Allison & Dave: Westin Governor Morris Wedding Photography (New Jersey)

Ryan — Tue, 21 May 2013 18:53:55 +0000

What a great couple and a fun day… Allison and Dave were married at the Westin Governor Morris in New Jersey. At the church ceremony, the priest had everyone laughing… I’ll have to go back to the video footage and watch it again. Lovely ceremony with some nice readings, and Allison’s brother sang a song… he has an amazing voice. Following that, the party bus headed for the Westin, but not before Allison and Dave stopped at a bridge for some pictures. They had to cross that bridge to get to each other’s house, so it was symbolic to them.

Also at this wedding was our brand new photobooth… if you haven’t yet seen it, check out www.PictureYourselfPhotobooths.com or visit the facebook page. It’s the best photobooth around, and we already won Best Photobooth in New York and New Jersey with it. Better images and more fun than any we’ve seen previously.

Here are some teasers from the big day. More going up on the facebook page later tonight as well, so check that out also.

Enjoy!

Melissa and Alex: Larchmont Engagement Session (Westchester/Rockland Wedding Photography)

Ryan — Wed, 15 May 2013 16:31:58 +0000

Melissa and Alex picked a great location for their engagement session, and we got there right before sunset. The session went beautifully, and these guys were really great. We’re very much looking forward to their wedding out on Long Island next month at Oceanbleu… we’re fortunate enough to be shooting photos and video for their day.

Enjoy some teasers of this session. As I said to Melissa, the hard part was picking what images to leave off of the blog post, since we had so many great images to choose from.

Chrissy & Dan: The View On The Hudson Wedding Photography (Piermont, NY)

Ryan — Thu, 09 May 2013 03:57:09 +0000

We had a great time shooting Chrissy and Dan’s wedding at the always lovely View On The Hudson in Piermont, NY. Deanna and Rochelle from LaBella Salon were on the scene in the morning for hair and makeup, doing a great job and keeping everything on schedule… which is so important on the wedding day! Chrissy and Dan are big football fans, so we had to get a shot with an actual football… so if you’re wondering what you’re looking at in the ring shot, now you know. :)

We love shooting by the water with the view of the hudson river. Here are some teaser images from their big day!

Enjoy!

Glen Island Wedding Videography: Sal and Joey

Ryan — Thu, 09 May 2013 00:36:31 +0000

What an amazing day! Joey & Sal’s wedding was full of color and life, energy and love, family and friends. I’ve known Joey since Elementary School and it was so great getting to capture his wedding day! The dancing was awesome as you can see in the video. Glen Island Harbour Club in New Rochelle is beautiful and one of our favorite venues. All the best Joey & Sal!

Elana and Mike: Engagement Session (Glen Island Harbour Club Wedding Photography)

Ryan — Tue, 07 May 2013 17:50:04 +0000

We’re definitely looking forward to Elana and Mike’s wedding at Glen Island… that’s always a fun venue to shoot at. Another great location to get great images is in Washington, D.C. In this case, since we’re not close enough to D.C., we had our good friend Okello Dunkley shoot this session near where Elana and Mike live. Okello regularly teaches classes throughout the country on how to use your DSLR… you can check out his facebook page and see more if you’re interested…

So again, we’re looking fowrard to seeing Elana and Mike soon… and special thanks to Okello for filling in for us since we’re so far from D.C. Great job, of course!

Here are some images from their session.

Jenny & Raj: Rockland County Wedding Photography

Ryan — Mon, 06 May 2013 00:19:21 +0000

This was a beautiful backyard wedding ceremony for Jenny and Raj in Blauvelt, NY… this was a bit last minute (and when I say a bit, I mean extremely last minute) but we were happy to lend a hand and be a part of this beautiful wedding celebration. This wedding was complete with two different ceremonies and it was all very touching. Keith shot the majority of the day, as I had to head over to an engagement session that we already had scheduled, but we both enjoyed the opportunity to shoot this fun couple. This was all being streamed live to family around the world, which was pretty cool. Oh, and she asked for a shoe shot at the end of the night, and I was, of course, happy to oblige.

Here are some teasers of the day!

Caitlin and Jeffrey: Wedding Videography at The Paramount in New City (Rockland County Wedding Video)

Ryan — Sat, 13 Apr 2013 06:16:24 +0000

Such a perfect day for a wedding… the weather was perfect… the grounds of The Paramount were lovely, and we had such a cool couple with Caitlin and Jeffrey. Lots of thought went into all the aspects of their day… and as you might be able to tell, they are big fans of Scrabble.

I know not everyone hires a cinematographer for their wedding day… but without that, there are some truly memorable moments that you’ll miss out on. Photos and video are equally important and do separate jobs. Having a wedding film will allow you to relive the day and the emotions in a way that you can’t do with just the photos. You can’t hear the officiant performing the actual marriage… you can’t hear yourselves saying the vows, and as you can hear, the audio we capture is pristine. And without the film, you’d miss out on speeches, on dances, on so many aspects of the day… and believe me, as someone who has been married for 15 years, you want those memories in the end, and you’ll want to be able to share them. As Caitlin said after watching the highlights of her day “This is absolutely beautiful. You and Keith truly captured all of the emotions of the day! We love reliving it through the video.”

In the end, this was an amazing wedding for a beautiful couple… here is their highlights film showing off their day.

Enjoy!

The Rockleigh in New Jersey: Valerie and Christian Wedding Videography

Ryan — Sat, 13 Apr 2013 05:50:22 +0000

Valerie and Christian had a beautiful outdoor ceremony at The Rockleigh in Rockleigh, NJ. The weather was so respectful that the rain that was slated for the day held off until the end of cocktail hour, giving us enough time to do all that we needed to do outside.

Such a fun couple and such a great wedding. Oh, and Action Entertainment kept the ‘club’ jumpin’ all night long.

Enjoy some video highlights from their wedding day!

Lauren & Joe: New York Country Club Wedding Videography (New Hempstead, Rockland County, NY)

Ryan — Tue, 19 Mar 2013 22:04:46 +0000

We were so happy to be a part of Lauren & Joe’s wedding… it was really beautiful and they were such a great couple. We had met them the previous year at Caitlin and Ryan’s wedding and we were honored that they chose us to capture their wedding in film and photos. Their wedding party was so much fun and the reception was, as you can see, booming! We had such a blast capturing their special day.

All the best!
