I spent some time with Justin & Mary Marantz during their Walk Through a Wedding Workshop here in New Haven, CT a few weeks back and put together this behind the scenes recap video. The workshop is pretty thorough and walks everyone through the day, from their arrival on the scene, all the way to the reception and cake cutting. We finished up the day with a mock reception over at the always beautiful Lighthouse Point Park. You can give them some love at JustinMarantz.com
I had an awesome time this past Memorial Day Weekend shooting Sara & Andy’s wedding over at the Stamford Museum and Nature Center in Stamford, CT. They decked the whole place out with the help of Sierra and Juliet from Poppies and Posies floral and event design. Every detail reflected Sara and Andy… from the all Beatles playlist for the day, to the floral arrangements in vintage tins – from the menu (consisting of mac & cheese and late night english muffin pizzas provided by my good friend David Donnelly of Pane E Panini) to the planetarium shows throughout the night. You can tell they enjoyed the whole process and threw one hell of a party for their friends and families! Thanks Sara & Andy!

The dress is from the Priscilla of Boston Vineyard Collection. It’s called The Sophie…and it has pockets 
I’m also curious who her dress is by — it’s gorgeous! Any info is much appreciated.
I’m not sure but I’ll check with her and let you know the details.
Beautiful pictures! What kind of dress is this? It looks just like that kind of dress i’m looking for!
I had the great pleasure of shooting Erin & Gino’s wedding a few weeks ago over at Amarante’s Sea Cliff in New Haven, CT. We started off down in Norwalk for the ceremony and then headed down to New Haven later in the day – stopping off at the Lighthouse Point Park.
This guy always had an awesome smile for me… I couldn’t sneak up on him.
I was totally digging the brown pinstripes… Gino is a graphic designer (He’s good with color).
Just to show how cool Erin & Gino are… they had custom made cufflinks for all the groomsmen that related to their favorite comics or video games. (P.S. “Popeye RULEZ”)
We also had two newborns that were only week(s) old. Couldn’t help but sneak a few shots of them too!
It was a little windy at Lighthouse Point but we had some great light and found just the right spot after a short walk
I had to bust out the Polaroid here… couldn’t resist. I have to say.. not too bad for on camera flash
I actually went to high school with Gino and a few of his groomsmen as well (hence the gratuitous photos coming up soon.) I also went to High School with Steve Fernino of Music in Motion who did a fantastic job with the uplighting in this place…. it really kicked up my reception photos!
And now for the gratuitous photos… Who can resist shooting their high school buddies with a 14mm? Not me.
Congrats Erin & Gino. I’m honored that you included me in your big day and I can’t wait to hear all about Disney World!

Thanks Jennifer!
WOW… these photos are amazing! I just saw Erin and Gino over Thanksgiving and they told me to go to your websit to see their wedding photos. You are a wonderful photographer! I’m so glad I got to see such beautiful pictures, I want to see more. I’m her cousin by the way
Sweet wedding! Those cigar shots are hilarious!
Jim these are so awesome!
I worked up this short montage of our shoot in Central Park in NYC and mixed in a little video I managed to shoot throughout the day.
Thanks again to Lindsey & Jamie!

Awesome work Jim! I love this set of images and the video, and you did a great job fusing it all together.
Thanks! As you can see we didn’t quite make it down to the High Line but no complaining here… Central Park was awesome and we had a great sunset.
look at YOU working the fusion- very cool!!!
As promised, here’s part two of Lindsey & Jamie’s Engagement Session in Central Park, NYC!
After all this hard work we headed over to Big Nick’s Burger and Pizza joint and they treated me to a pretty mean burger.
If you’re in the area check Big Nick out… it’s worth the trip.

Thanks so much for your compliments!
What the heck, Jim! I had no idea you did photography, TOO! You’re an amazing talent. And that b&w image of the couple kissing up against the stone wall is ridiculous gorgeous. I love these.
Really great job and I love the pure emotion of that first picture you definitly captured their personality!!!! :0)
I had the awesome pleasure of meeting up with Lindsey and Jamie in central park yesterday.
We couldn’t have had a nicer day to be shooting and hanging out outside.
I love the pairing of Lindsey and Jamie, the split tree and the two towers here.
More to come! I just couldn’t wait to get a few of these up for now!
