Samantha + Matt

Posted in E-Sessions ok, lemme see the bye bye 6 comments

I met up with Samantha and Matt in Central Park for their engagement session. We had a beautiful day with lots of sun and plenty of places to shoot! It was great getting to know Samantha and Matt better too! At one point I had them set up for a shot when I see this little dog wander into the frame. Samantha was so entranced looking into Matt’s eyes that she didn’t notice. I watched as it got closer and closer to Sam’s foot, until it eventually rubbed up against her ankle. Sam FREAKED!!!! It was SO hilarious. She thought it was a rat! Now, I’ve seen some rats in NYC that look like they are binge eaters on steroids, but this little dog was even too big to be a rat even by New York City standards. Anyway, we all had a good laugh about it. I had a great time spending the day with you guys in the park, and I can’t wait to shoot your wedding in October!

Erin + Rick

Posted in *Weddings ok, lemme see the bye bye 13 comments

Ok, this had to be, hands down, THE hottest wedding I have ever photographed! In fact, I think I overheard one of the groomsmen dub Erin and Rick’s day as “the swedding”! Everyone took it in stride though, and I know the 2010 wedding season isn’t over yet, but I’m almost certain Erin and Rick will get “Troopers” of the year award. They gave me plenty of time with them regardless of the heat and we totally rocked it out! They had a short but sweet, and totally beautiful outdoor ceremony in the courtyard of the Betsy Ross House in Philadelphia. And the reception was right next door in the uber cool venue, Trust, which is an old school bank which now is a wedding venue. The night was spent with family and friends sharing some wonderful food and plenty of dancing as well! Congratulations you two!

R E = Rick + Erin!

I love this shot of Erin’s sister getting emotional during the end of the ceremony.

I had to work in another ring shot using the table made of lemons!

Lisa Longpre - OMG these are truly the best pictures I have ever seen. Just priceless. I have two more daughters and a son and wish you could photograph their weddings someday (would you travel to MI?) I can’t thank you enough for all the great pictures

Erin and Rick - WOW. I love the pictures Todd. I admit I have been blog stalking, and seeing the pictures now just makes my day!! They are amazing, and I cannot wait to see the rest of them! Thank you so much for capturing our day!

Jillian Longpre - These pictures look amazing! I was so impressed with you and your staff for being so eager to capture every moment. You were all truly top notch photographers and many guests noticed how you were always there to capture all of the memories.
A lot of hard work, laughter, tears and of course SWEAT went into this day and now your pictures will allow us to remember all of it forever. Thanks again for being a part of this special day for Erin and Rick.

jay - Todd, you always have something new each time!

Alexis - These are absolutely beautiful pictures! Can’t wait to see which ones Erin and Rick will choose.

Allison - Hooray! These are absolutely lovely. You managed to catch some wonderful moments.

Brian - Great pictures! Tom needs to quit his job and become a rock star.

Heidi Zeto - Wow, is right… I can’t believe the photos. Simply amazing. Wish I would had this group of photographers at my wedding almost eight years ago. Maybe we’ll have to renew our vows? Can’t wait to see the rest of them!

CAROLINA LEE - Such white hot photos! BEST EVER SEEN, good enough to wanna make “fall in love all over again to whoever so as to take such exceptional photos” ERIN&RICK Share your joy. Singapore is in dire need of your photos as advertising materials to improve the statistics on marriage. It’s most appropriate as our National Flower, the Orchid was featured.(Dr) Mark Phong was your part-time model! haha

Summer - These are phenomenal photos! It helps when the bride and groom are so photogenic. Love you guys and love the photos!

Gail Farber - I wasn’t able to attend the wedding but you’ve done an extraordinary job of capturing the beauty of the event and the beauty inside and out of these two wonderful people. Thank you.

Denise Sinclear Todd - WOW! Fantastic! Awesome! I have never seen any pictures like them! Erin and Rick you should be professional models. Everything was done so classy and professional!

KELLY SONG CHANG - These are stunning! Fantabulous eye for capturing the spirit of the moment, the joy of Erin and Rick’s life together. What a great way to remember such a wonderful weekend and start to a new shared life for Erin and Rick. Sweet!

Nina + Ken

Posted in *Weddings ok, lemme see the bye bye 7 comments

Nina and Kens wedding day was one of those SCORCHING HOT + HUMID days we seem to be having a lot of this summer in New Jersey. Ouch! I didn’t hear any complaints from anyone though, and for those following the blog, the new short sleeve black T’s are turning out to be a big win on these hot days! Nina and Ken both got ready at the Borgata in Atlantic City. They had this great frosted glass wall in the lobby that was awesome for photography! And although it was tucked away and didn’t interfere with the casino, management isn’t too keen on photography in its casino! We did what we could in a limited amount of time, and it turned out great regardless! Nina and Ken had a fantastic wedding day, and judging by all the smiles on their faces throughout the day, I think it’s safe to say that they had a blast as well! Congratulations you two!

I love that little sun flare “orb” surrounding their hands during the ceremony.

Martha’s Vineyard 2010 | Teasers

Posted in Personal Work ok, lemme see the bye bye 10 comments

I just got back from a wonderful vacation from Martha’s Vineyard with my family. We had an amazing time together and I can’t wait to blog it. However, I am behind on blogging weddings so this will have to be put on the back burner for now. So, I will only post a few for now, but will certainly revisit this down the road!

I couldn’t believe how vivid the stars were out where we were staying. This was taken about 50 yards from the “Writer’s Cottage” we rented, which was right on Deep Bottom Pond. Those splashes were from me throwing rocks into the water during a long exposure and lighting them with my head lamp.
