HUGE Greek Wedding @ The Venetian....

We just shot a HUGE Greek Wedding at The Venetian in NJ. It's a vast, beautiful space with dramatic staircases and lavish catering. We started the day at the brides house with a hundred plus guests for a massive brunch, complete with a full Greek band playing traditional music.... with lots of toasts, smoking and drinkin !
After the full Greek Mass at a local church we drove to the Venetian for more drinking, eating and dancing. Tons of traditional dance, where the guests shower the couple with money.
We took the bride and groom to the in-door fountain and ornate staircase for photos. Very fun wedding !

Beach Wedding in The Bahamas

Beautiful beach wedding on the powder white sand of New Providence Island in The Bahamas.
The couple were married by a local Bahamian Minister, right at the waters edge. The bride walked down the 'aisle' cut into the sand and sprinkled with red and purple petals.
Afterwards we shot the wedding party and couple running on the beach - chased by hundreds of sea-guls !

Wedding @ THE NORWOOD (Private New York Club)

This was a really fun, stylish Wedding at the exclusive members-only NORWOOD CLUB in New York, at the end of last year.
The Club takes over an entire five level, double-wide 1800's brownstone. The ceremony was on the parlor level, with a sit down five course tasting-menu on the second floor and dancing to a cool DJ on the third floor nightclub / bar level.
We took the couple to the back garden for photos and really loved the classic New York fire-escapes and the 'house' with amazing high ceilings and huge paintings by local artists.

End of Year Thanks...

Thanks to all our wonderful clients and industry friends for making 2009 such a terrific year for 4Eyes Photography. Despite the tough climate we were blessed with one of our busiest years ever !
Highlights included photographing Alyssa Milano & David Bugliaro's magical 'country chic' wedding in the summer, at a private estate in NJ. Design & planning was by Colin Cowie Events and the guest list included some of Hollywood's most famous faces !
In addition to our studio on West 21st Street in Manhattan we also opened an office in Nyack NY, serving the Hudson Valley and Tri-State area, which has been keeping us busy !
Together with a host of fabulous city weddings, we also managed to dodge the rainy summer with some spectacular tented affairs on the water in Rye NY , Greenwich CT, Montauk NY and a beautiful event in NJ that will be featured in the 2010 issue of Real Simple Weddings - on sale in January 2010.
Wishing everyone a peaceful Holiday Season and wonderful New Year and look forward to hearing from you soon !

4EYES appear on the TLC television Show "Cake Boss" !

Scenes from the episode of 'Cake Boss' that will air November 15th @ 10pm ... !
Kellie & Rupert of 4Eyes will appear on an episode of next Season's hit TLC reality TV Show "CAKE BOSS".
Cake Boss is based on the adventures of Buddy Valastro, the master baker of Carlo's City Hall Bake Shop, in Hoboken NJ. 4Eyes appear photographing the bride & groom and wedding party, when buddy himself delivers the cake to the reception, held at The Liberty House in New Jersey.
The cake was actually a Groom Cake and was a surprise for the groom. It was an amazing replica of an extreme fighting ring, complete with two fighting figures ( which the groom was a big fan of).

4Eyes Photography shot the beautiful wedding at The Libery House in NJ, New York Harbor, back in August '09.

See 4Eyes in action on the TLC show, which will air on November 16th 2009 @ 10pm on the TLC channel.. Click HERE for local schedules.

Stylish Bowery Hotel Wedding

Mariko & Jim's wedding @ the ulta-chic BOWERY HOTEL.
Mariko was from Japan and Jim from Boston and the 2 got ready in separate rooms of their full floor apartment, just down the road from the wedding. This was a great opportunity for Kellie to get some fashion shots of Mariko while rupert hung with the guys and got some shots of the groom putting on his equally cool outfit !
We all jumped into limos afterwards and drove to SoHo and Washington Square Park for shots of the couple. The jumping shots are all real (!) and Jim was a trooper leaping into the air for the amazing "action" shot !
The weddding and reception were all held back @ The Bowery Hotel with the couple officially married by a friend who became ordained just for the event !
