Sticky Fingers Apples – Amazing Candy Apples and Wedding Goodies!

What started as a simple school project for their kids 3 years ago for my good friends, John & Donna, has now turned into a national craving almost overnight it seems.  Sticky Fingers Apples, which is a local company using local apples from orchards in the Capital Region has become one of the biggest names in the candy apple industry and it’s very exciting to see their business take off with such success.  Not only are they great people, but have an amazing assortment of candy apples & other goodies and ship daily around the country as the orders continue to pour in left and right.  Donna has some new apples including a cool Valentine’s apple so I had some fun shooting some of the new inventory today for their website.  I should also mention that they are now doing wedding apples for those wanting something a little different or to spice up their wedding with extra treats.  Be sure to check out their website at www.stickyfingersapples.com – you won’t be disappointed!  (Seriously, how good do all these look and they have tons more available on the website).

Frank DiMeo - Matt your work is always fabulous but these are off the wall! Good food photography is supposed to make the viewer want to eat the food. These must be excellent because my mouth hasn’t stopped watering and I can’t think of anything else since I saw them. Please let John and Donna know that I have to try them because you made them look so good. Hey wait, it is Valentines Day soon (0;February 10, 2010 – 5:07 pm

John Harris - Matt…

You make our stuff look so great with your wonderful God given talent. We appreciate everything that you do for us and your friendship. Its priceless. Looking forward to many more photo shoots with you. Thanks Again!February 13, 2010 – 2:34 am

Jamie - Don’t lie… you didn’t cut that apple to take the picture, you cut it so you could eat it after :-)February 25, 2010 – 5:55 pm

Congratulations Jen & Paul!! – Canfield Casino Wedding (Several Photos!)

Without a doubt, Jen & Paul’s wedding was one of the biggest weddings our team has ever taken on, and a wedding that I’m extremely proud to share.  10 hours of non-stop shooting, 3 photographers, and a total of close to 7,000 images shot…. exhausting, but an absolutely amazing day for everyone involved, especially Paul and Jen! :)

I could seriously post the entire wedding on the blog, so you’ll have to forgive me, but I’m going all out on this one since we shot so many images from the day and lots of good stuff I wanted to show – I’m trying to figure out what was more work, the 10 hour wedding or this blog entry, lol.   Jen & Paul, along with their entire family and bridal party were so great to work with (I wish it was always that simple) and I’d like to thank everyone for their cooperation and trusting me and allowing us to do our thing and go with the flow.  There were also several people involved in this wedding that it’s very important that I give thanks and credit to.  Here are the list of top wedding professionals that made a HUGE impact:

April Rounds – Owner of  Details Wedding Planning
Alayne Curtiss – Owner of Make Me Fabulous (and boy did she make Jen look fabulous!)
Classe Catering – Amazing job as usual – the Canfield Casino has never looked so good – wow!
The New York Players – 2 back to back weddings with these guys, and they absolutely rocked it both nights!
and of course my team (Jessica Bruce & John Williams (Jamaica) for an outstanding job

Thanks to everyone!!  Jen and Paul are surely sipping Margaritas right now someplace with their feet up and swimming in the ocean, but I wanted to share a piece of their big day with everyone.  I’m sure they will be checking this out from their honeymoon suite, so be sure to leave them lots of love and comments below for them to check out when they have time!  Also, for those interested, you can pre-register your email at the link below to receive automatic notification of when images go live in about 30-40 days:

Glenville Dental – Albany Business & Lifestyle Headshots

I had another opportunity this week to take a break from the wedding scene to shoot some lifestyle and headshot images for Glenville Dental out of Scotia, who is working on a great new website coming soon!  I think more and more businesses are starting to realize that having not only a professional website, but great images can go a long way when it comes to a consumer or patient making a decision where they want to do business.  Dr. Sandmann and his entire staff were a lot of fun to hang out with (probably the most fun I’ve ever had in a dentist office since…….. forever?)  I can’t wait to see the finalized website and I think many of the photos we got will make a dramatic improvement to the website.  Here are a few quick samples I wanted to share….  I also want to give a huge thanks to one of my favorite stylists, Amy Elizabeth, who did an awesome job helping folks to look their best (and maybe impress their husbands when they got home?)

P.S.  I’m on my way to go floss, but be sure to check back soon for LOTS of blog entries….. October is going to be our busiest month of the entire year, and hopefully lots of great stuff coming soon for all you blog stalkers!

Sealed with a Kiss* Product Spotlight – the Kiss Wedding Album

One of our hottest new albums we are now offering is the Kiss album, which packs quite a punch with it’s plush leather, seamless binding, thick pages and amazing overall quality!  They come in various colors of leather based on preference, and I decided to order a new show album for our studio in brown, which I just had to blog about to show you how nice these truly are.  The Kiss album is for those that love 3 things….. leather, quality & simplicity, and I have to say they are at the top of the food chain when it comes to the wedding album and form of showcasing your wedding images.  They can be done in 10×10 or 12×12 (again in various color leather options), and probably one of the most impressive things is that they are done in about 2 weeks of submitting the order vs. the 4-6 weeks some of the other album manufacturers can have at times.  Here’s a few sample photos for those of you that might be interested in one of these bad boys :)

Email or call us when you are ready to get YOURS!  By the way, we offer custom album design for anyone, anywhere (whether we shot your wedding or not) through our alternative website at www.ramosdesigns.com

Congratulations Jennifer & Ian! Berkshires Mass Wedding

Despite it being probably one of the hottest days of the summer to shoot a wedding on, it couldn’t have been a more amazing day for Jenn & Ian to tie the knot.  I’ve been traveling more this year than any year before to shoot weddings, and am really enjoying mixing it up with different scenery from the usual (nothing against Saratoga, but I get bored quickly) – this one was held in Pittsfield, Mass, so took a little road trip in the morning to spend the day.

I first had the opportunity to meet Ian & Jenn just a month and a half ago to shoot some engagement photos together and immediately clicked with them…. they are such a cool couple and about as easy going as it gets – even with a huge bridal party, they were so easy & fun to work with.  Jenn is already a pretty girl, but she made such a beautiful bride and certainly made my job easy that’s for sure!  (by the way, I want all you future brides out there to take note of how she smiles with her eyes – there is not one photo of her that you cannot clearly see what a genuine, compassionate & loving person she is inside and out).

I want to take a second to thank the family and bridal party yesterday for being so accommodating and allowing us to take part in such a special day.  For those interested, you can pre-register at the link below to receive notification of when all images go live in about 3-4 weeks for online viewing & ordering.  Congrats to Ian & Jenn on their new marriage and hope you’ll find the time to leave them some love and comments below as I’m sure they’ll be checking this out in the near future!

Congrats guys – as always, I leave you with a few samples from their day! :)
