2 Down, 1 to Go!

Note to self:  “Stop booking 3 weddings in a row!”  :)

Jamaica and I are still in the midst of a 3-wedding marathon weekend and despite my exhaustion, am glad to know that we only have one more to get through.  I haven’t had much time to do anyting other than shoot, eat and try to get a little sleep these past couple days, but look forward to catching up on blog entries, emails and much needed rest next week.  Here’s a quick shot of the church we got to shoot in today…. one of my new all-time favs!

Check back early next week for lots of blog entries and samples from this weekends’ weddings!

Matt & Lauren – Vintage/HDR Style!

I’m getting ready to shoot a 3 in-a-row wedding marathon starting tomorrow, and hoping I can get through it alive.  I may be a bit backed up on blog entries until I can get through them, but should have lots of samples to share in the very near future with you!

Here’s a quick vintage & HDR style image I was playing around with from the Matt & Lauren Wedding…..

We Now Offer Custom Framing & Matting For All Print Sizes!

I’ve always been asked if we offer framing & matting from those ordering prints, and have always had to unfortunately, say no on this….. until now!  I will be making some updates to the onlinew viewing & ordering sites to allow this option for those interesed, but wanted to make sure we announced that we now offer this!

We now offer varius frames styles, colors and sizes – We can also do either a white or black mat to give your favorite photo a more professiona look.  All framed images come ready to hang and even have special, glare-free glass!  Until I can get this option built into the websites, please feel free to let me know if you need help ordering this….. many of the prints ordered require a custom frame from a framing store that cost hundreds of dollars and two weeks to get back…. this is a great way to get your item framed an matted faster and at a fraction of the price!  Here are a few samples to show you some of the frames we can do:

Congratulations, Becky & Jeff! (Grandview Wedding – Poughkeepsie)

After a fun day with Matt & Lauren, Jamaica and I headed down to Poughkeepsie to the beautiful Grandview to shoot the wedding of Becky & Jeff.  With amazing views of the Hudson River, sunset and bridge, I had forgotten just how great the scenery was – a truly great place for a wedding!

This weekend was unique in the fact that both grooms were photographers – Jeff is a wedding photographer himself in the Atlanta area, so once again the pressure was on for this one!  (note to self: stop booking weddings for photographers :)  On a serious note, they were a really great couple to work with….. Becky is about the most easy going bride you will ever meet and I don’t think I saw her do anything but smile & laugh all night long to be honest. 

For those interested, you can click the link below to pre-register your email and receive notification of when images go live.  A huge thanks and congrats to Jeff & Becky for allowing us to spend  the day with them…. best of luck in your new marriage!

Here are a few quick samples from their day!

P.S.  This weekend I’ll be shooting 3 weddings in a row (which will probably kill me and I’m trying not to think about it right now) – Be sure to check back for LOTS of samples!

Becky - THANK YOU MATT! You truly made our amazing wedding day even better. The pictures look unbelievable so far. We can’t wait to see the rest!!August 27, 2008 – 9:43 am

Congratulations, Lauren & Matt!

Two back to back amazing weddings this weekend that I’m excited to report on.  After a late 2nd night last night, I’m still a bit out of it, but wanted to start banging some of these blog entries out so I can keep up with things. 

This wedding was a bit different than the weddings we normally cover and to be honest, it was such a nice change of pace and scenery.  In addition, Matt is very much into photography, so was surely watching and analyzing my every move….. photographing another photographer’s wedding is a whole new level of pressure that definitely creates some added stress (hopefully, we did okay! :)  This wedding was held out in the country on a beautiful private propery in Greenville, NY…. with various parts of the property laid out for getting ready, ceremony, coctail hour and reception, it was really amazing how it was set up.

Matt & Lauren are two really incredible people, and it was a lot of fun to work with them as well as their bridal party and family.  I seriously could have posted half the wedding on the blog, and had to hold back from posting even more images!  For those interested, you can pre-register your email at the link below for the online viewing and ordering site (usually up in about 30 days).

Congrats again to Matt & Lauren…. I leave you with a few samples from their beautiful wedding day…….

P.S.  I’m spent after this weekend, but will do my very best to get samples up from last night’s wedding with Jeff & Becky, so be sure to check back later :)

P.S.S. I’m sure the bride and groom will be checking this – feel free to leave them some love below!!

(I had a difficult time finding a parking spot for my truck…. after driving around the lot several times, I eventually found one up front – Whew!)

Lauren - Matt you are a wonderful photographer and an awesome person. We love how you captured our wedding so far and can’t wait to see more. Matt is checking your website by the hour. We had a great time! Thanks for making our special day so memorable!August 26, 2008 – 4:13 pm

Travis - Nice job. I knew when my sister and NEW brother-in-law sent me the link to your site that you would do a great job. You made the place look even better than we ever thought all of the hard work put into it could ever look. My only negative comment was that I didn’t make the first cut of images. J/K. Great job and you will definitely be recommended!August 26, 2008 – 6:28 pm

Stacey - Matt you did a fabulous job…. I didn’t realize you took pictures of the barn. It was on my “to do” list to fix up but I just ran out of time. Of course you have beautiful subjects to photo and yes, I am prejudice. Looking forward to seeing the rest.August 27, 2008 – 9:26 am

Matt - You did an amazing job. Thank you for posting so quickly. We need to sit down so you can teach me some of your tricks :) I can not wait to see the rest.August 27, 2008 – 6:01 pm

Barbara - Absolutely Amazing photos! You captured a magnificent day, beautiful venue, stunning bride and handsome groom. Looking forward to more….September 2, 2008 – 2:14 pm
