Michaels Baptism

As all of my clients know when I’m not photographing weddings I’m photographing baptisms. And since it has been a long time that I have posted a baptims I figured I would share my latest one with you. Thanks to Penny the mom for letting me post these wonderful images on my blog.

As time goes by and I photograph more and more baptisms, my clients are really looking for a more unique contemporary feel to this wonderful event. Not only are they looking for a story with unique angle, they want a lot of black and white images. And honestly i love them in black and white.  Every event whether a wedding or a christening has a story, keep it real and I will try my hardest to capture the emotions behind your day.

Huge turnout yesterday.

In my previous post I stated I will be heading on over to Saint Paul’s in Hempstead for the bone marrow testing for Michaella, and I did. Although we ended up getting there 30 minutes before it was over I was overwhelmed by the amount of people that were there. After speaking with one of the volunteers, she told me that it was packed the entire day with a constant stream of people coming in for testing of all ages. So naturally I had my camera with me and I grabbed this quick snapshot, nothing special but rather to illustrate the number of people participating 15 minutes prior to the end of the day.
Another testing site has been setup for January 22 from 2PM until 9PM at St. Catherine’s in Astoria. To verify the times and date call the church office at 718-728-1718. If you weren’t able to make it yesterday make an attempt to go on 1/22. Trust me the test is painless, and you will feel good about yourself when you leave. But most importantly just think if you are that one individual who is a match, what it will it mean to her and her family.

Christos in Canada

I finally got around to completing a few images for the blog from my first destination wedding in Canada. What can I say it was a real adventure and I had a blast. We started of with the guys this time around since I stayed at the same hotel as they were in. The guys were real troopers for a 9:30AM start time, mind you the wedding ceremony was at 4PM. I later found out that they got undressed and spent the remainder of the morning and early afternoon at the hotel pool.
If you ever plan on going to Canada you have to check out and stay at this rocking hotel Novotel Montréal Aéroport. After I finished the guys it was a very fast drive to the bride’s house. A special thanks goes out to the videographer Marcello from Pacifica that was kind enough to chauffeur me around the entire day.

Now I also photograph more traditional bridal party portraits for the couples families but the brides and grooms want something cooler for themselves.

So here we go a relaxed bridal party portrait with attitude.

When i think of it and as the day progresses i truly enjoy capturing emotional moments. I feel that the father and daughter dance is my favorite part of the wedding.

Koukla

I love that word LOL, but I have to congratulate two Greek  – American sisters Constantina and Steliani Valaouras that took this term and monopolized on it.
The two sisters took the word Koukla and created a line of clothing with koukla stamped across the clothing. Brilliant. Way to go girls. So make sure you visit there website at. Oh yeah let me add the shirts are hot looking.
