Jill and Eddie's Wedding Dec 6





























































Eddie contacted me a few months back and said they where searching for a photographer for their wedding probably in The Turks and Caicos. Marty and I where super excited, we love the Bahamas but never have been to the Turks. Unfortunately Hurricane Ike made that an impossibility.
Jill and Eddie then looked at Jamaica and The Ocean Club in Nassau where Marty and I where married. That also would have been good since we premised alot of people that we would see them again and haven't.
After considering all those things, Jill and Eddie decided to have the wedding near home at the Vanderbuilt Manson in Oakdale NY on Long Island. We where very happy that they still wanted us at the wedding. Marty and I have never seen anything of Long Island other than the Long Island Expressway. We went a day early and stayed at a bed and breakfast near the coast on Long Island Sound. What a beautiful place! We hope to be able to sail there someday.
One of the things we liked about Jill and Eddie is that they are sailors also and we had a great time swapping stories with them and their guests.
Jill traveled to the Manson in Eddies Father's beautiful Rolls Royce. I thought it was a great restoration, but in fact it was totally original!
It was a bit of a shock to our systems when it got cold on wedding day, but the wedding party where real troopers and did a great job when we went outside the Manson for pics.
Please check out Marty's work, she not only did pictures, she did all the girls hair and makeup.
We hope to get a chance to see Jill and Eddie again sailing!
Thanks Jill and Eddie for showing us a great time and showing the best part of Long Island.

Gonzalez Family Portrait, Palm Beach











I was contacted by Andy Jr. who wanted give a gift of a portrait session to his parents for Christmas. How nice! They where a great looking family and the afternoon light on Palm Beach was great!n I really like the power of the panoramics.

McKibbin Family Portrait, Boynton Beach







The McKibbin family live on Hypoluxo Island which is just across the water from our condo. We went to the Boynton Inlet for pictures. The kids are very talented artists, actors and singers!

Fedacsec Family Portrait, Miami







I photographed Courtney and Joe's wedding a couple years ago in Miami and this is one of the most rewarding things for me when I get to photograph a growing family. I am very blessed to be able to see this and be able to photograph in Miami one day and Pittsburgh or someplace else the next day. What a contrast to the Peck family in Pittsburgh the previous week.
Courtney and Joe ordered a 14x40 Gallery Wrap Canvas that they love.



Peck Family Portrait Pittsburgh







I photographed the Peck family back in October in Pittsburgh on one of those perfect fall days. The colors couldn't have been more perfect.


Michele has been a hair style client of Marty's for years and is a very good friend also. I must say the kids where a blast with their teasing and jokes.


The Panoramic looks great with the colors.
