For instance, last month we realized we were shooting at <a href="http://www.therockleigh.net/" target="_blank">Rockleigh Country Club</a> 3 weekends in a row. We've always loved the venue - it's grand appearance, pretty outdoor ceremony space, tons of hidden nooks to take romantic photos, great service and food. What we loved even more was how Allison and Rami made the Rockleigh their own.<br /><br />We started the day at the <a href="http://www1.hilton.com/en_US/hi/hotel/WODHIHF-Hilton-Woodcliff-Lake-New-Jersey/index.do" target="_blank">Woodcliff Lake Hilton</a> where Allison and the girls were abuzz with energy. (The entire bridal party was color coordinated in the cutest pink and green terry robes which made for cute photos!) Then off to Rockleigh where Allison got dressed.<br /><br />The whole day was really festive. Cocktail hour came first and the couple was busy preparing for their ceremony by signing the Ketubah and partaking in the Jewish rituals of Tisch and Bedeken. Because Rami's entire family is from Australia, we enjoyed how they actually flagged the hors d'oeuvres with American and Australian flags. We even caught one of Rami's groomsmen eating an "American Hot Dog!" Cocktail hour also included cool green signature kiwi martinis.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SLNcs21LLOI/AAAAAAAABRE/tE9PWfHuMrM/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Allison%26Rami_00550a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SLNcs21LLOI/AAAAAAAABRE/tE9PWfHuMrM/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Allison%26Rami_00550a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238632717264563426" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SLNc2dCA5mI/AAAAAAAABRM/-2__F4T9uDk/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Allison%26Rami_00589a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SLNc2dCA5mI/AAAAAAAABRM/-2__F4T9uDk/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Allison%26Rami_00589a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238632882137785954" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SLNcs7hJ_8I/AAAAAAAABQ8/Psll8_neZHg/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Allison%26Rami_00453a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SLNcs7hJ_8I/AAAAAAAABQ8/Psll8_neZHg/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Allison%26Rami_00453a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238632718522777538" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SLNcs_JX-VI/AAAAAAAABQ0/FiRs0ETTE7M/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Allison%26Rami_00443a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SLNcs_JX-VI/AAAAAAAABQ0/FiRs0ETTE7M/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Allison%26Rami_00443a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238632719496771922" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></div>The ceremony was next - outdoors and gorgeous. Followed by a rockin' reception. I think it's possible that Allison &amp; Rami had the wildest hora we've ever seen. We've all seen chairs, but how often do the guests launch the groom into the air and march him around on a table? In fact, the entire reception was wild. We can't say all the dancing was that coordinated, but we can say that everybody threw caution to the wind and let loose. What a blast!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SLNcsUpancI/AAAAAAAABQs/tLAkyRFKS2w/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Allison%26Rami_00040a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SLNcsUpancI/AAAAAAAABQs/tLAkyRFKS2w/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Allison%26Rami_00040a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238632708088438210" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SLNc25lNkGI/AAAAAAAABRc/vw0vgHSnyHo/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Rockleigh-2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SLNc25lNkGI/AAAAAAAABRc/vw0vgHSnyHo/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Rockleigh-2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238632889801609314" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SLNc3PpWRpI/AAAAAAAABRs/HxpJx8Uw9jA/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Rockleigh-4a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SLNc3PpWRpI/AAAAAAAABRs/HxpJx8Uw9jA/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Rockleigh-4a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238632895724537490" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SLNcsCpDWAI/AAAAAAAABQk/bOWE3_gMZNY/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Allison%26Rami_5.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SLNcsCpDWAI/AAAAAAAABQk/bOWE3_gMZNY/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Allison%26Rami_5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238632703255074818" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SLNc2seXiDI/AAAAAAAABRU/DT3HFOIJo30/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Allison%26Rami_00822a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SLNc2seXiDI/AAAAAAAABRU/DT3HFOIJo30/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Allison%26Rami_00822a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238632886283241522" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" ><a href="http://www.steventackeff.com/">www.steventackeff.com</a></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36090692-4757469330192427060?l=steventackeff.