i can’t even begin to tell you how excited i was to photograph the beach wedding of mariealena & john d’agostino. as many of you may know i like to play poker, my wife would say i like to play a little too much. (; that’s neither here nor there.. but this bride & groom are in a whole different league of poker which only a few talented people can truly survive. if you have ever followed the game you may recognize john from his tv final tables during the wpt events or his play on high stakes poker cash games. they currently live right outside of atlantic city with their two adorable children, isabella and johnny.
the wedding was held at the 11th street beach in ocean city, right across the boardwalk from the historic flanders hotel. the weather was beautiful, everyone looked amazing, and the details were fantastic. speaking of details, the flowers and decor where the creation of the very talented, anthony delareto, from somers point florist. i highly recommend checking them out if you are looking to add some awesome to your next event.
since lauren is 9 months pregnant, she was unable to shoot with me this month. ); her baby bump gave me the opportunity to shoot with another photographer for the day. i figured i’d start my search at the top, so i called up poker fan and amazing photographer, [b]ecker. i was a little shocked, to say the least, when he agreed to fly himself across the country to come help me shoot the wedding. this kind of attitude and willingness to help speaks volumes of him and his character. i can honestly say that my business would not be where it is today without the information he shares on his blog and the community he created for photographers called the [b]school.
enjoy.
