What I remember most about Sabriana and Steve’s Wedding Day: HALLOWEEN 2009! Sabrina and Steve are a very dynamic couple, in love…. YES! YES! Sabrina, The “Mother of Honor” Sabrina’s mom Carole and the girls were crazy and fun to be around and work with. We had a very nice day but rather windy and a bit wet! But that didn’t stop Sabrina and Steve, the two of them and the wedding party were prepared to go outside and enjoy the feel of Philly everyone made the best of it! The reception of 300+ guests was an affair to remember, entertained by Carmen Tomasetti and the sounds of CTO Park Avenue . Thanks Carmen for making this philly party one to remember. Your band sounded amazing…WOW! Dancing, partying, great times! What an event this was, the Philadelphia social event of the year! The flowers were created and designed by Ten Pennies . BEAUTIFUL! It was all held together by In Style Planners – Gina Sole.
The grand entrance of Sabrina and Steve entering the ballroom was such an anticipated moment… Steve and Sabria waiting to enter.. the room highlighted in hanging white silk fabric with accents of white and black feathers everywhere, and gorgeous large lavish table flower arrangements. Eveyone in disguise hiding behind unique Mardi gras masks that Carole and Sabrina had collected from Europe! The long awaited announcement came, the band kicked up “I’ve Got a Feeling” by the Black Eyed Peas more screaming.. the excitement! It was Sabrina and Steve’s time! That song went on for almost 15 minutes… that was just the beginning of a night that all guests will look back at and remember for
a very long time.. The entire day and reception was documented by the very creative and professional team The Video Artist . Marc and Brooke, GREAT working with you!
Thank you, Sabrina and Steve and your families. Carole, you were so helpful and caring, always making sure Sabrina was looking her best! It was so nice working with you on your wedding day! And also a very special thanks to Lisa Mc Graw and her staff from The Park Hyatt at the Bellevue for putting together and catering such a wonderful and sucessful event. You and your staff made The Bellevue a special place for Sabrina and Steve on their wedding day!

Ethan’s Bar Mitzvah was another long awaited event here at the studio. It has been a while since we photographed at the DCCA on the Wilmington Riverfront and working among all the amazing art is so inspiring. Some of you may remember Ethan’s portraits with his dog from the summer. He is a huge Steelers’ fan, can you tell by the color and decor choices. Check out the signature board that we created to match the theme! European Gallery made the room look amazing and colorful and Hot Hot Hot Entertainment kept guests dancing all night and the children entertained with super fun games.
Glen, Laurie and Ethan thank you for making us part of your day. We truly enjoyed working with your family.

I photographed Chelsea and Kevin this past summer at Cape Henlopen State Park. It was a “get to know the couple” engagement shoot. They are the perfect couple for this setting! Great shots as the sun was setting in the bay! Kevin and Chelsea and Jana decided to create a Christmas card. Using a nice design, creative post production and high quality card stock Jana made a unique Holiday card just for Chelsea and Kevin. It was a hit among friends and family. They will be getting married at the Rehoboth Beach Country Club this July. Here is what they had to say after receiving their Christmas card order:
Jana,
“What can I say you all continue to amaze me! The Christmas card you designed for Kevin and I was absolutely AMAZING. Our friends and family were so impressed. Best card we have ever sent
I just wanted to sincerely thank you for your hard work and beautiful design and for the beautiful photos taken by Mike. We are so looking forward to working with you on our wedding day. We know we won’t be disappointed! Keep up your unique work and many blessings for the New Year….”
Chelsea Thompson

Hi Angelique,
“Everyone LOVES the thank you cards… so THANK YOU for the ‘thank you’ cards 
They’re so awesome… especially the inside… so amazing!!
Hope you and everyone at the studio has a wonderful holiday. I know the photobook is on it’s way here… they tried to deliver it today but of course we were at work, so we’ll probably end up picking it up from Fed Ex sometime tomorrow or Saturday. Can’t wait to get it!!”

Getting Ready: Brides Home, Cherry Hill, NJ
Ceremony: St. Barbara Greek Orthodox Church- Toms River, New Jersey
Pics of Couple, Bridal Party and Families: At the Church
Reception: The Mallard Island Yacht Club-Long Beach Island, New Jersey
What I remember most about Soula and Lambros’s Wedding Day: Everyone wanted to have fun and party! Soula wanted the most special day of her life and she she got more then that! And they did, especially at the reception to the sounds of Nikos Koutras an authentic Greek Band. The day was one to remember not only the great time I had working with the lovely couple, Soula and Lambros but the severe weather also. A nor’easter hit the Jersey coast the day off the wedding. Rain on a wedding day symbolizes good luck, so this HEAVY RAIN means the best of luck. WOW! it was crazy wind and rain! We were right on the water! Families were lots of fun and the party was amazing! Greek dancing and money flying everywhere. Soula and Lambros travelled to the South of France where they hope to retire and live someday…..
Thank you, Soula and Lambros! And a very special thanks to Gina from the Mallard Island Yacht Club. You and your staff handled the guests and the weather in a calm and organized manner. Professional all the way!

It has been a pleasure working with Rebecca and Eric and their families. I couldn’t believe that their wedding was finally here. Rebecca and Eric chose the beautiful Greenville Country Club for the site of their wedding celebration. The weather could have not been any more beautiful and the sunset was the greatest we experienced at Greenville yet. Linda from Greenville and Tara from EBE made the entire event flow smoothly and everyone enjoyed themselves.
We wish you all the best in your life together. Thank you for choosing us to document your day.