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Steven Tackeff Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09780246974712396881noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36090692.post-59749210194052162352008-08-23T20:07:00.009-04:002008-08-24T13:26:55.638-04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">Stolen Moments</span></span><br /></div><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Lindsay &amp; Dominick's Wedding</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Glen Island Harbour Club, New Rochelle, NY</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SLCs3y1fsVI/AAAAAAAABPU/BrnNPGG8Qp8/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Lindsay%26Dom_00056a.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SLCs3y1fsVI/AAAAAAAABPU/BrnNPGG8Qp8/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Lindsay%26Dom_00056a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237876441170817362" border="0" /></a>There was a lot to love about Lindsay and Dominick's Wedding Day. The weather was bright and sunny, the view from the <a href="http://www.glenisland-harbourclub.com/index2.html" target="_blank">Glen Island Harbour Club</a> was phenomenal, the dress was beautiful, heck even the food was fun to photograph (we loved the hot dog cart in the cocktail hour!)... we could go at length about each and every detail, but just pointing out that we got to spend the day with Lindsay and Dominick... well that should say it all. These two are fun and warm (and we felt like part of the family)!<br /><br />The other day somebody asked if we preferred capturing the portraits/formals or focusing on the candid moments during a wedding day. Well, we understand the importance of the family formals. Therefore, we do them "right" and do them "well." However, this can be a tedious part of the day for some couples (and sometimes for us too), so I'd have to say that we prefer capturing the essence of people. We like spending time with our brides &amp; grooms taking romantic photos that capture their unique chemistry. And we love capturing secret moments the way they are - big smiles, joyous outbursts, happy tears, silly dancing. We work just as hard during the reception, as we do capturing any other part of the wedding day. We love being stealth and prowling for the next great shot. So we decided to blog a few fun dance floor moments.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SLCtC8AB-dI/AAAAAAAABPk/dJzquzib0q0/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Lindsay%26Dom_00155a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SLCtC8AB-dI/AAAAAAAABPk/dJzquzib0q0/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Lindsay%26Dom_00155a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237876632609487314" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SLCtC2J065I/AAAAAAAABPc/y7a85VKmmx4/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Lindsay%26Dom_00092a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SLCtC2J065I/AAAAAAAABPc/y7a85VKmmx4/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Lindsay%26Dom_00092a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237876631039962002" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SLCtDe9sFNI/AAAAAAAABP0/VOSVk16M2Tw/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Lindsay%26Dom_00789b.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SLCtDe9sFNI/AAAAAAAABP0/VOSVk16M2Tw/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Lindsay%26Dom_00789b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237876641994904786" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SLCtDknafuI/AAAAAAAABP8/0HKEAU4xtdg/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Lindsay%26Dom_00838a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SLCtDknafuI/AAAAAAAABP8/0HKEAU4xtdg/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Lindsay%26Dom_00838a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237876643512090338" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SLCtKBkAKsI/AAAAAAAABQE/_lvNcGczm_0/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Lindsay%26Dom_00986a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SLCtKBkAKsI/AAAAAAAABQE/_lvNcGczm_0/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Lindsay%26Dom_00986a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237876754361625282" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SLCtKCuDrfI/AAAAAAAABQM/hPE4Pu_3oPI/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Lindsay%26Dom_01137a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SLCtKCuDrfI/AAAAAAAABQM/hPE4Pu_3oPI/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Lindsay%26Dom_01137a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237876754672233970" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br />We also want to send a shout out to <a href="http://www.celestestudios.com/" target="_blank">Celeste Studios</a>.

