    Jessica and James – Married Paris Caterers Blackwood, NJ

    I met Jess a couple years ago when she was modeling for a shoot in Philly, and I remember that her boyfriend James was waiting nearby to pick her up from the shoot. Fast forward a bit to the part where James put a ring on her finger. When Jess told me that she wanted me to shoot her wedding, I was beyond excited. Besides the fact that I had a fun, gorgeous bride to shoot I had heard such nice things about James from Jess. We didn’t actually meet James until the wedding day, but he was everything that Jess had told me he would be that day we did the Philly shoot. Jess and James decided that they wanted to do a “first look” where they would see each other and do photos before the wedding so that they didn’t have to rush, and they could relax and enjoy their cocktail hour. I actually love when couples do this because they get their own special moment without everyone watching, and I love the photos that come from that. Austin got to the park first, and he scoped out the perfect location for Jess and James first look down a wooded path. It was perfect.. smiles, laughter, tears…. but I’ll just let the photos do the rest of the talking. Jess and James, we are so happy to have met a couple so perfect for each other, and we are excited to share these images of your day!

    This is my little tribute to the dancing that happened at this wedding. This is the first time I have ever seen Krump/Clown dancing at a wedding. This dance floor had everything from the 2 step to slo-mo moves to the crazy dancing you see here..

    New Blog Site!

     

    Hey Everyone! Welcome to the new Issy Schmid Imaging blogsite! I am so excited to have this new blogsite up and running just in time to kick off this year’s wedding season. The best thing about this new site, is that you will no longer have to go to two different websites to see the blog and the portfolio galleries because it’s all here on one site! So now you will have all the features of my full website right along with the latest photos from my blog posts. This site is still a work in progress, so I will be adding more galleries for you to view, and getting some new blog posts up. I’m looking forward to another great season of awesome couples, beautiful weddings, fabulous events and adorable kids!

     

     

    Vanessa and Martin – Married Cherry Hill, NJ

    On the limo ride from the hotel to the reception I told Vanessa that I think we were seperated at birth. I knew as soon as I saw the shoes that she and the bridesmaids were wearing I knew it was going to be a good day. Vanessa had all my favorite things on her wedding day… colored shoes (in pink!), sparkles, an amazing dress, and she had the Britney station playing on Pandora. Could this day get any better? Well.. it did. I have to say that I felt more like a wedding guest that just happened to be photographing the day than I did the hired vendor. The bridesmaids felt like friends, and Vanessa and Martin even had a little table for us at the reception. Vanessa looked so gorgeous, and I couldn’t wait to see the look on Martins face as she was heading down the aisle. We took advantage of the snow we got that day, and got a few snowy portraits right before the party started.I also took what my be my all time favorite bridal party picture… in a hallway of all places… It was such a great day. I hope you guys are enjoying Vegas!

    My flower girl Victoria… growing up

    Almost 5 years ago when I asked Victoria to be the flower girl in our wedding I also made a commitment to be part of her life and be there for her for her big events. Sometimes you meet people who you just know were meant to be part of your life. Victoria, her little sister Amanda and her parents Michelle and Chuck are those people to us. We have been so lucky to be there for birthdays, holy communions, holidays and now…. the dance. I can’t believe how much these little girls have grown up. So, when Michelle called me to see if I could be there for Victoria’s dance, I couldn’t wait to see her all dressed up. Its crazy that the little girl who impressed everyone at my wedding with her dance moves was so grown up and ready for her own dance. I look forward to all the good times we have ahead of us with these guys.

    Michelle and Steve – Married Running Deer Golf Club

    What a way to close out my 2011 wedding season then with an awesome couple with a unique style. If I had to describe Michelle on her wedding day, I would say that she was my rock and roll barbie doll. They didn’t miss a thing when it came to the look and feel of the wedding from the cake topper, to the black birdcage veil, lace gloves, and some black sparkly shoes. The flowers were a perfect fit, and were done by one of my favorite florists Savannah’s Garden.

    The night before Michelle and Steve’s wedding I went to the midnight showing of Twilight Breaking Dawn. For anyone who has been reading this blog for a while you know how much of a Twilight fan I am, and that I am a sucker for a love story. So, I felt that what could be a better way then to show off a real life love story then to put together a slideshow to close out my wedding season. Of course, I still had the Twilight movie on the brain. I used that as my inspiration when putting this together, and used the song that Bella walked down the aisle to. So from a movie wedding to a real life one, check out this perfect wedding day.
