Family and friends all gathered at the Shenandoah Clubhouse at the Turning Stone Casino for Genevieve and Derek’s New Year’s Eve wedding, the whole place looked fabulous (even if we really didn’t have any snow)! Cindy & Roger from Ormond Entertainment really outdid themselves (once again) taking care of the evening’s entertainment and the snowflake lighting was really something to see! I owe a huge “Thank You!!” to my friend Caly Doran who gave up her New Year’s Eve to help me out! Once again my buddy Justin Mayer joined us as the video ninja and the Photo Boothique was out in full force!

I can honestly say that I don’t think that I have ever met two people that were more meant for each other than Genevieve and Derek, all you have to do is spend a little time with the two of them and you would be able to see it for yourself.

Steph & Tim live in Boston (which I had the pleasure of visiting this past spring and found myself thoroughly enjoying it especially the Samuel Adams Brewery) but Steph is an Upstate girl and this is where they decided to tie the knot! Now you can never go wrong with The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, I’m pretty certain that it’s Syracuse’s oldest and definitely grandest church. Or the Genesee Grande either for that matter which is where everyone got ready and where the reception was held as well, as always they did a great job and everything looked fabulous! Once again the Photoboothique was on site and it definitely got a workout! Everyone was so nice and gracious and I had a great time!

Thanks for letting me be a part of it!

It was a beautiful July day when Becky & Katie decided to make things legal! I had a fabulous time hanging out with them, their families and their closest friends (and you know that they were rocking out the Photo Boothique)!!! I just love these two.

Thanks to Lauren & Todd for helping me out!

It was hot, just plain hot when Lindsay & Levi got hitched! They chose Lindsay’s sister’s home because it was a beautiful location with a scenic view. Dinosaur Barbecue was on hand to make sure that no one left hungry. The Events Company and The Backyard Garden made sure that every thing looked awesome!! I was glad to have Stacy along to help me make sure that we got all the shots that we needed!!

steve + rosanne + hendricks chapel + syracuse oncenter = awesome wedding

I have been looking forward to Roseanne and Steve’s wedding since I first met Roseanne and her mom last fall (they were so pleasant)! Now I’ve always known that I have a pretty awesome job but there is a possibility that Steve’s job might be a little more awesome than mine (but not by much!). After meeting as students at Syracuse University they chose Hendricks Chapel as the place where they would bring their two families together to create a new one. I knew that I wasn’t going to be able to do this on my own so I enlisted the help of my dear friend Laure Lillie who came along to cover the guys. Jamie Owens from A Pink Door was along for day of coordinating and to keep us in line and on time! Holly (of A-List Artistry) and Tiffany always do a great job when it comes to hair and makeup and it was no surprise that Roseanne and the rest of the girls looked absolutely stunning! The Photo Boothique was out in full force and stayed packed the entire night (if you are interested in having a photobooth at your wedding next year be sure to ask me about the 2012 special)!

I had an awesome time and was so honored to have been a part of their very special day.

I look forward to seeing you both next summer at our next wedding!!!

The Photo Boothique has struck again! This time it was Steve and Rosanne’s wedding at Hendricks Chapel on the campus of Syracuse University and a reception that followed at the Syracuse OnCenter. Once again it was a hit and here are the photos as proof!

Taylor has been so very patient so I decided to post an image for her to see while I’m finishing up all of their images.

St. Baldrick’s Day 2010

Today’s 6th annual St. Baldrick’s Day was once again held at Kitty Hoyne’s Irish Pub & Restaurant in an effort to raise money to fight children’s cancer and I thought that it would be the perfect opportunity for a photobooth. So I set up my gear in the back and the “shavees” started rolling through. You can also purchase copies of the images from the day here (a portion of the proceeds will be donated back to St. Baldrick’s) and they are also on facebook as well. Be sure to tag yourself or anyone else that you might recognize.
(I’m happy to say that more than $320,000 was raised for this year’s event!!)

St. Mary’s Mega Raffle

Last night was St. Mary’s Academy Annual Mega Raffle; which is the school’s biggest fundraiser of the year. I donated a portrait session for the auction and offered to set up a photobooth for the guests as well; it took a while for people to trickle in and warm up to it but once they did there was a steady stream. All of the images are posted here (password is: megaraffle) and a portion of the sales will be donated back to the school. These photobooths are proving to be a big hit at all sorts of functions (weddings, holiday parties, birthday parties); if you are interested in one for your next event feel free to contact me.