They claimed that not only do they not like being photographed, but that they were actually "bad" at posing. Steven and I took this as a challenge. We explained that we were there to photograph them, the way they truly are, and not force them to do anything overly posy posy or unnatural. We also explained that the most important part of the session was to get to know each other better so that on the wedding day, we weren't strangers.<br /><br />Most couples aren't used to being in front of the camera, and our engagement sessions allow us the opportunity to find out a lot - Are they romantic, spontaneous, silly, athletic, reserved? Do they need more instruction, or should be back off with long lenses and let them do what they do naturally?<br /><br />By the end of the session these two were smiling and interacting almost like we weren't there. If you asked, we think they'd even admit that they had fun. ;) We look forward to their wedding next month at Cafe Panache in Ramsey.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SJzpEyJfS4I/AAAAAAAABOU/JTcy8gFfXa0/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Rachel%26Danny_00027b.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SJzpEyJfS4I/AAAAAAAABOU/JTcy8gFfXa0/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Rachel%26Danny_00027b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5232313135487994754" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SJzpFTHdWUI/AAAAAAAABOs/b6jY4Tj-k8U/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Rachel%26Danny_00074b.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SJzpFTHdWUI/AAAAAAAABOs/b6jY4Tj-k8U/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Rachel%26Danny_00074b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5232313144337848642" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SJzpFKiaICI/AAAAAAAABOk/slD4y2cEYCY/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Rachel%26Danny_00071a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SJzpFKiaICI/AAAAAAAABOk/slD4y2cEYCY/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Rachel%26Danny_00071a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5232313142034964514" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 204, 255);font-size:180%;" ><a href="http://www.steventackeff.com/">www.steventackeff.com</a></span></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36090692-1265289631418028294?l=steventackeff.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Steven Tackeff Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09780246974712396881noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36090692.post-8972050205254786752008-08-06T16:57:00.006-04:002008-08-07T15:08:38.693-04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">Plays With Boats</span></span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SJoTitUn4dI/AAAAAAAABNk/Ios1jJ3arYE/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Larissa%26Joe_00034a.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SJoTitUn4dI/AAAAAAAABNk/Ios1jJ3arYE/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Larissa%26Joe_00034a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5231515404146827730" border="0" /></a><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Larissa &amp; Joe's E-Session</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Boat Basin, Englewood, NJ</span><br /><br />We took Larissa and Joe to The Englewood Boat Basin for their engagement session. Instead of focusing on the bridge view (where we often take couples) we decided to explore the small stretch of beach at the opposite end of the basin. After climbing the rocks, strolling the shore and wading in the water, we found something even more adventurous, the dock. Larissa and Joe had a blast looking at all the boats and posing amongst them for some fun snaps.

We recently had the opportunity to snap some fun photos of Kendall in her backyard. She gave us a tour of her swing set, flower beds and pool deck... jumping, swinging, running and flitting about the whole time. This kiddo has her moves down. We could tell she had been practicing her favorite poses because Hannah Montana has nothing on her!<br /><br />Steven and I really enjoy photographing children - especially environmentally (out of a studio) where they can get comfortable with their surroundings and just be themselves.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Enjoy this sneak preview of Kendall's portrait session. :)<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SI91KF0wNMI/AAAAAAAABL0/DAlIrxTHcrw/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Kendall_00015c.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SI91KF0wNMI/AAAAAAAABL0/DAlIrxTHcrw/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Kendall_00015c.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228526508623017154" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SI91KPDttaI/AAAAAAAABL8/5OVnD3wrHvs/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Kendall_00028b.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SI91KPDttaI/AAAAAAAABL8/5OVnD3wrHvs/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Kendall_00028b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228526511101687202" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SI91KbFXErI/AAAAAAAABME/rxeEI4DM3uY/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Kendall_00057a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SI91KbFXErI/AAAAAAAABME/rxeEI4DM3uY/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Kendall_00057a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228526514329817778" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" ><a href="http://www.steventackeff.com/">www.steventackeff.com</a></span></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36090692-2416493860954646121?l=steventackeff.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Steven Tackeff Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09780246974712396881noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36090692.post-6018972003132921192008-07-28T14:39:00.007-04:002008-07-28T15:23:34.037-04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);font-size:180%;" >'Neath Stormy Skies</span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Stephanie &amp; Michael's Wedding</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Brooklake Country Club, Florham Park, NJ</span><br /><br />If we could give an award to for the most memorable ceremony ever, Stephanie &amp; Michael would<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SI4bnh2xKAI/AAAAAAAABK0/6HRO3Cemeqs/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Stephanie%26Michael_00581a.