This was such a great day! My old friend and colleague Tom (with Sikora Photography) called me up to see if I could photograph Jane & Nate's wedding with him. His second shooter fell ill and he thought of me to replace her, since Tom and I had worked for many years together some time ago and we're confident around each other.  Thankfully, I was available, immediately got ready and went straight to St Mary's Cathedral to meet up with the bride. Lo and behold, this wedding ended up being a reunion of sorts for me! You see, Jane's family had hired Tom and I back in 2008 for Jane's sister's wedding too! Corinne (the sister) was one of Jane's bridesmaids and it was a blast seeing her again! So I essentially knew everyone there and it was even more fun to be a part of it! YAY :) PS: This is part of what it means to be a professional photographer involved with other wedding professionals. We have backups! We work well together and can always support ...

This is a little bit of a personal post. There's nothing wrong with being open and willing to share a bit of my own personal self with you too, right? ;) If any of you have read our about page here, you'll know that I was born in Roma and am an Italian citizen. Even if I've been in the awesome USA for 15 years, I love and miss Rome and when I decided to get my old album out of the shelf, I though to scan some of my old film images to show you here. I can't wait to go back to visit my family and friends and to take Josh with me too! Thanks for looking though this little slice of my world ;) <3 ~ Alice (ps: these are scans of regular 'ol 35mm 4x6 prints. they started off in color but had faded to something i wasn't happy with, so I applied a simple Sepia action to get them consistent. in case I have any technical people reading ;) Tarquinia

We had a blast! We were invited to participate in and photograph this fun night of dining and dancing by the fabulous ladies of Muse Event Planning. Friday February 17th was the night and so many fabulous local vendors came together to make it the success that it was. We were honored to be there and excited to share the photographs! Here are some highlight of the night, while below them is the link to the gallery where ALL of the images are. Thanks for looking! <3 The fabulous vendors involved: Alice & Josh of MoscaPhoto Christina, Angela and Holly of Muse Event Planning Microbrew Media for the stationary Barclay Event Rentals for the rentals Sophisticated Floral Design for the flower arrangements Paradox Productions for the music/DJ Green Light Creative for the LED lighting Urban Studio in the Pearl for the venue Linda Smith with Notes Of Celebration for the wonderful piano playing

Wedding albums. My goodness. They are SO fun to have. In this digital age, I see more and more people asking to eliminate professionally made wedding albums to make way for copies of image files. While I am ALL FOR diy-ing things to make them more personal, I also cringe at the notion of so many consumer companied on the web, out there, who offer super check (money wise AND cheaply made) books. If you are going to invest all of this time and money commissioning the most PERFECT wedding photographer for your wedding, I ask that you consider including professional products as well. That way, you get the full/complete/all-inclusive coverage that you and your wedding day deserves. This is not to say that we don't offer image files for you to use as well! In fact, we do! BUT, we also must convince you to allow us to give you the most in-house and custom-made and professional products known in the market. Our packages include prints and albums for this very reason. These are the product...
