Debra & Timmy are Newly Wed!

I knew I was in for a great wedding when I originally booked Tim and Debra, but after seeing them dancing all night recently at Megan and Chris' wedding, I was sure their wedding would be amazing to shoot.

Debra's makeup looked stunning. Stacy is a talented and experienced makeup artist and just made Debra bride beautiful.



Debra's sister recently had a beautiful baby so pictures with the newest family member were a plenty throughout the day. I like this one in particular.



I often say shooting bridal preparations is probably my favorite of the day. The excitement of the anticipation is just a great moment, as you can see here.



Debra was cool, calm and beautiful.



Moving to outside portraits to shoot even more flattering light.



Debra and Tim decide to see each other before the ceremony for photos and this just has to be one of the most adorable "first time seeing each other" sequences ever!









Timmy taking in his bride....and liking what he sees.



So much so that he needed a touch up?! Ha.



This is how I like to do my family photographs. Fun and lots of love.



Hard to keep the camera away from this little peanut.



With proud aunt and uncle.



Cool guys shot at a cool angle.



Trying something beyond "bride and groom in the middle and line up around them" bridal party shot.



Onto portraits of the happy couple.



Love this happy shot.



Something tells me this couple has many years of laughing and smiling ahead of them.



Even though Deb and Tim are not even looking at each other in this image, I like it because they are still smiling, just taking in the day.



Tim is very natural in front of the camera.



Thank you, sky, for being such a beautiful blue.



Ah, romance. Just can't get enough of it.



Dips not cued by me are the best.



LOVE this shot. Debra and Tim, PLEASE frame this and keep it displayed in your home forever!! ;-)



Onto the Venetian Yacht Club in Bayshore, Long Island for more photos before the ceremony. Can't beat being on the water on a gorgeous day.



"Ignore me, I'm not here" is what I tell all my couples.



Posing this would never come out as special.



Some more real moments.







Time for the ceremony. Good planning with the fans and also a pretty decor piece.



Playing around with the program graphic.



This moment is all dad's (well let's say mostly dad's.)



Jaw dropping ceremony site.



One of the many highs of the day....married!



Can't help getting back to the baby....and just love the priceless joy in grandpa's face here.



You can tell there's a lot of love behind this congratulatory hug.



The Venetian Yacht Club puts on an impressive cocktail hour....the food was outrageous and beautifully presented as well.



Best man's speech during a twilight blue sky in a room with great ambiance.



And the party begins. Both bride and groom were on the dance floor all night.







As you can see by these next two photos, Tim is definitely his father's son.





A table of cousins even gets into the dinner music. I loved this!



Who doesn't love the tarantella?





Cake and kissing. Two wonderful things.



A special dance with dad.



Dancing with mom. Couldn't you just cry? God bless all the mothers who dance with their sons on their wedding day. For personal reasons (I have a little boy), this has to be my favorite shot of the day. My son is only a toddler but you just know that little boy image is what mom is holding onto.



Debra and Tim, a HUGE thank you for having me as part of your day! I truly enjoyed being there and capturing your special moments. xoxo
