A very long day, the ceremony was at 1pm and the cocktail hour at 7pm. I had some time to do photos. All day we were fighting rain and lighting. This was the first wedding to be held at the Caryle on the green which was the sight of last weeks U.S open Golf Championship in Bethpage NY. I hope you enjoy
Sorry been out of touch super crazy busy after The PDN Virtual Show. this was a great day. I love working in the Vineyards .
This is about the 10 person I have done in this family. They just booked about a month ago. I did the Brides brother last October. They are a super nice family. The bride was about 6 months along and was very nervous about showing. i am happy with results. She was a great subject.

Hey everybody, I just want to thank all of you for your record breaking attendance at today's keynote address i did. It was very exciting. We had over 1900 attendees. Because of the great response we will be putting these 3 segments from today online sometime tonight hopefully for you to view. I am sorry for how fast we had to go through things, but as you can imagine, we had a lot of info to squeeze into a half hour spot. Awesome though

I have actually been here two days already, but tonight I got to live out a little dream . As most of you know I have felt for sometime I was meant to be on stage as a performer. Well tonight at downtown Disney they were having a LITTLE DANCE PARTY, ACTUALLY NOT SO LITTLE ROUGHLY 1000 PEOPLE AND THEY PICKED THREE PEOPLE TO COMPETE AGAINST EACH OTHER AND THEY SELECTED A SONG FOR EACH. Somehow I got picked without volunteering. Here it is my Broadway debut. Well in my head it was. My luck they picked Michael Jackson's Billie Jean. A crowd, Michael Jackson and me. What can go wrong. I never really tell anybody this, but as a kid, I loved Michael Jackson's Thriller Album and Videos so my parents got me dance lessons to learn Billie Jean and Thriller. So with that said it was a match made in heaven. I went crazy I will have pictures over the next couple days that will make you cry. The good news is the crowd went crazy and I won. I am a star. It was just meant to be.........
Well now I have an excuse for being absent from the blog. I am overwhelmed as are most people from starting construction this past week. As you can tell from the photos. The building so desperately need a face lift. We are doing beautiful Culture stone on the front all new signage and boxes . Just a complete new look I will keep you updated Wish me luck
I met Melissa a couple of weeks ago at my Spring Blasts class. She was a student and asked me to do her wedding. It was a big honor. I was fortunate enough to be joined by 4 of her peers she works with. It was a great day. The wedding was in Hershey, Pa. It took us about three hours each way. But well worth it for the Hershey Chocolate I received from the Bride as a gift
2nd wedding of the day, I actually attended this wedding as a guest with my lovely wife after I was done shooting. It was like a date night. A tired date night but it was great just to relax.
1st of 2 weddings for the day Great couple!
