Annemarie & Shawn | Wedding

I know we have been talking about chilly-weathered photo shoots lately, but this one we were VERY cautious of since it was our first wedding of the year - in the first week of January!  You may remember this couple from a post a few weeks back - their engagement shoot. Luckily, Anne and Shawn had an unusually comfortable day where we were even able to do family portraits outside without everyone freezing.  They got married at Cure of Ars church in Merrick, which had lovely details and a beautiful yard for portraits after.  Then everyone partied into the night at the Riviera in Massapequa, also a beautifully detailed location.  Both places left their holiday decor up for the couple, which added a cozy wintery feel.  Congrats to Annemarie and Shawn, may you have 1,000 years of happiness!!

Alexis | Portraits

Yet again, we had a brave soul enduring the cold in the name of creativity!  Alexis is having her Sweet 16 party later this month and wanted some portraits taken prior to the event.  She was AMAZING in front of the camera (and is a photographer herself), had tons of poses that we didn't even have to suggest to her, plus is a beautiful woman.  Ahhh...to be 16 again, what a wonderful moment in life!

Jessica & Tom | Engagement

We met Jessica a few months ago (it was difficult to arrange a meeting with both of them), and they chose us as their photographers...so we were excited to meet them as a COUPLE this time for their e-shoot.  We also had the pleasure of meeting Stephanie Coiro, their wedding coordinator from Create New Order - very excited to collaborate with her on J+T's wedding as well as future events!  We ALL met at Coindre Hall, where Jessica and Tom are getting married.  Since it was a VERY chilly day, we kept it all inside and were wary of being too repetitious with photos for their wedding day.  This place has so many beautiful nooks and crannies that we were able to do a lot of different looks with them as well as save a lot for the big day.  We loved meeting them ALL and are excited for their wedding, when it will be warmer out!
