6 more weeks to go!

Until my baby nephew/niece arrives!  What better time for an impromptu belly shot than at a graduation party in the middle of a restaurant =)

One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish

Since my Dad can sometimes be difficult to shop for, this Father's Day my brother and I decided to go with a gift we knew he'd love - a night fishing trip for some stripe bass and blue fish.  So this past weekend, the three of us, along with my husband, headed out to City Island for our adventure aboard the Riptide III (the very same boat I had enjoyed many a booze cruise in previous years).  Although the fish were not very cooperative that evening (seriously, a boat full of 25 fisherman and only 5 fish caught in 6 hours!!!), that did not ruin our good time on one of the most beautiful nights to be on the water.

Three of my favorite boys.

Such a clear beautiful day to be on the water.

Sushi anyone?

I absolutely ADORE this photo of my father.  I think I see a framed photo gift for him the near future!

The sun begins to set - just beautiful!

One of the 5 fish caught that night (none of which were ours).

I'll end with this sunset.  I just look at it and instantly hear the opening song from "The Lion King".

Hot Sun and Water Guns

My godson's got the right idea.  What better way to beat this heat than to pump a few rounds out of the ol' arma de agua (thank you translator on my Mac).  Welcome back Summer!

MARRIED: Kim + Charlie | Giando on the Water

From the moment I met Kim and Charlie, it was like I had known them my whole life.  These two have such great personalities and had me and my partner-in-crime, Rosemarie Elizabeth Photography, in stitches the entire day!  I truly enjoyed every single minute spent with them on their big day.  These two have known each other for well over 13 years and you can tell they share a special bond with one another that couldn't even come close to breaking.

Their ceremony and reception where both held at Giando on the Water.  What a beautiful setting for a wedding! 

The beautiful work of Designs By Rose!  I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a florist for their wedding or any event!

The beautiful bride, Kim.

I absolutely love this photo (Kim blowing kisses to the sky for her Grandma).

Favors consisted of koozies with a bottle of wine for the adults and soda for the kiddies.

Have I mentioned how much I love these two?  The photo to the left cracks me up!

Kim and Charlie each share a dance with their proud parents.

Charlie's older brother is up to bat with his best man speech and definitely hit a home run.

The sun sets over the Brooklyn Bridge but the party still going strong!

And I will leave you with my favorite photo of the night of Charlie spins his bride around the dance floor.  Please note Kim's second reception dress and shoes and how much they rock!

Congratulations again to Kim and Charlie!  Thank you both so much for allowing me to share in your happiest of days!
