What can I say? Another awesome couple! The families and friends were great, the best vendors, incredible late June weather, and George Cannon by my side. Does it get any better? People always tell me it is obvious that I love my job. What is not to love with a line up like that?
The amazing Courtney and Eddie were the stars for this magnificent event. I shot their engagement shoot in NYC back in November, and we have talked quite a few times since then, so I knew it was going to be a great wedding, with a fabulous couple. They did not disappoint. In fact, I think Courtney and Eddie win the most improved posers of the year award. Don’t get me wrong, they did a great job at the engagement shoot but it was clear to me that they learned a lot from that shoot, and did a fantastic job at the wedding. I really appreciate it too, because it makes my job so much easier, and frees me up to concentrate more on creative things.
I try to help my brides and grooms in any way possible, and often end up recommending other vendors, especially when the couple live out of town and don’t really know anyone. I tip my hat to Courtney for taking full advantage of this and aligning herself with most of the best vendors in the area. First, the bridal party had their hair done at Julie Stone’s Salon. Julie is one of my all time favorite brides (she is the bride in the image that won the PDN Grand Prize for me). She is also one of the classiest, nicest people I know. Makeup artist extraordinaire Kris Kellogg from Makeup on Demand (M.O.D.) took over next. Then Nicole Boosembark- Event planning manager for the Statler Hotel at Cornell University made sure everything went as smooth as possible. Last but not least, and to top things off, the DJ was none other than the amazing, highly energetic, and very talented Nicky Wood. As always, Nicky made sure everyone got his or her groove on!
I know a lot of you have been waiting for this one, me too, and I appreciate your patience, and understanding. The slideshow is a little long (again sorry for having to repeat the song, but I am using the first dance song for Courtney and Eddie, and feel that it makes it more special that way) because there are so many awesome images. This post took about four days to pull together, so please kick back, relax, and enjoy the show. As always, click on an image to see it larger, and here is the link to their slideshow.
Thanks again Courtney, Eddie, and everyone for making it such a joy to do this with you. Best wishes, now and always.
Edit 7/19/07 Courtney and Eddie are the "Wedding of the Week" in the NY Post today. The nice thing too is that makes three of my couples that have been in the Post so far, with two of them being chosen as the Wedding of the week.
