christine havrilla - tin angel

I just saw Christine Havrilla at the Tin Angel in Philadelphia this past Saturday. Christine is one of my favorite indie artists. I am blown away by her abilties on the guitar and vocals. She is my main inspiration for recently taking up the guitar (I have lessons once a week).

"Velocity" is Christine's latest CD. I play it nonstop on my iPod. The 1st track "Hole in the Ground" topped the Sirius Satellite Charts. Pick up your copy today on her website.

Here is Christine along with Gretchen Schultz (backing vocals) and Wendy Fuhr (backing vocals & violin) Saturday night. They rocked the house with a sold out crowd.

lauren + todd - the wedding

Lauren and Todd were my last wedding for 2007. I must say that they were the perfect couple for my year end farewell.

You may remember them from their engagement shoot this summer. All fun and play!



I love ring shots - they can look so cool.


Beautiful Lauren getting dressed in the bridal suite at one of my favorite venues, The Carriage House in Galloway, NJ. I also worked with one of the most respected videographers in the area, Marc Smiler. That was a treat!


This may be my favorite image of the day. Lauren waiting to see Todd (champagne in hand) before the ceremony. I can feel her excitement as she anticipates Todd walking down the steps to greet her.


Seeing each other before the ceremony is always so beautiful and emotional.


I loved how Todd was touching Lauren's hand as they enjoyed a moment alone.


On the grounds of the The Carriage House.


The ceremony was about to begin. Todd waits for his bride at the altar.


Lauren and her father.


The ceremony was gorgeous.


Lauren and Todd under the hoppa listening to cantor Ellie during the ceremony. The entire day was non stop smiles.


Breaking of the glass.


Lauren and Todd exuberantly walked down the aisle!


Yummy colorful cocktails at the The Carriage House.


The ballroom at the The Carriage House was elegant.


1st dance for Todd and Lauren.


Lauren dancing with her father. Notice her mother and sister watching in the background.


Lauren and her family cheer for Todd and his mother as they danced.


A touching moment as the best man gives his speech.



My favorite part of a Jewish wedding is the Horah.


Congratulations, Lauren and Todd! Thank you for such a wonderful evening!

Sherri and Dale were married at the The Carriage House in Galloway, NJ.

As you can see, Dale likes to work out. He told me he was "pumped up" for the wedding!

happy 60th birthday mom!

Happy 60th Birthday Mom! I am so fortunate to have young parents who fell in love (and still love each other very much) at an early age and then had me! :)

This week I have a nasty cold. My mom made me chicken noodle soup and brought it over to me. How lucky am I? I have the best mom ever!!! We have a very close relationship and talk to each other just about every day. We enjoy going out to dinners together and seeing broadway plays.


I wish you the best birthday and many more!!!! I love you mom!!!!! :)

rachel + dan - the wedding

You may remember Rachel and Dan from last year's steamy engagment session. They were fantastic together and so very playful. They could not wait to get in the water and play!




Well, Rachael and Dan were married in November at the beautiful Seaview Marriott. They own a wonderful restaurant in Tinton Falls named Dano's. Check it out!

The gorgeous flowers were done by Betina's Garden located in Absecon, NJ.


Rachel getting ready. The necklace that she wore was her grandmother's.


Dad comes in to see Rachel dressed.


Admiration from mom and dad.


Walking to the ceremony from the suite at the Seaview Marriott.

Exchange of the rings.


After the kiss, a heartfelt "high five"!


So happy.


I love these next 3 images.




Betina's Garden did a wonderful arrangement with the place cards.


The cakes are always gorgeous at the Seaview Marriott.


The room was beyond beautiful.


Rachel and Dan - 1st dance.


Rachel dancing with her father, tears down her cheeks.


Mom's reaction to Rachel and Dad dancing - so sweet.


Rachel and Dan listen as the best man , Dan's brother, gives his speech.


A quiet moment alone.


Everyone having fun!


Congratulations Rachel and Dan. You rock!!! :)
