New Press

We were excited to have our lovely couple Jillian and Michael's beautiful summer wedding featured in the most recent issue of Contemporary Bride Magazine. The magazine has completely ve-vamped their image and the layout looks really nice!

GG worked hard on this event from start to finish, making it unique and full of amazing details. Jill was thrilled with the end product, and we were so happy to bring her the dream wedding she always wanted!

Danny Weiss Launches KidZ Site!

Our resident super fab-u-licious photographer Danny Weiss recently launched the newest addition to his already amazing web site Danny Weiss KidZ. I may be a tad bit biased as my two little angels are featured on the site, as are Amy's little ones! BUT still, even without my children's pictures on the site, his work is just amazing and he really has quite a way with children! Go take a look-see!

That's a wrap!

Today we wrapped up our News 12 shoot for the special wedding segment that the one and only Alicia Vitarelli is producing to air this Spring. We shot a great segment about bridal gowns and the beautiful Bijou Bridal in Paramus, NJ and then went to my office to discuss some favor options that won't break the bank!

I was honored to have three of my beautiful brides from weddings past and present join us to be the "talent" at the shoot! A special thank you to Mariella, Tricia and Marianne who braved the cold and came out to model some fabulous gowns for us!

We couldn't have done it without the help of Cathy and her staff at Bijou Bridals! Thank you for your warm hospitality and wonderful help!

And finally, thank you to the fantastic and inspiring Alicia Vitarelli for inviting us to be a part of this unique bridal special!

We will keep you posted as to when the special will air!

We're not just planning weddings, we're multiplying!

Yet another fabulous baby has joined the ranks of the oh so fab baby brigade. We welcome with love, Aubrey Kate Dwyer who came into the world on February 4th 2009 weighing 6 lbs 12 oz!

Congrats to proud parents Allyson and Mike and of course big sis Teagan!

Grace Ormonde Shoot

PHEW! Is all I can say. I mean to prepare for this shoot literally took the life out of me! It was such a project, but oh what a satisfying one! We worked for WEEKS on these table tops. It was a beautiful collaboration with Floral Designs by Cindy, The Cloth Connection, Party Rentals, ltd, The Pleasantdale Chateau, Laura
Hooper Calligraphy and of course Danny Weiss Photography.

Cindy and I carefully chose the most gorgeous *table jewlery* from Party Rentals, to coordinate perfectly with all the amazing custom made (just for the shoot!) couture linens from Cloth Connection. A big HUGE thank you to Helen and co. for the amazing hustle. After that, Cindy ran with our ideas for both table tops. Well, what can I say? As usualy she BLEW us all away. Even after a freezer mishap on Monday she still pulled it all together seamlessly.

Lisa from Pleasantdale was gracious in allowing us to shoot our session at their gorgeous estate in West Orange, NJ, thank you for the wonderful backdrop and the amazing service on Wednesday from lighting the fire to helping move furniture, we appreciate your help. Laura Hooper created gorgeous hand written menus for our "rockefellar" shoot, they looked priceless!

Danny Weiss as usual was there to capture the images for the submission, we can't wait to see the pictures. These are just a few sneak peeks but I'm sorry you will have to wait until the magazine comes out to see the full images! Top secret!

Thanks again to GG and Amy who were also instrumental in the process and on the day of to help scramble everything together and make it perfect!

OH SO FAB ON NEWS 12 NEW JERSEY!

Today we had the absolute pleasure of working with the stunning Alicia Vitarelli, morning anchor for News 12 New Jersey, on some great wedding segments aimed at helping viewers understand how to be smart with money but still obtain fabulous and elegant wedding decor.
Alicia approached us a few weeks ago to discuss this very informative and exciting partnership for her amazing "BuckWild" segment that airs on News 12 on Wednesday evenings.

For today's shoot, we traveled to Floral Designs by Cindy for some floral tips, and then on to Robin K Design for some really insightful inviation do's and don'ts from the one and only Robin Kornett.

We are taping two more segments in two weeks, Bridal Gown Savvy, and favor how-to's....Stay tuned for air dates!

A special thanks to Alicia for giving us this amazing opportunity, you are amazing, smart and a great role model for all working women!