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SI4bnh2xKAI/AAAAAAAABK0/6HRO3Cemeqs/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Stephanie%26Michael_00581a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228146583340656642" border="0" /></a> win, hands down. Summer thunderstorms can be unpredictable (at best) and there was much discussion and concern as to whether it might start to pour during the outdoor ceremony. In a last minute decision, the couple opted to stick with the original plans and wed underneath questionable skies. While the rain kept at bay, the scene was sooo dramatic with the dark rolling clouds and lightening on the horizon.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.brooklakecc.com/" target="_blank">Brooklake Country Club</a> was the perfect setting, for a beautiful wedding. We loved the couple's little personal touches... the framed family photos by the entranceway, the escort cards sitting on peat grass, the custom made card box, the lush green and orange centerpieces, the heirloom cake topper &amp; chocolate truffles served with dessert. Stephanie looked stunning in her vintage birdcage veil (and Michael was looking rather dapper in brown pinstripes). The band (<a href="http://www.stanallenmusic.com/bandbios.htm" target="_blank">White Light by Stan Allen</a>) was excellent and kept the the dancefloor packed! What a great wedding for these two lovebirds.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SI4bxxWZ3HI/AAAAAAAABLU/AFucqfYc48Y/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Stephanie%26Michael_00507a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SI4bxxWZ3HI/AAAAAAAABLU/AFucqfYc48Y/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Stephanie%26Michael_00507a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228146759298571378" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SI4bxDirtqI/AAAAAAAABK8/kSdp17nn5Bo/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Stephanie%26Michael_00139a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SI4bxDirtqI/AAAAAAAABK8/kSdp17nn5Bo/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Stephanie%26Michael_00139a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228146747002042018" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SI4bxSqLXGI/AAAAAAAABLE/mQjiLJKdzDg/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Stephanie%26Michael_00365b.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SI4bxSqLXGI/AAAAAAAABLE/mQjiLJKdzDg/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Stephanie%26Michael_00365b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228146751060008034" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SI4bxkxovUI/AAAAAAAABLM/94_TtCPjmpA/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Stephanie%26Michael_00456a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SI4bxkxovUI/AAAAAAAABLM/94_TtCPjmpA/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Stephanie%26Michael_00456a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228146755923131714" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SI4bx4Rbb5I/AAAAAAAABLc/MN8bEUdd3F4/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Stephanie%26Michael_00641a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SI4bx4Rbb5I/AAAAAAAABLc/MN8bEUdd3F4/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Stephanie%26Michael_00641a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228146761156751250" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SI4cAukqtbI/AAAAAAAABLs/HVqdnKzGorM/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Stephanie%26Michael_00971a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SI4cAukqtbI/AAAAAAAABLs/HVqdnKzGorM/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Stephanie%26Michael_00971a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228147016251127218" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SI4cAh1MkHI/AAAAAAAABLk/TiDqeA09xBk/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Stephanie%26Michael_00811a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SI4cAh1MkHI/AAAAAAAABLk/TiDqeA09xBk/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Stephanie%26Michael_00811a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228147012830793842" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;

The theme for his big day was Austin's Underwater Adventure and as you'll see shortly in my second installment... filled with fish, fantasy &amp; fun!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SIjIfT-2IPI/AAAAAAAABKE/mMJX2VipOSA/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Austin_00732a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SIjIfT-2IPI/AAAAAAAABKE/mMJX2VipOSA/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Austin_00732a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226647807828828402" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SIjIYZ8BfpI/AAAAAAAABJs/pv5R0vVRfOM/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Austin_00366b.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SIjIYZ8BfpI/AAAAAAAABJs/pv5R0vVRfOM/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Austin_00366b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226647689168518802" border="0" /></a></div> </div><br />We loved all the little details... one of our favorite highlights was that instead of traditional place cards, the kids received boarding passes to Austin's Voyage. The cake was a killer cruise ship (detailed down to the pool on deck), the tables had creative names like "Capt. Jack Sparrow's Crew" and "Elizabeth Swann's Spa," the candy bar was filled with gummy fish and blueberry sharks... and that was only part of the fun. Cocktail hour and reception boasted a taro reader, a henna artist, photo favors, casino games, airbrushed t-shirts and a packed dance floor. Of course, what cruise to adventure would be complete without "Captain Stubbing" acting as MC at the helm?<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SIjIYT5Nm1I/AAAAAAAABJ0/16D0gEIgQ9U/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Austin_00451a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SIjIYT5Nm1I/AAAAAAAABJ0/16D0gEIgQ9U/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Austin_00451a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226647687546116946" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SIjIYZ8BfpI/AAAAAAAABJs/pv5R0vVRfOM/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Austin_00366b.jpg"><br /></a></div>On a more serious note, we enjoyed celebrating such a momentous day in Austin's life with him and his family.

