After a quick two-week break to during the holiday season, it was time to kick off 2014 with a bang. So, on the morning of January 4th I headed south to the Mid-Hudson region to capture the wedding day festivities of Meredith and Christopher. In spite of the frigid temperatures, photographically it was quite a beautiful day. Thanks mainly in part to a wonderful bridal party and a very strong willed bride and groom, we were able to shoot lots of outdoor footage along the banks of the historic Hudson River. Overall, this was an outstanding event from start to end. Thank you Meredith & Chris for allowing me the honor of capturing your wedding day. It was the perfect start to my 2014 wedding season!

This past weekend, during my last wedding of the 2013 season, I experienced another “first”.        It’s not something that happens too often nowadays, because over the years I’ve shot hundreds of outstanding weddings and seen an equal amount of tremendous ideas bought to life. In fact, I’ve seen everything from a seven foot wedding cake, to the couple arriving at their reception in a helicopter, and tons of other incredible things in between. However, until late Saturday evening during Stella and Matt’s wedding reception, I never imagined that I’d be witness to a full fireworks display in the middle of a snowstorm! Yes, not only did it happen, even more amazingly, scores of guests at the wedding withstood the 14 degree temperature and snow, which was falling at a rate of 2 inches per hour. So, I guess the lesson in this story is, often it’s worth it to hold firm to your original vision. Because even when major obstacles cross your path, things might ultimately turn out even better than expected. HEY STELLA… thanks for the lesson!
