THE RECEPTION.....WHEN THE FUN & MEMORIES START !

The reception is the part of the wedding that everyone , including the bride & groom, cannot wait for!!!

This is when the party starts! We always stay right  through the last dance , after all we enjoy the party also. This is the time when everyone relaxes and enjoys themselves. We have to opportunity to capture the bride & groom and their quest having a great time. Years from now these images/memories will be precious; seeing the parents on the dance floor, their favorite aunt or uncle doing the electric slide ( yes the still dance it at some weddings), their parents holding the very young niece or nephew in their arms, their friends dancing up a storm , all these candid moments that they will want to have.

So much fun for everyone including us and all that great music!!!

The Bohemian Hotel, Celebration, Florida

Celebration is a community developed by Disney, a master-planned community in Osceola County, Florida, United States, near Walt Disney World Resort . Celebration is part of the Orlando–Kissimmee Metropolitan Statistical Area. The population was 2,736 at the 2000 census, but as of 2010 is estimated to be more than 11,000 people.
 We were there this past weekend and I saw the reflection of the Bohemian Hotel in the Celebration Lake and knew I wanted to capture it.
I get emails asking for the tech info on some of these photographs and will start including them. 
So for those who have asked ; Photographed with my Nikon D300s, using the Nikon 17 - 55 lens at about 20mm, ISO 1200,1/5 second at F5.0
For your approval!!

Love In The Afternoon!!

My brother, Vinny and his wife, Susan visited us in Florida. This was taken at Epcot Center, one of the iconic (ionic if your from Boston) places to visit here in Florida. Vinny and Susan are very much in love and do not have a problem showing affection for each other.  I thought this picture was a great representation of their relationship. They are leaving today to go back to Boston and we will miss them.
This was taken with the Nikon 80 - 200 VR lens.

THE FATHER & DAUGHTER DANCE

One of the key moments during the wedding day is the father & daughter dance.

 Two of us photograph  the dance and we mix up the shots with full/three quarter views and close ups. We photograph over the father's shoulder to capture the bride's expressions and also over the brides shoulder to capture the father's expression. The use of  our long lens to photograph the dance is important because we do not want to intrude on their moment. These lens allow us to stand back and yet capture tight images of their faces.
