Dania, John & Kennedy: Congress Park Saratoga

Posted in: Kids / Family

August 25 2008

One of the most flattering things for us is when a bride & groom from the past contact us for more photos. Dania & John’s wedding was one of our flagship weddings of 2004, by that I mean all around great images & an awesome couple to work with. When Dania contacted me and told me they had a new addition to their family named Kennedy not only was a happy for them but I knew they would want photos & I couldn’t wait to take them. Congrats on your newest addition guys, great to see you again.

Thank you so much, we are absolutely in love with the shots! You are truly the best and I couldn’t be happier that you’ve been with us throughout some of the best times in our lives!

kate & mark: glen sanders mansion

Posted in: Weddings

August 18 2008

From the first minute we met Kate back in April 2007 my father & I knew she was going to be an awesome bride. I mean look at the images, her personality screams thru them. Mark was a pleasure as well. He was a laid back, relaxed groom.

This day was nice too! The rains been kicking our butts this season, but we don’t let it get to us. When we arrived at Glen Sanders it was sunny & raining, the rain only lasted about an hour, after that it was as nice as can be for an August day. The ceremony took place at St Marys Catholic Church in Ballston Spa, then it was back to Glen Sanders Mansion for the rest of the evening. We had fun with DJ Vinny Liotta from Cool Cat Entertainment, he had the dance floor packed as Kate & Mark requested from the get go. When they entered the ballroom it was party time from the 1st dance. A pleasure working with you Kate & Mark & congrats!

Enjoy -

    WOW!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! I will call when we get back, but thank you!! Mark and I can’t get over these!!!!!!!!!!! You gave us the greatest gift :-) I can’t even believe it …. aloha!

    You captured the essence of this joyful day for Kate and Mark and created extraordinary images to help us all relive the joy!Bravo!

  3. Steph (08.20.08) 

    Once again, beautiful shots. Of course, it helps to have a handsome couple… can’t wait for you to shoot Sher and I. Bang! ;) Hope you are well JP… talk soon.

  4. Becky (08.18.08) 

    Holy smokes! These photos are incredible!!! You guys definitely captured the spirit of the day. Kate looks ALMOST as pretty in her pictures as she did in person :).

  5. AL (Oggie) (08.18.08) 

    Beyond stunning! Great eye for detail. Ansel Adams could have taken a lesson or two from these. Kate and Mark, you
    made the perfect choice.

  6. Su (08.18.08) 

    Joe & JP…WOW!!! I KNEW the pictures would be great, but these totally blew me away! I was fortunate enough to be on the phone with Kate as she saw them for the first time…she was thrilled beyond words. Your style and “eye” show in every shot. As a “MOB” all I wanted was for my daughter, the bride , to be happy..your exceptional professionalism made that happen. Every woman wants to feel beautiful on her wedding day, and thanks to your talent, Kate can see herself as we all saw her…incredibly beautiful and happy. Thanks again, so much! Su

Well Wed Shoot

Posted in: News, Random, Weddings

August 12 2008

Last Tuesday I shot my latest gown shoot with Well Wed Magazine at the historic Saratoga Race Track. I had to share a few but look for the rest in the next issue of Well Wed Magazine. Hair & makeup by Make Me Fabulous & a sampling of gowns from Cameo Couture, Lily Saratoga & Something Bleu. Model Sarah Von Ouhl was a trooper on this 11 gown shoot. There are a lot more photos but you’ll have to wait till the next issue hits the stands.

enjoy -

amanda & rod: crystal lake

Posted in: Weddings

August 6 2008

Amanda & Rod chose the most popular date in August this year. I cannot tell you how many we calls we had for that August 2, 2008 date. We were more than happy to have spent the day & night with this couple.

The location was wonderful, the weather was perfect when it needed to be. At the beginning of their ceremony the sun came out for the first time that day and just minutes after the ceremony the rain came out for the 2nd or 3rd time that day although we all managed to stay dry. It only lasted 30 minutes tops, just enough to cool off their outdoor tent reception. DJ Andy Pratt is a great guy to work along side, very professional and prepared at all times. The night was capped off by some sweet fireworks compliments of a friend of Amanda & Rod’s.

enjoy & show some love-
jp





Its always fun when we get to shoot the couple seeing each other for the first time…





John Charles Cook, great eclectic guitar.
