Month: April 2009

Ahhh April in Paris….well April in New York is a fine substitute. On the last week before our shooting season kicks in, Jane and I set up meetings with clients and some great wedding planners in Manhattan. We also managed to fit in a nice bistro lunch at Anthony Bourdain’s old workplace, Les Halles, along with visiting old friends in Brooklyn.
Yesterday we really enjoyed meeting with Jeannie, Elizabeth and Tamara of C & G Wedding and Event Planning. We were introduced to C&G in 2008 when we met Maggie, another colleague of C & G’s, at a Connecticut bridal show who showcased the CEO Bag, designed to help brides stay uber-organized during their planning process…which can be purchased here.
We are back in the NY metro area for a wedding in Great Neck this Saturday with the forecast of 80 degrees…we are ready…bring on summer!

We are very excited to have recently placed in a few contests with some images from Heather and Chris’ beautiful Oak Bluffs and Menemsha wedding last summer on Martha’s Vineyard:

WPJA Cake Cutting, 15th – I love this picture because they planned their whole reception around cutting the cake at sunset overlooking the ocean and it made for incredible light and an incredible moment.  To see more IRIS wedding photography, please go to www.photoiris.com and click on “enter weddings”.

JUDGES COMMENTS: A romantic picture. I love the light, the sun setting on right, warm glow adds to romanticism. The cake, bride and groom sort of lean towards same way, almost like as if one. I like the focus is on the cake, and bride and groom slightly out of focus works.



And then another image from their blessing won 14th place in the International WEDCOMP 08 contest:

You may remember that we shot the documentary-style project of the re-installation of the Swarovski chandeliers at the New York Metropolitan Opera late last summer for the 50th anniversary of Lincoln Center.  Now that the chandeliers are up, we have been hired by Swarovski again to capture product/architectural shots of the lit sputniks.  This was a completely different approach, slowing down…using a tripod, high apertures, low ISO and some off-camera lighting.  Part one of the project is to capture shots of the chandeliers in daylight:
