Long over due for another “best of ” post. I apologize for slacking. This ones pretty self explanatory, a collection of brides & one groom from 2007 getting ready. We normally don’t get these shots with the guys since there always ready when they arrive at the ceremony location. We love showing our getting ready stuff in B&W its kinda of a throw back from the days of film when we always shot our getting ready stuff on tri x 400 or even t max 3200 (I miss that grain).

Keep checking back soon for my next best of post… also other exciting images to come!

Did I mention we have a studio? Anyway… every now and then we goof around here at joe elario photography, its not always business. My friend Mike Goubeaux was in town this past weekend visiting from LA and he wanted to have me take some snaps of him for his website. After I showed him the popular “side lighting” style pix of my father & myself that can be found here on our bio page that was what he wanted. Mike, Lisa Jubert (who helps us out quite a bit) & myself all went to collage down in Savannah, GA (SCAD) so we all decided to get together and take fun goof ball type pix its been a tradition since 2002.

On a side note, a thought crossed my mind on doing more engagement shoots this style because its hip, trendy & you don’t see other people doing it yet which makes me kind of apprehensive about even posting my ideas here, just remember where you heard/saw it first ;) But I need you readers to leave me some comment love simply telling me if it would be something YOU would be into. Step up, don’t be shy.

This weekend Ruth & Kevin tied the knot at St. Judes in Wynantskill, NY. Then it was off to The Desmond Hotel where my girlfriend Kris Ann Blanchette owner of Fleurtacious Designs was putting the final floral touches on the room. TS Ensemble was the nights entertainment and did a great job on keeping things rocking. Thanks again to Amanda Gentile for her help this weekend.

Enjoy -
