Merideth and Scott        Hotel DuPont

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

The Couple: Merideth Azzari and Scott Cassaday
Getting Ready: The Brides farm house in NJ
Ceremony: Evangelical Methodist Church-Clarksboro, NJ
Pics of Couple, Bridal Party and Families: Brides parents farm in NJ
Reception: The Hotel DuPont, Wilmington, DE
What I remember most about Merideth and Scott’s Wedding Day: Merideth and Scott make a GREAT couple, so cute together. Merideth and the girls were fun and easy to work with. I really enjoyed the time we spent on your family farm!. I LOVED the natural setting and the rural backgrounds. We had a very nice day! The weather was mild and not to cold. Merideth was prepared to go outside, she had her special wedding day winter boots! :) The reception of almost 250 guests was an affair to remember, entertained by the sounds of Masquerade. Dancing, partying, great times!
Thank you, Merideth and Scott and your families. Betsy, you were so helpful and caring, always making sure betsy was looking her best! It was so nice working with you on your wedding day! And also a very special thanks to jillian Cournoyer and her staff from The Hotel DuPont for putting together and catering such a wonderful event. You and your staff made the Gold Ballroom a special place for Merideth and Scott on their wedding day! They spent their honeymoon in Hawaii enjoying the sun and the breathtaking islands.
Thank you both for taking care of us and we wish you the best! We look forward to working on your wedding album!

Chelsea and Kevin’s Holiday Card

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

I photographed Chelsea and Kevin this past summer at Cape Henlopen State Park. It was a “get to know the couple” engagement shoot. They are the perfect couple for this setting! Great shots as the sun was setting in the bay! Kevin and Chelsea and Jana decided to create a Christmas card. Using a nice design, creative post production and high quality card stock Jana made a unique Holiday card just for Chelsea and Kevin. It was a hit among friends and family. They will be getting married at the Rehoboth Beach Country Club this July. Here is what they had to say after receiving their Christmas card order:

Jana,

“What can I say you all continue to amaze me! The Christmas card you designed for Kevin and I was absolutely AMAZING. Our friends and family were so impressed. Best card we have ever sent :) I just wanted to sincerely thank you for your hard work and beautiful design and for the beautiful photos taken by Mike. We are so looking forward to working with you on our wedding day. We know we won’t be disappointed! Keep up your unique work and many blessings for the New Year….”

Happy Holidays!

Hi Angelique,
“Everyone LOVES the thank you cards… so THANK YOU for the ‘thank you’ cards :)
They’re so awesome… especially the inside… so amazing!!
Hope you and everyone at the studio has a wonderful holiday. I know the photobook is on it’s way here… they tried to deliver it today but of course we were at work, so we’ll probably end up picking it up from Fed Ex sometime tomorrow or Saturday. Can’t wait to get it!!”

Soula and Lambros        Mallard Island Yacht Club, LBI

Monday, January 4th, 2010

The Couple: Soula Bekas and Lambros Lambrou
Getting Ready: Brides Home, Cherry Hill, NJ
Ceremony: St. Barbara Greek Orthodox Church- Toms River, New Jersey
Pics of Couple, Bridal Party and Families: At the Church
Reception: The Mallard Island Yacht Club-Long Beach Island, New Jersey
What I remember most about Soula and Lambros’s Wedding Day: Everyone wanted to have fun and party! Soula wanted the most special day of her life and she she got more then that! And they did, especially at the reception to the sounds of Nikos Koutras an authentic Greek Band. The day was one to remember not only the great time I had working with the lovely couple, Soula and Lambros but the severe weather also. A nor’easter hit the Jersey coast the day off the wedding. Rain on a wedding day symbolizes good luck, so this HEAVY RAIN means the best of luck. WOW! it was crazy wind and rain! We were right on the water! Families were lots of fun and the party was amazing! Greek dancing and money flying everywhere. Soula and Lambros travelled to the South of France where they hope to retire and live someday…..
Thank you, Soula and Lambros! And a very special thanks to Gina from the Mallard Island Yacht Club. You and your staff handled the guests and the weather in a calm and organized manner. Professional all the way!

Rebecca & Eric

Monday, December 21st, 2009

It has been a pleasure working with Rebecca and Eric and their families. I couldn’t believe that their wedding was finally here. Rebecca and Eric chose the beautiful Greenville Country Club for the site of their wedding celebration. The weather could have not been any more beautiful and the sunset was the greatest we experienced at Greenville yet. Linda from Greenville and Tara from EBE made the entire event flow smoothly and everyone enjoyed themselves.
We wish you all the best in your life together. Thank you for choosing us to document your day.

Ashley and Ron

Friday, December 18th, 2009

Ashley and Ron were married at St. Christopher’s Church in Gladwine, PA followed by a hip celebration at the Gulph Mills Golf Club in King of Prussia.
The guests and the couple truly enjoyed themselves to the beats of Strangers and the entire day was filled with emotion. I particularly loved the timing of the first dance. The sky could not have been any bluer. The events were captured on video by Dan from East Hill Video. Ashley and Ron and their families were a pleasure to work with. We wish you all the best in your life together.
