Ok so i’m a bit late in posting this one. I’ve been sick over the last week and i didn’t have the energy to do much, the shipment of proofs that came in today are all out of order. I just spent the last 6 hours of my life trying to put the proofs in chronological order, it looked like someone at the lab decided to shuffle my proofs, not fun.But anyway, i decided to do something a bit different with this one. Instead of posting about 10 images, i decided to post a complete album design for you guys covering just about the entire day. No fancy stuff here, no look what i can do but rather an album design that a client will purchase, including all the traditional poses that clients expect. So about the wedding, well it was held over at St Catherine’s and George, hmmm i’ve been there often lately and will be going back at the end of this month for a baptism. And the reception was held at the Westbury Manor.
Keep it real
Little things in life are never noticed. Little things in life are sometimes ignored. Little things in life last a lifetime.
My favorite image from last weeks wedding, more to come in a few days.
Keep it real
Anastasias and Chris’s wedding day finally arrived and what an energetic couple they were. The day was stress free, stunning but the weather was cold. But their family and friends had such a love for the day that i don’t think that anyone really cared. The ceremony was held at St. Catherine’s Greek Orthodox Church in Astoria, and the reception for the festivities at Leonard’s of Great Neck. Oh let’s not forget about Bravo Sounds that provided the entertainment for the night.
Since we are in the off season, it’s a bit quite on the blog front, but I thought I would share with you a wedding day tip.
Your wedding day is going to be filled with many beautiful and emotional moments that will make your wedding like nobody else’s. One of these precious moments is the first dance, so I have a wedding day tip for you.
Let it be about you and your husband, after all its your day, it’s your time to shine so don’t share the first dance. Instead have a second song for the bridal party, the parents and your guests to join in the festivities. Now here is why, the average song that is played during the first dance is a bit over 3 minutes, from a photography perspective this is the amount of time I have to capture all of my images that will make your first dance yours. Now if you cut the first dance in half and permit the bridal party, parents and guests to join in, the average amount of time I will have is a minute and a half to do this in, think about it 90 seconds. Again this is just a tip, I always do my best for my clients no matter how much time I have during any portion of the day. So what do you guys think?
In closing off the last wedding of the 2007 season, I had the opportunity in shooting Elaine and Tom’s wedding. Now this wasn’t your usual huge Greek wedding but rather a smaller but yet extremely elegant affair. Now that we are 2008 my first wedding will be in February so until then i will share some specials moments from this years baptisms in the next couple of posts. Until then, keep it real.

On the coldest day thus far, I had the opportunity to shoot the wedding of the uber cool couple Eirini and Irakli. Their wedding ceremony was once again held at The Greek Orthodox Cathedral of St. Paul in Hempsted. And when it was time to get down and wiggle it we had a cool time over at the North Ritz Club in Long Island.
Well now we can’t forget about the Jimmy Choo’s
My clients love me so much, that they even order pastries with my initials on them. 
And yes, we want some cake……
Ok I’m finally getting around to post some images from Katerina and Michael’s wedding, I know its long over do but I’m catching up. This elagent affair was held in the Skylight room at the Sandcastle in Long Island and the ceremony was held at the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of St Paul in Hepmstead NY. So without me yapping that much let’s get to the pictures.
It’s awesome when vendors give back, and as such they should be noted. I would like to give a big shout out to the fine folks at Milo Paper for doing such. So if you are in the market for Greeting Cards, Holiday Cards, Announcement cards and Invitations make sure you check out Milo Paper.Â

Wow what an amazing year it has been and by the looks of it next year will be even better. I still have to blog about a few more weddings by the end of this year so hopefully I can finish the edits and post them up.
As this holiday season is fast approaching us I have decided to limit the number of appointments I will be making before the end of the year, for those that are still sitting on the fence now is the time to call me.
As of December 10, 2007 I will not be making any new appointments until January 7, 2008. Sorry folks but I need some me time, and most of all to spend a relaxing holiday season with my family.
I still have a few remaining dates available for 2008 so if you haven’t decided yet, well that is bad, make it quick. As of today I still haven’t open my 2009 calendar yet so all dates are still available so keep an eye on my blog to find out when I will be accepting 2009 weddings. I’ll give you all a hint are you ready, roses, chocolates and hearts oh my….

Occasionally I have this wonderful opportunity to photograph and capture the special moments that occur at ones engagement party, I had this opportunity at Anastasia’s and Apostoli’s event. I had a wonderful time photographing this event and getting to meet most people that will be attending their wedding. Guys until then keep it real. So now lets get to the pictures, here are some of my favorites.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

As always I try to capture those special and emotional moments.