We met these two at the Wilshire Grand Hotel in West Orange, New Jersey. We started with all the typical preparation photos (and loved how determined her bridal party was to create a human shield in the lobby so guests wouldn't see Vicki in her dress until after the ceremony). Then off to St. Philomena's Church in Livingston, for a beautiful wedding mass. Family formals followed outside the church, and with a little wrangling we managed to fit Vicki's HUGE family into one rather well composed photo. Then off to party back at the W Grand!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">We wish these two every luck in the future!<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SHkXh_k3ZcI/AAAAAAAABIo/TmueK2iKNaM/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Vicki%26Jeff_00169b.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SHkXh_k3ZcI/AAAAAAAABIo/TmueK2iKNaM/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Vicki%26Jeff_00169b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5222231115681981890" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SHkbFt1CPSI/AAAAAAAABJQ/uWmnQosT3hg/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Vicki%26Jeff_00264a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SHkbFt1CPSI/AAAAAAAABJQ/uWmnQosT3hg/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Vicki%26Jeff_00264a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5222235027928136994" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SHkXiFtrOpI/AAAAAAAABIw/xPeMvw5NF4s/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Vicki%26Jeff_00363a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SHkXiFtrOpI/AAAAAAAABIw/xPeMvw5NF4s/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Vicki%26Jeff_00363a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5222231117329545874" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" ><a href="http://www.steventackeff.com/">www.steventackeff.com</a></span><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36090692-4138512414195144772?l=steventackeff.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Steven Tackeff Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09780246974712396881noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36090692.post-85464400067340521492008-07-09T01:47:00.012-04:002008-07-09T02:53:08.655-04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);font-size:180%;" >Arm in Arm</span><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:100%;"></span><br /></span></span> <div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Natasha &amp; Martino's E-Session</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />The Boat Basin, Englewood, NJ</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SHRZdZoXWoI/AAAAAAAABHI/qonYqL9sOYQ/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Natasha%26Martino_00034a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SHRZdZoXWoI/AAAAAAAABHI/qonYqL9sOYQ/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Natasha%26Martino_00034a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220896229660514946" border="0" /></a></div><br />It's amazing how the same park can feel so differently depending upon who you have in front of your lens. Even though we go to the Boat Basin a lot (it's right around the corner from us and has so many photographic opportunities), Natasha and Martino brought their own happy vibe to our favorite shooting space.<br /><br />Natasha and Martino were hesitant at first. They were concerned they wouldn't pose right, or be able to loosen up. After a few minutes and a little guidance, these two forgot we were watching and adjusted to the session. We loved how Martino just naturally wrapped Natasha in his arms. They looked so comfortable and content during these moments together.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SHRfw1XoY6I/AAAAAAAABII/CmEi8BHQT0k/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Natasha%26Martino_00049c.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SHRfw1XoY6I/AAAAAAAABII/CmEi8BHQT0k/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Natasha%26Martino_00049c.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220903160593802146" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SHRfD-o73kI/AAAAAAAABHo/bT77wlYd-sA/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Natasha%26Martino_00067b.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SHRfD-o73kI/AAAAAAAABHo/bT77wlYd-sA/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Natasha%26Martino_00067b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220902389988187714" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SHRYvWMQw1I/AAAAAAAABGo/ElPOMXfCLlQ/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Natasha%26Martino_00031b.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SHRYvWMQw1I/AAAAAAAABGo/ElPOMXfCLlQ/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Natasha%26Martino_00031b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220895438463353682" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SHRfc3I8CWI/AAAAAAAABH4/OOqNL0u1Cbk/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Natasha%26Martino_00053b.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SHRfc3I8CWI/AAAAAAAABH4/OOqNL0u1Cbk/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Natasha%26Martino_00053b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220902817471662434" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.steventackeff.com/">www.steventackeff.com</a></span></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36090692-8546440006734052149?l=steventackeff.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Steven Tackeff Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09780246974712396881noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36090692.post-29973642068868367272008-06-30T20:54:00.010-04:002008-07-12T16:52:41.613-04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);font-size:180%;" >It's a Bird...

Bernie hacked and reprogrammed Tammy's Nintendo <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">DS</span> and altered her version of <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Bejeweled</span> so that when she reached a certain score, the screen would clear and a pink sapphire ring would fall from the sky.

