Fireman’s Fund & the FDNY

Filed under: Uncategorized — silverliningstudio @ 6:57 pm

As much as I love weddings, there are other types of photography that I truly enjoy. Corporate event photography can be challenging and rewarding as well.
So, here are some images that I was able to capture for one of my corporate client’s, Fireman’s Fund Insurance Company. It was held at the FDNY headquarters in New York and many of the top officers and the Fire commissioner were present to accept the grant. I’m happy to say that I’ve been involved with this company for two years and have seen them give grants to many of the NY/NJ/CT local fire companies.

The recipient this time was the FDNY High School. It’s a really great program that allows the insurance brokers and Fireman’s Fund a way to give back to local communities all across the country.

Here are some of my favorites from Angela & Alfred’s wedding day. It was a wonderful day with a beautiful couple. We took advantage of the lovely setting at the Reeves-Reed arboretum in Summit to do a pre-ceremony portrait session for the bride & groom. Then on to the church and finally The Palace at Somersetdpp_0295fam.jpgdpp_0296fam.jpgdpp_0297fam.jpgdpp_0298fam.jpgThe couple had a beautiful, traditional ceremony at St. Mary’s Coptic Orthodox Churchdpp_0299fam.jpgdpp_0301fam.jpgdpp_0300fam.jpgdpp_0302fam.jpgdpp_0303fam.jpgdpp_0304fam.jpgWell, I was caught in the act!

Stephanie & Jeffrey, The Knoll Country Club

Filed under: Uncategorized — silverliningstudio @ 12:17 pm

It couldn’t have been a more perfect day! The weather was lovely, the setting was beautiful and the couple, family and friends were fabulous! What more could you ask?
Everything was held at the Knoll Country Club in NJ. www.knollcc.com
031u2157rafael.jpgI really love this sequence of ceremony photos. The range of emotion is always so wonderful to capture. There is nothing like a bride walking down the aisle to her groom. The anticipation and excitement were there, even though we did a full set of family pictures and a ketuba signing before the ceremony.

Annie & Jose, St. Rose of Lima, Short Hills, NJ.

I love this shot of the back of Annie’s dress. The light coming through her veil couldn’t have been more perfect! It was a lovely moment when Annie was greeting some of her bridal party arriving at the house.

031u0559glackin.jpgThis is certainly a “man with a mission”, holding that very important pillow just so!
031u0754glackin.jpgSt. Rose is such a beautiful church with wonderful light. An unexpected storm developed during the ceremony, which caused a little concern but it was all over and on the way to dry by the time that the formals were finished at the church.
The couple then stole a little private time and took advantage of the rose garden in Millburn before joining family and friends at The Knoll Country Club. www.knollcc.com .

Lauren & Leif, The Picnic House, Prospect Park, NY.

Filed under: Uncategorized — silverliningstudio @ 2:42 pm

The day was a bit rainy but that didn’t dampen the spirits of this great couple! They had their wedding at The Picnic House in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, NY www.prospectpark.org . Even though it rained, we still were able to do some shots that captured the beauty of this area for the bride & groom. It was a special spot for Lauren & Leif.
Lauren was carrying a wonderful bunch of sunflowers, which just happen to be the first flowers that Leif gave to Lauren. I love that kind of special significance!

Rebecca & Nick, Brooklake Country Club, Florham Park, NJ

Filed under: Uncategorized — silverliningstudio @ 9:17 am

It was a beautiful day in May that started in Staten Island at the bride’s home and then went to Holy Spirit in Union for the ceremony.  The reception was held at the beautiful Brooklake Country Club in Florham Park, NJ www.brooklakecc.com. 

We had a little time between the ceremony and the reception, so we took advantage of the opportunity to do some portraits at the Reeves-Reed Arboretum in Summit www.reeves-reedarboretum.org , NJ. The family joined them a bit later and we did the group photos as well.
img_0307monck.jpgI just love the grounds of the Reeves-Reed arboretum in Summit, NJ. Great place to do portraits.
img_0308monck1.jpgBrooklake Country Club gives the couple a wonderful backdrop for their portraits. It was such a lovely day.
img_0310monck.JPGI really like this children’s portrait. They were clowning around as kids will do and Mom wanted a photo. Being a little “pictured-out” after the group formal pictures taken earlier, I asked them to give each other a hug and this was the result. Couldn’t have been better!
img_0313monck.JPGA little tarantella, if you please!

Jenna & Erik, The Stirling Ridge, Warren, NJ

Filed under: Uncategorized — silverliningstudio @ 11:19 am

Jenna & Erik’s wedding was the first event to be held at The Stirling Ridge in Warren, NJ www.stirlingridgeevents.com.

We did all of the formals prior to the ceremony, so that they could go immediately into their cocktail hour without delay.
It was a wonderful celebration and a great party too!

img_0114hepsen.jpgThis little guy practically ran down the aisle, whipping that pillow around as he went. Too cute!

Ring BearerI just love the movement here, as they were heading down the aisle.

cermony at Stirling RidgeI just love the way that Jenna’s dress is showcased here. It reminds me of something that might be seen in the movie, Lord of the Rings. A bit more modern of course and oh so elegant!

img_0116hepsen.jpgThis was the opening event at The Stirling Ridge in Warren. The ballroom was pulled together and beautiful…just in the nick of time! It really was down to the wire but Jenna & Erik had complete confidence in Dan Goldblatt, the Catering Director and he didn’t let them down. It was a lovely event that seemed to be enjoyed by all.
