…who will be getting married on Saturday at Holy Family Catholic Church in Flushing, New York and will party afterwards at the La Dolce Vita – Leonard’s in Long Island. So excited to document this couple’s wedding. The ceremony will be rich in traditional Filipino wedding rituals.

Check out this photo I shot in Times Square for their engagement shoot. What a fun couple to shoot!

…who will be tying the knot today at The Church of Saint Joseph in Bronxville, NY. The reception follows at the VIP Country Club in New Rochelle, NY. It’s going to be a lovely day for a wedding.

We met Jaclyn and Johnny through our previous client Meredith from her wedding last year. They are a sweet couple and they chose The Catholic University of America in Washington DC, where they met while going to school, as their engagement session venue. We also went around DC to capture some images showing the beauty of DC at night….check out this image form their engagement.

So excited to shoot Mary’s wedding this Saturday. It’s going to be a “platinum wedding” at the Four Seasons Hotel in Philadelphia.

Mary and Joe are an exemplary couple! Love working with them through out their wedding planning process. Their engagement session was a blast. I took them to Longwood Gardens and even Joe got that GQ moves at the end. LOL

Check them out…

Love this GQ pose of Joe and Vouge Mag pose by Mary. =)

Love this shot of them just spending happy moments together.

Stay-tuned for their wedding pictures here this week….

…they are tying the knot at The Villa in Mountain Lakes in New Jersey on Friday. Can’t wait to document the wedding of this cute couple, whose engagement session I did in Central Park and Times Square in New York. It’s going to be a nice day on their wedding day! Thank God for a great weather!

Sweetness!

Congrats Ken and Corinne…wish you all the blessings of a happy marriage!

….who will tie the knot this Saturday along the beach of Avalon, NJ at the Golden Inn Hotel and Resort. I’ve shot here before and this place is amazing!

Erica and John are a cute couple and shooting their engagement photos in Avalon, NJ was kind of a good practice for their wedding day. Can’t wait, it’s supposed to be a beautiful day!

Check out these sunset photos of their engagement shoot…

The cloud formations in Avalon are to die for…hope we get the same ones this Saturday. =)

Love this shot…it’s almost like them walking towards their destiny together. Awwwww….LOL

Got to show off the “bling-bling”. Wishing Erica and John a happy wedding day this Saturday!

Make sure you check back on Monday to see some of the images from their wedding day.

Bride and Groom - Michele and Josh

One of the most fun couple I’ve ever worked with. Michele is full of life and despite the rain on her wedding day, all you can see in her face is her lovely smile. The couple met while Michele was attending Villanova University and Josh was attending St. Joseph University – two rival schools. Though both of their schools often get into a “holy war”, this couple found love with each other. Congrats to both Michele and Josh, and I wish you guys the best in your relationship!

Ceremony- St. Thomas of Villanova, Villanova, PA

Love the architecture of this church. Thanks to Father Dan Joyce, SJ and Father Francis Devlin, OSJ – both friends of their families, for being so accommodating during the ceremony.

Reception- Ballroom at The Ben, Philadelphia, PA

Amazing place for weddings! The staff is super nice and food prepared by Finley Catering is absolutely superb. Great job guys! But most of all the place is just a picture perfect place for an elegant wedding party!

To start out, here’s a picture from their engagement shoot – showing their St. Joe and Villanova Love.

Gorgeous bride getting ready for her big day…

It rained that whole morning, and I kept praying it will stop so we can have some outdoor photos at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. And my prayers were answered! Yay!

Despite the rain on her wedding day, Michele is still a happy bride…

While at the Art Museum, got to shoot at the Rocky Statue….one of the many the symbols of the city of Philadelphia.

The Ballroom at The Ben in Philadelphia, PA is one of the best picture-perfect reception venue in the city for an elegant wedding. I had so much fun photographing this place during Michele’s wedding.

Love this shot of Michele and Josh…very stylish, very magazine-like.

Stay tune for more images from Michele and Josh’s wedding to be available on www.pictage.com in a few weeks.

…who will be tying the knot at Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church in Seattle, WA on Saturday and will party at Shilshole Bay Beach Club after the ceremony. So excited for their BIG DAY, it’s going to be a lot of fun!

Check out their engagement photos….

We flew to Seattle the first week of April to shoot the engagement photos of Chricelle and Brian, whose wedding we are also shooting this June in Seattle , WA. Got to tell you, this couple are great troopers! Despite the challenges of the shoot – 30 MPH gust PLUS pouring rain, they managed to hang with me for the whole duration of the shoot. Their efforts paid off…love those shots especially those shot in the rain….even when I got soaking wet. Hehehehe….

We had about ten minutes of “sun break” when we got to the famous Pike Place Public Market in downtown Seattle. So we hurried up to shoot something that says Seattle in the background. Then the next minute…RAIN!

What you don’t see in this shot below is the 30 MPH wind that was blowing on Chricelle’s hair. Thank God for this sculpture entitled “Changing Form” by Doris Chasein, in the middle of Kerry Park. I used it to block the wind and frame the beautiful scenery overlooking the city of Seattle and the famous Space Needle.

Kudos to Chricelle and Brian for surviving the whole duration of the shoot. We shot most of these in between pouring rain. I salute all Seattle photographers, who have to shoot most of the time in this situation.

And let me end with one of my favorite photos from the shoot….though I was soaking wet after this, I know it was worth standing under the pouring rain to capture this sweet moment between this amazing couple! Congrats Chricelle and Brian, can’t wait for your BIG DAY in June. I am missing Seattle already.

Make sure come back to this blog on Sunday to see their wedding photos from our LIVE PHOTO BLOGGING!

…who will be getting married today at Hotel Dupont in Wilmington, DE. I shot their engagement photos in Washington DC where the couple spend most of their time. They live in Virginia and work in DC. Can’t wait to shoot the wedding of this awesome couple!

iPhone lovers, move over…because this couple love their Blackberries. They said it’s very typical of Ryan and Kirsten to be seen with their blackberry 24/7….LOL

One of my favorites from their shoot. We got lucky seeing the sunset along the Potomac River in DC.

…who are tying the knot today at Greate Bay Country Club in Somers Point, New Jersey. Thank God for a great weather…perfect for a beach wedding. Stay tuned for more images from my “LIVE WEDDING PHOTO BLOGGING”.

I shot their engagement photos near their new home in Middlesex County, NJ (South Amboy area). This couple is so fun to shoot, and I am looking forward to their wedding today!