Thank you so very much for your patience on portrait day (three outfits were a lot, I know!!) as well as the tremendous talent you channeled through your lenses.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">Alicia &amp; Sung</span><br /></div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SF7-hpexgWI/AAAAAAAABDE/yjuYnGIfPEU/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Alicia%26Sung_00083a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SF7-hpexgWI/AAAAAAAABDE/yjuYnGIfPEU/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Alicia%26Sung_00083a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214885272565678434" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SF7-huZENHI/AAAAAAAABDM/iP3KIUisdbM/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Alicia%26Sung_00114c.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SF7-huZENHI/AAAAAAAABDM/iP3KIUisdbM/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Alicia%26Sung_00114c.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214885273883915378" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SF7-hyqeQ2I/AAAAAAAABDc/qN1v62Fxxg8/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Alicia%26Sung_00184a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SF7-hyqeQ2I/AAAAAAAABDc/qN1v62Fxxg8/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Alicia%26Sung_00184a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214885275030668130" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SF7-hy3QZQI/AAAAAAAABDU/w7_MNlAOsaE/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Alicia%26Sung_00164a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SF7-hy3QZQI/AAAAAAAABDU/w7_MNlAOsaE/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Alicia%26Sung_00164a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214885275084285186" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SF7-hoYU-II/AAAAAAAABC8/f2x0WtSotNY/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Alicia%26Sung_00039a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SF7-hoYU-II/AAAAAAAABC8/f2x0WtSotNY/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Alicia%26Sung_00039a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214885272270207106" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-size:85%;"> </span><br /><a href="http://www.steventackeff.com/">www.steventackeff.com</a></span></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36090692-9014451568392452416?l=steventackeff.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Steven Tackeff Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09780246974712396881noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36090692.post-43051179244431443422008-06-20T16:51:00.006-04:002008-06-20T17:37:06.631-04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">White Hot</span></span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span><br /></span></span> <div style="text-align: left;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SFwaRq1BBqI/AAAAAAAABBo/iJqN_plvJc8/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Michelle%26Norbert_00074a.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SFwaRq1BBqI/AAAAAAAABBo/iJqN_plvJc8/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Michelle%26Norbert_00074a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214071359444944546" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">Michelle &amp; Norbert's E-Session</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Boat Basin, Englewood, NJ</span><br /><br />We took Michelle and Norbert to the Englewood Boat Basin for their engagement pics. Since we've been conducting so many sessions lately, and many in the different areas of the Basin, it has been fun to see how different couples bring different chemistry and personality to their sessions.<br /><br />Michelle and Norbert were convinced that they weren't going to be "good" at having their photos taken, but within minutes they had relaxed their way into the session. We loved the way they worked their arms around each other and the intensity of their eyes.

We know that at times things got a little crazy yesterday dealing with a demanding time frame and photo schedule. Through all of that, the two of you were incredibly professional and helped ease us through some difficult moments. We know that your job is a tough one and we really appreciate the time, care, dedication and hard work you put into the photos. Numerous people at the wedding mentioned how cordial you are and how they felt at ease with you taking pictures of them. As an editor from the Boston Globe mentioned on your website, you don't have to be a critic to know that Steven Tackeff's pictures are amazing, all you need is your own two eyes. We know that this will ring true for our pictures and we are so excited to see them! We are going to recommend you to all of our friends, both hyper and nonchalant as it is evident that you can work with any personality type. Thank you for capturing the most important pictures of our young adult lives. </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0); text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"> With the warmest regards, </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">Todd &amp; Stephanie<br /></span></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div> </div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" ><a href="http://www.steventackeff.com/">www.steventackeff.com</a></span><br /></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36090692-7122847947643169932?l=steventackeff.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Steven Tackeff Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09780246974712396881noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36090692.post-55917670010451768562008-06-13T16:21:00.003-04:002008-06-13T16:27:15.458-04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">Goodbye Tim.</span></span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SFLXbOE98iI/AAAAAAAABAw/TLtYl6pCpNs/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_TimRussert_Blog.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SFLXbOE98iI/AAAAAAAABAw/TLtYl6pCpNs/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_TimRussert_Blog.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5211464581456458274" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Steven and I just learned that Tim Russert passed away.

We loved the Candy Land theme to their rehearsal dinner. Each table had a giant glass apothecary jar stuffed with a different colorful candy. The best part, because everybody loves candy, is that it encouraged everybody to travel to the different tables to mingle and fill up their <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">goodie</span> boxes with treats.<br /><br />Just as sweet were the night's toasts and roasts. We thought the highlight of the night was <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">definitely</span> the power point presentation of what Todd gained by marrying Stephanie (let me tell you the tax incentives are looking pretty good). The <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">slideshow</span> was hilarious and we were excited to have some of our engagement photos up there honoring these two.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SE27zf23BPI/AAAAAAAABAo/51X_BuqN2sw/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Todd%26Stefanie_RD_00229c.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SE27zf23BPI/AAAAAAAABAo/51X_BuqN2sw/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Todd%26Stefanie_RD_00229c.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210026837336851698" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Photos from their <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Rockleigh</span> Country Club wedding the next day will be following shortly!<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">How sweet it is...<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SE27y--HpRI/AAAAAAAABAY/xbyJprSTQdg/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Todd%26Stefanie_RD_00050a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SE27y--HpRI/AAAAAAAABAY/xbyJprSTQdg/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Todd%26Stefanie_RD_00050a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210026828508931346" border="0" /></a></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SE27zMOz4HI/AAAAAAAABAg/jnDfJ4Vj-sk/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Todd%26Stefanie_RD_00077a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SE27zMOz4HI/AAAAAAAABAg/jnDfJ4Vj-sk/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Todd%26Stefanie_RD_00077a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210026832068599922" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" ><a href="http://www.steventackeff.com/">www.steventackeff.com</a></span><br /></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36090692-201825685013556608?l=steventackeff.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Steven Tackeff Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09780246974712396881noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36090692.post-61440182300419018492008-06-04T19:57:00.006-04:002008-06-05T19:08:39.658-04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">Grand-Standing</span></span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Lindsay &amp; Dominick's E-Session</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Grand Central Station, New York City, NY<br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SEc2ZMMC19I/AAAAAAAABAI/qvMjZZxGwLk/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Lindsay%26Dominick_00011b.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SEc2ZMMC19I/AAAAAAAABAI/qvMjZZxGwLk/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Lindsay%26Dominick_00011b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5208191300473640914" border="0" /></a></div><br />Every now and again a couple convinces us to brave the bridge traffic and head into NY for a photo session. When we heard that Dominick had proposed to Lindsay in Grand Central Station, it seemed like the ideal backdrop for their engagement session - and well, how could we resist?!<br /><br />Photo sessions inside Grand Central are normally on the challenging side. Not only do we have to consider all the technical aspects (getting the permit, traveling with the right equipment, figuring out the light...) but it's such an awe-inspiring iconic space. On top of all of that, it's filled with regular NYer's going about their every day commute who are always willing to stop just long enough to stare (making it hard for many couples to get really comfortable. Trust me, it's hard to get intimate when strangers are pulling out camera phones!).<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SEcvL-Wr7GI/AAAAAAAAA_g/1cswew6WALQ/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Lindsay%26Dominick_00058b.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SEcvL-Wr7GI/AAAAAAAAA_g/1cswew6WALQ/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Lindsay%26Dominick_00058b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5208183376840485986" border="0" /></a></div><br />All that said, when you have the good spirits and the excitement that Lindsay and Dominick have for each other, it doesn't matter what type of distractions there are. It's apparent that they only have eyes for each other! These two were great sports and we had an amazing time exploring the station, leaning on pay phones, twirling on ramps, holding really still and trying to find as many nooks and crannies as possible together!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">We can't wait for the wedding this July at the Glen Island Harbour Club!<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SEcvLhnAtkI/AAAAAAAAA_Y/UttEMaRp7d8/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Lindsay%26Dominick_00014a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SEcvLhnAtkI/AAAAAAAAA_Y/UttEMaRp7d8/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Lindsay%26Dominick_00014a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5208183369124329026" border="0" /></a></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SEcvMFSYzYI/AAAAAAAAA_o/0tQZipcNK9E/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Lindsay%26Dominick_00108b.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SEcvMFSYzYI/AAAAAAAAA_o/0tQZipcNK9E/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Lindsay%26Dominick_00108b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5208183378701503874" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SEcvMbRhhVI/AAAAAAAAA_w/I6LFckxuke8/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Lindsay%26Dominick_00114b.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SEcvMbRhhVI/AAAAAAAAA_w/I6LFckxuke8/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Lindsay%26Dominick_00114b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5208183384603460946" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SEcvMqQZvmI/AAAAAAAAA_4/wlFMFRDaikM/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Lindsay%26Dominick_5209a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SEcvMqQZvmI/AAAAAAAAA_4/wlFMFRDaikM/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Lindsay%26Dominick_5209a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5208183388625288802" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 255);"><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">Wow!

We loved the purple starred yarmulkes and Halley's big smile. She showed off her Torah skills for us prior to the ceremony, and then we were off to the <a href="http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/ewrpr-park-ridge-marriott" target="_blank">Park Ridge Marriott</a>.<br /><br />One thing I know, this family can throw a party! We're giving big kudos to <a href="http://www.debbies-designs.com/index.html" target="_blank">Debbie's Designs</a> who helped metamorphosize the ballroom into HalleyWood - complete with palm trees, film reels and a velvet roped walk of fame.

