|| Lilly's 1st Day ||

December 15, 2008 we were blessed with a brand new baby girl. Lilly Jane Arcara arrived @ 8:08am, coming in @ 7lbs 8ounces, and was 21" tall. Lovina is doing great and wow, she is truly amazing. She showed such strength and courage, she really made it look easy. I'm so very blessed and honored to have her for a wife. Lilly is doing great and is sooooo cute. Man she looks nothing like Molly either. When Molly came to the hospital she was introducing everyone to Lilly, and even telling people to give hugs to each other. thank you so much to all of our family and amazing friends for all the calls and comments both on facebook and in our emails. we love you all and are just so happy to have you.

Well Happy Everything to all of you!!! Now that most of the holidays are finally over we can all get back to whats really important in life... Blogging!!!
So here's a way cool wedding from last month. Anne + Todd had a wonderful day, There was Leopard print, Prada, Stewart Weizman, Melissa Sweet, and an awesome cake from Tinton Falls Pastry Shop that had some battle damage, no match for Ed and the fantastic staff over @ Eagle Oaks. They fixed it like it never even happened! Come to find out that also, my Dad shot one of her bridesmaids weddings back in 1993. It just keeps happening! Check out all the action in the slideshow below!

|| Jackie + Geoff || 11.08.08 @ Liberty House

With the crew of "Usual Suspects" @ this wedding, both vendors AND guests, we just knew it would be a radical time. We had a few brides & grooms there who we shot in the past couple of years, including the grooms brother Todd and his wife Jen as well as Jen's sister Michele and her husband Anthony, so we felt very @ home with everyone. And being that we had none other than Mike Simons ( Who makes a cameo in the slideshow, see if you can find him..) and Emil behind the video lens, as well as the famously amazing Brian Kirk on the bandstand!
Jackie wore a fabulous Reem Acra gown From Saks, and I just couldn't get enough images of the Jimmy Choos, and speaking of footwear, you should have seen our ring bearer Ryan in his tux and chuck taylor all stars!!! After the ceremony @ St Mary's (Same Church we were married in...Wow who knew 5 years, Molly AND another baby on Monday!!!) we headed right to the liquor store... hey need are needs man.. and the up to Libetry House in Jersey City for some foggy fotos. The fog didn't matter though because as usual you adapt and overcome and before you know it, it lifts, separates and you have an amazing view of the evening NYC skyline. Hey and great wedding song guys! Hope its ok we used it in your slideshow.

I think "The Castle @ Skylands" is perhaps the northernmost place you can go for a wedding and still be in New Jersey! Its sooooo frikkin' far! But TOTALLY worth it. I mean its a castle, even I felt like it was a fairy tale! Tracy + Paul are a very fun couple, in love with each other & the Fall. She looked stunning in her "Kenneth Pool" gown from "Kleinfelds" . Check out the amazing flowers from "Dalsimer" out on Long Island. Paul the hopeless romantic that he is presented Tracy with a little blue box while we were making photographs on the grounds of the gardens. WOW Tiffany's! Dude, awesome!!! "Little Blue Box" is my favorite color, besides clear...LOL ! Well the whole bridal party was radical & fun as you will see in the slideshow below. As for The Skylands... Linda and her staff were impeccable, and really made us just love to shoot there, and we can wait to be there again.

Meredith + Darren had a wet day... Although you would never have known it from their excitement. These 2 exemplify what we tell our couples all the time. Just embrace what happens on your wedding day, don't fight it, adapt, improvise & overcome , and it will all work out. Well this day it totally worked out. Meredith looked fab in herLazaro gown from of course, Mustillo's in Red Bank. We just loved the theme of their wedding which was all of the "Benchmarks" of their lives together. Especially the fact that the "bench" they used for the motif, was the actual bench that Darren proposed on! All of the paper accesories were designed by her friend Danielle, who has a design company called "Sweet Dani B". Fantastic florals from"Anderson Flowers in Iselin. "Band Of Gold" had everyone shaking their tushies all night long, and of course the always amazing Mike Simons behind the cinema lens doing video is the perfect way to capture the action!

|| Mike + Gina Simons ||

So this ugly couple wanted us to take their photo, we told them we don't shoot funny looking people but they insisted... LOL !! Ha Ha, just kidding, Mike + Gina are great friends of ours. Mike is actually the areas premier videographer and we are so blessed that he asked us to take some quick pics for them. We actually shot it in our backyard. We had a blast, and I think they look fabulous. Dinner was great too guys SAWA rocks! Thank you so very much.
