The images from Katie and Erick’s vow renewal are finished and ready for the world to see! They had an incredible vow renewal, making it the wedding they never got to have due to Erick’s deployment to Afghanistan. We just want to take this time to thank him for his service and wish them all the best as they really start off their married life together. The ceremony was held at the West Point Cadet Chapel, which was absolutely breathtaking. Our planned photoshoot with them around campus had to get cut very, very short due to the severe cold, but these two were real troopers in braving it for even a couple of minutes. The reception was at the West Point Club with a breathtaking view of the river. The wedding was a blast, and it was so easy to see their love for each other and for their friends and family. Here is a little slideshow of some of the best of their images, and look for the link to the full gallery afterwards! Make sure to have your volume turned up

Our brides will be getting something very new and special with their DVD of images, an eco-friendly, beautiful Loktah CD case. Their products are amazing, and they are made of organic, renewable paper from the foothills of the Himalayas. Just another way our studio is trying to help the planet while giving you a little something special to hold your treasured images. Go check out their website!
Judd Watts - Wow - these cases are something else - I've actually been in the himalayan foothills and have seen parchemnt like this, but I'm betting these are softer and less smelly than what I encountered! Thanks for sharing this great vendor - I've been looking for a supplier like this for a while now.February 20, 2010 - 6:01 am

This past Saturday, Katie and Erick had a gorgeous wedding at the United States Military Academy at West Point, NY, Erick’s Alma Mater. This was technically a vow renewal, as Katie and Erick had gotten married a year ago, just before Erick’s deployment to Afghanistan, so they finally got to have their big wedding upon his return. They had their ceremony at the Cadet Chapel, followed by their reception at the West Point Club. It was a very chilly day here in upstate NY, but they were amazing to work with nonetheless and were so very much in love, just as if this had been their first wedding rather than a vow renewal. Here is a little teaser of some of their photos. This is part 1, the details and the preparation. Come back tomorrow for part 2 of the teaser, the ceremony and reception!
Jackie Jean - love the detail shots!February 9, 2010 - 3:07 am
Drewe - Wow - love the detail shots especially - what lens were you using? 6283 is beautiful too!February 9, 2010 - 4:15 am
Kay Beaton - Love the details - and the empty church photos - the bride must love some of the details of her dress & getting ready! And I love the dancing photos in Sneak Peak 2!February 10, 2010 - 12:49 am
jules - What a beautiful bride and the men look fabulous in uniform!February 24, 2010 - 3:02 pm
In case you didn’t notice (ok, so it’s kind of hard not too) I am unveiling my new branding today! I now have a new logo, new colors, and a more refined brand, thanks to my AMAZING designer Emina of Six26 Studio. She is a branding specialist with an amazing eye and some really great ideas. She is so easy to work with, I highly recommend her to anyone looking for rebranding. In case you didn’t see it above, here is our brand spanking new logo:
It all starts with my brand new Splash page when you first visit my main site. From there you can come here to the blog, be directed to my proofing site, which has also been redesigned and rebranded.
The pièce de résistance is my brand new website from ShowIt, which I have been working on for a few days and am now ready to share with all of you. It has full screen galleries to view large images (which I will be adding more to later) and lots of other good info to look at. Go check it out! With that note, I’m off to bed, we have a totally awesome vow renewal we are shooting tomorrow. So excited!!!!
Emina - The website is great and the blog goes well with it very well. Thank you for using me for your design needs. It was a pleasure to work with you and I wish you prosperity in the future. May this new brand bring you lots of new work.

Hannah - Hey! Love the logo! Great job! :)February 6, 2010 - 7:48 pm
60 photographers, a few models, some great instructors, and the really cool backdrop of the meatpacking district in New York City: This was the scene of the NYC Photog Shootout this past weekend. If you have ever wondered what wedding photographers do during the off season, here is a little peak into it. We spend a lot of time networking, educating ourselves, practicing, and just getting together. This weekend was a great opportunity for all of these, and it was a really fun event. Here are some of my favorite shots that Lisa and I took this past Saturday.
Here is a little “behind the scenes” image of how Lisa got that last shot, along with a bunch of our fellow photographers nearby Yes, that is a professional photographer (a rather well known one) shooting with his iPhone.
This one just screams New York City to me. I love the taxi background!
At the end of the day, a guy driving by in a very nice Ferrari was driving by, saw some beautiful models with tons of photographers, and he had to stop, From then on, mass chaos ensued, and it looked like a paparazzi scene.
That’s all for now, stay tuned for a fabulous West Point wedding soon!
Feuza - That is so cool! I did not get to go but see you got some great shots, so paparazzi on the last one for sure, love the hood shot!January 26, 2010 - 10:11 pm
Emina - Beautiful pictures. The last shot looks like real pimping. LOL.
Really, you got some great talents and the pictures are AWESOME!!!
EminaJanuary 27, 2010 - 6:34 pm
Katie - I love them! You guys did a great job like always! Can't wait for you to shoot our event very soon!January 28, 2010 - 3:42 pm
Amna Hakim - Scott!! beautiful images! looks like you guys had an amazing time. Wish I could've stayed!!!!!January 31, 2010 - 6:49 pm

Annie Warren - Oh man! That looks like so much fun! I'm so jealous I could spit.... ha ha ha. Great shots Scott, and what a gorgeous model. Your first image is my fave. She looks so sensuous. Delicious!February 2, 2010 - 7:34 am
Martha H - Uber fun! These are great! (Wonderful model, too!) I'm especially digging her in front of the taxi!February 2, 2010 - 12:17 pm

Christen - What a fun shoot! You captured some edgy, unique images! Well done.February 6, 2010 - 5:10 pm

We got an e-mail today from Wedding Wire, which is a website where clients can leave reviews for their vendors. This e-mail informed us that we had won a Bride’s Choice Award, which is awarded to the top 5% of wedding vendors nationwide. We were both excited and humbled by this award. Does this mean we can now call ourselves “award winning photographers”??? OK, maybe not so much, but what it does mean is that we have the greatest clients on earth. Wedding Wire asked for your input on my services, and you were so kind in your reviews, we are eternally grateful. Are we really happy about this award? You bet. Mostly though, we are so happy that we have brought a little joy to our clients by giving them both great wedding images and a great photography experience. Making you guys happy makes our job worthwhile. We are truly lucky to have you all as clients, and more importantly, friends. Thank you all so much again, and we look forward to giving the same experience to every new client this year!!!!
Jason Ho - Congratulations! Keep up the good work!February 2, 2010 - 3:39 pm
Judd Watts - That's a great accolade, especially as it's come from the people's opinions that count - your clients! Congratulations! From what I've seen from the rest of your blog it is highly deserved.February 20, 2010 - 6:08 am

This work is definitely NOT my own, but something Lisa stumbled upon on youtube, and I HAVE to share it with you. As photographers, we try to do creative things for save the date announcements, but our skills are not up to creating something like this. We love that they even have the voice right. Make sure you have your volume turned up, and enjoy:
