MARRIED: Elyse + Steve | Fox Hollow

August 3, 2012. Probably one of the hottest days we've had this summer but the heat didn't take the smile off the faces of these two lovebirds. After spending a lovely Spring afternoon with Elyse and Steve in Central Park for their engagement session, I was antsy for their wedding day to come. You can just tell by the way they interact that they genuinely love to spend time together. I love the way Steve could just say the simplest thing to Elyse and bring a smile to her face. Or the look of sheer contentment on Steve's face as he looks at Elyse and she is unaware he's looking. Thank you both for allowing me to capture the first day of the rest of your happy lives!

In LOVE with her shoes! Such a cute little detail.

Beautiful work from Designs By Rose - as always.

Amy from Radiance Makeup doing her thing.

Gifts from the future hubby and a heartfelt note to his future wifey.

Elyse helping her girls get zipped up and hooked. As she perfectly stated, "I'm a professional hooker". Oh Elyse =)

The girls are beautiful and ready to go!

Time for the dress.

Elyse is just stunning.

One last kiss from ma and pop before heading off to the church.

While delivering his homily, the priest also delivered some jokes to entertain the happy couple.

You may now kiss the bride - love this part.

Now that looks like a husband and wife.

The guys just absolutely crack me up in this photo.

Off to Fox Hollow for the reception. The venue did such an amazing job setting everything up and the food was phenomenal!

The best man and maid of honor deliver funny stories and words of wisdom to the bride and groom.

St. Josephs Hawks are #1!

Steve decked out in his finest kilt makes his grand entrance.

Tommy Tunes getting the party pumping all night long!

Parent dances - these always bring tears to my eyes.

The day's heat didn't stop this crew from enjoying the cigar bar.

LOVE what's happening in this photo right here.

Congratulations Elyse and Steve and thank you again for allowing me to capture your big day! So happy for you both =)

CAKE SMASH: Raymond Vincent

Last week, this adorable little man turned 1 year old. Well what birthday would be complete without a little shoot photo to show how much he's grown over the past year and a birthday cake to smash to bits!

Still can't believe he's one!

What a difference a year makes.

Time for some cake!

Way Up High

On our way down to AC and the Shore this weekend, we made our way through the city towards the Lincoln Tunnel. I didn't have much to do except sing every song on the radio very loudly to annoy my hubby (ain't I sweet) and admire all the NYC skyscrapers as we drove by.

Happy Birthday, Raymond Vincent!

One year ago today, Raymond Vincent lit up his parents' lives with his arrival.

And one year later, he's still making them and everyone around him smile.

HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY to one of the most amazing little boys I know!

On August 8, 2012, at exactly 1:48pm, my beautiful niece was born into this world! Jillian Francesca weighed in at 7lbs 5oz, measured 19.5 inches, and immediately stole our hearts.
