I second shot on this wedding late summer at The VIP Country Club in New Rochelle, NY. This was a fun wedding and the venue was absolutely gorgeous!
As a second shooter I had a great time at this wedding, there was so much going on!!
The venue is gorgeous, and at night it really looked awesome all lit up!
We had this guy break dancing -
Then they did this “hawaii-five-o” as they called it, and everyone did some dives! Alot of fun!
All thes photos were taken while shooting with denise chastian.

One of my favorite weddings this year, I second shot this wedding with Laura Ryan and had a ball! It was really hard trying to pick a favorite photo from this wedding- But here you have it- My fave!!
This was an Awesome venue- old townhouse in NYC, 1 block in from central park on 69th street. The couple was awesome, and so was the family – We had a good time shooting it!
This photo is one of my favorites from the day, I just love capturing moments, especially expressions and natural laughter.
I am going to be posting more favorite photos over the next few days so subscribe to the blog to be notified of the new posts!
You can always email me or catch up with me on facebook as well!
I second shot on this wedding with Laura Ryan back in October. I loved shooting at Gurney’s Inn. Its an awesome venue right on the beach! We had a little rain in the afternoon, but it cleared in time for us to do some shots outside and to hang out by the bon-fire after the reception. It was a VERY fun wedding.
I was so happy that the rain held up for the bonfire at the end of the night, it was alot of fun and added a very unique element to the wedding day!
I found a great wesbsite this past weekend- gettingmarriedonlongisland.com This is a website geared specifically to Long Island brides! It offers unique advice, tips, and all around great info. Although it is geared towards the Long Island bride, I am sure brides from all over will find a benefit to reading the posts on this blog as well!

She was the managing editor of Newsday’s Long Island Weddings, and she is now the senior editor for the national bridal website www.Chatterberries.com – She is an expert in the industry and a great resource for brides everywhere!

I was sitting around this weekend looking back at all of the venues I shot at this year, I shot at so many cool locations this year but the one place that really left a huge impression on me was the west sayville country club. I have quite a few weddings scheduled at WSCC next year and thought I’d do a little write up. I may do more of these write ups in the future, I enjoy looking back at all of these weddings!
This is a great venue for photos, beautiful views of the bay and the golf course make for excellent backdrops to your wedding photos – But when you take a walk over to the maritime museum on the other side of the property, a whole other world of photographic possibilities open up!! Everyone loves the building with the green door!
Inside the house is gorgeous. Beautiful staircases, fireplaces, and chandeliers it all makes for a warm and comfortable environment. I also love how the dance floor is seperate from the main dining room. Kind of gives all the guests different placed to hang out. While you are out on the dance floor side of the house and look out one of the numerous windows, you get stunning views of the bay and the golf course, and if you catch the sunsetting – it is just amazing..
Another thing about the WSCC that I like is the food, I eat a lot of catered foods, at least 3 times a month.. and I can say WSCC and pretty all of the venues run by Lessings have a great food! Not only is the food awesome, but the service is great too. The waitstaff treat us (vendors) like guests, and the bartenders always have a smile on. Good food and good service is always good.
I cannot not wait to shoot at the West Sayville Country Club again in 2010!
These are 2 shots I was looking at this weekend, that had me thinking of this venue. You can also check out my original post from this wedding here 
These shots was taken while working with Laura Ryan.
