Carol & Ed’s Shabby Chic Wedding

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

We created a shabby chic wedding theme for Carol & Ed’s wedding day at Perona Farms in Andover, NJ.  The eye candy photos below are from Mariann at Blue Daisy Weddings - she is such a talented photographer and always a dream to work with.  The pink and violet color palette was started with these spectacular invitations by Inky Livie. Florals were done by Stem and Company and featured a mixture of crystal and silver vessels gathered from antique shops and flea markets to really emphasize the shabby chic theme.  The beautiful violet pintuck linens set off the vibrant centerpieces and were courtesy of Laurie at Cloth Connection.

Sachiko Yanase worked her magic and did fantastic hair and makeup for all of the ladies and the super-friendly Mike Burns from Infinite Video captured the day on video as it unfolded. Marge Fitts provided the angelic harp music for the ceremony and cocktail hour and DJ Medina had the guests dancing all evening. The night closed with a jaw-dropping fireworks display by Celebration Fireworks.

5 Tips for Engagement Pictures

Tuesday, December 9th, 2008

Who better than a professional photographer to give you tips on how to take amazing engagement pictures?  We recently contacted some of NYC’s most sought-after photographers for their tips on what to wear in your engagement pictures, how to choose your location and how to be comfortable during your session.

  1. Stick to solid colors, no distracting patterns – perhaps a splash of color but not too much as it will be a distraction. (Casey, Fatchett Photography)
  2. Casual is a plus.  Being able to sit or even lie on the ground can add a variety of shots. (Spencer Lum, 5 West Studios)
  3. Think classic.  You want pictures that you can hang in your home for years to come. (Michael, Michael Meyer Photo)
  4. Even if you want heels for your pictures, bring a pair of flats for walking in between locations. (Mariann, Blue Daisy Weddings)
  5. Don’t focus too much on your location, some of the best photos I’ve done were taken in a parking lot! (Sophia Jasnowski, Fotofia)

The last piece of advice comes from Sophia of Fotofia… “What matters in the shot is YOU, the couple, in love with each other.”  Check back on Thursday for some of the photographers’ all-time favorite engagement shots!

Pictures: Before or After?

Monday, December 8th, 2008

Ok brides…here’s an important question that requires your advice!  What are your thoughts on pictures – before or after the ceremony?  Should you take pictures before the ceremony and sacrifice the “seeing her walk down the aisle” moment?  OR should you take pictures after the ceremony and miss some of the cocktail hour?

What do you think?
