Finally, the wedding of Tak + Steven, mostly known as STAK Images – the “NOW” husband-and-wife Wedding Photographers from NY, which we proudly call friends :)

Tak + Steven’s wedding day started with a scare of huge continuous rain (as you can see from their e-session), however we are very grateful that it didn’t even rain at all.  We completely lucked out – weather was dry, overcast the whole day.  Their day started with the getting ready at the Millenium Hilton Hotel (which is located right next to the ground zero of the World Trade Center (see picture below).  Emotions are high, portraits are amazing!  We had TONS of fun covering their wedding!  Here are “some” of our favorites:

The details:
Dress/Shoes/Veil: David’s Bridal
Makeup Artist: Sissi Chan
Ceremony/Reception: The City Hall Restaurant
Wedding Favors: Summer Favors

Tak is just a wee bit obsessed with piggies!

T-E-A-M-W-O-R-K :)

We love taxis since there are none in LA area…

Tea Ceremonies always bling up the bride.

Lots of portrait time after the wedding!

I had fun in Las Vegas documenting Monika + David’s Jewish wedding at the Four Seasons. Monika was truly a stunning bride. Strangers at the elevator actually asked if she’s Miss Spain! The event went perfectly under the coordination of Laura Ward-Elbyr and the catering manager Dennis Silknitter.  And thank goodness that no one fell into the pool after the raucous Hora by the poolside!

Thank you, Monika+David for letting me document your amazing day!

Venue: The Four Seasons, Las Vegas, NV

This post is one day late, but better late than never!  I am very pleased that the following images placed on the recent ISPWP (International Society of Professional Wedding Photographer) Quarterly contest.  I just recently joined this society, so this comes as a great surprise – a pleasant one, especially because the votes come from a panel of judges that I truly respect.
Getting Ready – 11th Place (Angela + Angel’s wedding)

Bride and Groom Portrait – 7th

Engagement Portrait – 9th (Nina + Sam’s Engagement)

and last but not least: Reception – 1st Place (Pang + Scott’s Wedding)

And Ray took one spot: First Dance – 16th (Whitney + Alex)
