Our photographer!

Ok folks its time to reveal ... our wedding photographer!!!! ... We met with some amazing photogs (I will be posting about one particular photog that I thought was also wonderful a little later this week) ... but in the end when you know, you just know and even back in October and November of last year, I knew that I loved Stregoica photography! I posted about Dina over at Stregoica here and here after meeting her at four, count 'em four of my friends weddings!

Wanna see more .... check the flow ...

oh yeh ... this is why she's hot ...

So what do you think folks? Worth the wait?

So hot to trot

I am currently in full on search mode ... the search for a wedding photographer that is! And who benefits from this? You do of course, cause that means I peruse tons of real weddings and engagement shoots and share that best ish with you! Check out this engagement shoot from Matthew Sowa Photography. Its soo sexy and fun ... what's not to love?

PS: I am going out tomorrow to buy a pair of stockings just like Agatha has on here ... they just scream HOT!

The best things in life are free

Let me set a scene for you. The Big Guy and Bridechka have booked a place, they set a date, they have a Rabbi ... I mean they are really making this whole wedding deal happen. They need to send out Save the Dates since many of their guests will be coming from across the country and some from across the world. They want to make a photo save the date from VistaPrint but there's a problem - no truly great photos of them and certainly no wedding photographer booked yet. So what to do???

Well, here is what I did, I trolled the classifieds over at Weddingbee to find photographers offering free engagement sessions and I found a whole bunch! The first one to get back to me was Sandy of Sandy Jenete Photography and she was fabulous. We did a session with her in Battery Park about two weeks ago and the photos are in! I am going to need our guys' help to decide which one to use for the save the dates! 

Here is sneak peak ... more to come very soon!

You know what I love?

Worth a thousand words? Try a million!

Hello folks, today I am going to feature a truly talented photographer,

Dina Litovsky of Stregoica Photography

Dina is (like me) a Ruskie who grew up in New York. She has dealt with far more than her fair share of bridechkas and their ... ummm ... unique families and demands.
I have been to a number of weddings where Dina has worked her magic and I could try to describe how she has a true gift to capture a moment and a modern editorial approach on photography but I will just let her photos do the talking ... enjoy!
