Wagner College Engagement Session in Staten Island

9/10/11 seems like a very easy date to remember, right? Well, that’s the day that Jenna and Doug picked for their wedding, and I’m pretty sure that both of them will have no issues remembering their anniversary date, or the day that Doug proposed to Jenna during  a METS game! For their engagement session, Jenna and Doug picked Wagner College in Staten Island as their location because of the long history associated with that place (Jenna graduated from Wagner and is actually working there now) and its close proximity to Clove Lakes Park baseball field :). Both share a passion for baseball and are devoted METS fans! Here are some pictures from their engagement session.

Looking forward to 9/10/11 for their wedding day!

Can you tell that they are Mets fans?

Giando on the Water – Wedding of Joiada and Chris

From the very beginning we met Joiada and Chris, we knew that their wedding day will be a one to remember! Not a lot of people in the North East of US want to gamble with the weather predictions and plan their wedding for March. Especially after the last two winters, you could expect anything. For Joiada and Chris the gamble paid off with beautiful blue skies and sunny day. It was just barely above the freezing point, but even the cold temperatures couldn’t damper Joida’s spirit. I must admit, she must have been one of the most anxious brides we had so far, literally counting down months, then days, followed by hours to their wedding day. On March 25, Joiada married her soul mate Chris. We had a wonderful time spending Friday with Joiada and Chris and their families, friends and fantastic wedding party. Some of the guests of the wedding we already knew from Jamie and Carmine’s wedding last November. The wedding ceremony was held at the very beautiful Sacred Heart Church in Staten Island followed by a brief visit to Prospect Park for pictures, only to be followed even faster by the arrival at the wedding reception: Giando on the Water. Even though the outside temperatures were cold, inside the wedding hall, things were on fire. Stunning bridal couple, beautiful people, amazing atmosphere produced one memorable night. Here are some pictures from the day.
