. Our new address will be 745 Franklin Ave, Garden City, NY, 11530. The store is on the East side of Franklin Ave between Stewart Ave and 7th Street, amidst lots of great restaurants, shops, a Dunkin Donuts and a Starbucks!<br /><br />Also, our main photographer Michael will be taking on a more active role in the sales and customer service portion of our business, so don&#039;t be surprised if he answers the phone. Michael thought it was important to be more involved with our couples not just during, but before and after their wedding day. Jerry is still around, we&#039;re just giving him a well-deserved break from the day-to-day stuff.]]></description>
