These first two images are from Melissa's bridal session at The Stoneleigh Hotel. We had an awesome shoot working with both the modern and retro decor on both the penthouse level and on the first floor. The above image was taken in the hotel's restaurant with part of the original Stoneleigh sign as a backdrop.
Above also taken at the hotel but now in the bridal suite
Melissa gives a quick look at her hair and makeup while getting ready at The Adolphus Hotel.
What girl doesn't love a pair of Jimmy Choo's and a wedding dress?
The guys were thinking suspenders should make a comeback...
One of Jordan's signature bouquets... :)
Melissa gets some help from the bridesmaids with her heels just a couple of minutes before heading down to the sanctuary
Last chance for lips
Dad gives her one last kiss before the ceremony
Adam cracks up a bit during some portraits... you just can't take that stuff too seriously
One quick nervous moment as Adam heads from the guys room to the sanctuary for the start of the ceremony
Seeing his wife for the first time that day, and I think just trying keep it together a bit.
From this moment on the two of them were all smiles
Royal Lane is one of the most classic churches in the city and this evening it looked amazing.
Working their way through the vows..
The kiss...
Melissa and Adam are announced as man and wife for the very first time
From the moment when a couple leaves the alter until we begin the family photographs is always one of my favorite moments on a wedding day
A classic black and white moment leaving the church
Being congratulated by their friends and family
You have to love the attention to detail in this room from the chandeliers to the floral and the glow the lighting gave to the space
One of those signature type cakes from Frosted Art for the groom
Love these expressions as Melissa and Adam could finally relax after the first dance and just spend some time with their guests
Adam see's this cake for the first time
Stephanie and I asked if they wanted to take a quick breather from dancing to shoot a few pictures outside of The Belo and we caught this portrait of them... mostly likely laughing at me :)
We loved it all! Thank you so much for having us!
Best,
Stephanie and Joe

This was our first wedding of 2010 and it was awesome. We loved all of the attention to detail, beautiful decor and having the focus of the day be about family and the commitment of these two awesome people.
Natalie and her dad broke away from hair and makeup to spend a few minutes in the ballroom in order to practice their dance with one another
An awesome little choreographed number they did flawlessly
Putting on the garter
Paul in his tux... love the black shirt
Natalie was gorgeous in her gown
Finally a couple of tears as she leaves her mother to head for the ceremony
Evening is just falling outside as Natalie and her dad dash for the entry of the church
With a few minutes to spare Natalie and her dad spend a moment together
I caught this shot of dad holding the bouquet through the stained glass
The grand entrance
Paul's reaction

The kiss
Paul likes it...
"I can't believe it...we're married!"

OK... so as my good friend pointed out to me yesterday... I've been really bad about blogging over the last part of 2009 and the start of this year. So in order to fix it I'm going to be adding some weddings from Fall/Winter 2009 along with all of our awesome January 2010 weddings to the blog over the next few days.
I hope y'all enjoy the images and I'm going to work on making sure that all of our amazing couples make it onto the blog in 2010!
Best,
Joseph

my favorite is the one where she's smiling in the mirror while getting ready...it completely captures the amazing feeling you have on your wedding day of knowing what you're getting into and being so excited to be there!