So we thought, how could we make their session in New Jersey be a little more out of the box and romantic? We decided to take a few risks and came up with some really sexy silhouettes. :)<br /><br />We took these two to the Ross Dock's in the Palisades Park System. We spent time climbing stairs, exploring tunnels and then enjoying the bridge view.<br /><br />Funny aside: Steven kept trying to set up a second flash in the tunnel and it worked flawlessly (until I touched it). The second I would lay a finger on the flash, it would stop functioning until he reset it. He insists that my girl cooties don't mesh well with his flash. *shrug* Maybe he's right! Oddly, the flash worked the next day without incident (granted he wouldn't let me touch it).<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SDXMnhUta_I/AAAAAAAAA8I/Bl5hFdvm5II/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Allison%26Rami_00040a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SDXMnhUta_I/AAAAAAAAA8I/Bl5hFdvm5II/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Allison%26Rami_00040a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5203289923828673522" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">We look forward to Allison &amp; Rami's Wedding at Rockleigh CC in July!<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SDXMnRUta9I/AAAAAAAAA74/v_BycbkWvy0/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Allison%26Rami_00009a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SDXMnRUta9I/AAAAAAAAA74/v_BycbkWvy0/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Allison%26Rami_00009a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5203289919533706194" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SDXMnxUtbBI/AAAAAAAAA8Y/6SvUnCxGOe8/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Allison%26Rami_00053b.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SDXMnxUtbBI/AAAAAAAAA8Y/6SvUnCxGOe8/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Allison%26Rami_00053b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5203289928123640850" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SDXMnhUtbAI/AAAAAAAAA8Q/7NQJYADFcVY/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Allison%26Rami_00051a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SDXMnhUtbAI/AAAAAAAAA8Q/7NQJYADFcVY/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Allison%26Rami_00051a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5203289923828673538" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">We have to admit that we were a bit nervous that we wouldn't be able</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">to bring our "Top Model" game faces, but Steven and Brooke made us</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">feel so comfortable, we almost forgot they were there!

We always knew we liked these two, as their tastes in music are similar to ours and they are just so easy to get along with (although the Winger thing.... I dunno) haha.<br /><br />We eased them into the session by having them hang out together and just interact. We backed away, shooting them with long lenses and before long they went from hesitant to rockin' the session. Soon, we were climbing hills, hanging by the skyline, sitting on benches, playing in soccer nets, running on a football field, sitting on bleachers and more! If this session is any indication of how much fun we're going to have with them at their upcoming wedding at Brooklake CC this June - well, we know we're psyched!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SDSLbiLLOGI/AAAAAAAAA7Y/GJ9zDxs5AlU/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Stephanie%26Mike_00121c.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SDSLbiLLOGI/AAAAAAAAA7Y/GJ9zDxs5AlU/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Stephanie%26Mike_00121c.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5202936774666172514" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SDSLRSLLOBI/AAAAAAAAA6w/cFT0NPGsa2c/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Stephanie%26Mike_00036a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SDSLRSLLOBI/AAAAAAAAA6w/cFT0NPGsa2c/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Stephanie%26Mike_00036a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5202936598572513298" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SDSLSCLLOEI/AAAAAAAAA7I/T4qes5nsTXs/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Stephanie%26Mike_00095a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SDSLSCLLOEI/AAAAAAAAA7I/T4qes5nsTXs/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Stephanie%26Mike_00095a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5202936611457415234" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SDSLbiLLOFI/AAAAAAAAA7Q/tRTz9ZN74Ok/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Stephanie%26Mike_00106a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SDSLbiLLOFI/AAAAAAAAA7Q/tRTz9ZN74Ok/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Stephanie%26Mike_00106a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5202936774666172498" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Steven and Brooke are so wonderful.

So book quickly! We will only taking on as many sessions as can comfortably fit into our schedule.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">The session will be identical to our standard 'get to know you' engagement sessions, but must take place in New Jersey near our Fort Lee studio. The sessions will run roughly an hour in length. Afterwards we will present you with your own private password protected gallery of images for easy viewing, sharing &amp; ordering. There is no obligation to buy any photographs, but all of our extras (prints, wall portraits, gallery wrapped canvases, albums, signature boards/books, and so on, will be available from our a la carte menu). There is also no obligation to book us to capture your wedding memories, although we hope you will consider us.<br /><br />Simply put, we are offering these sessions because we are excited to start off our wedding season with some friendly new faces and because we love what we do! We have the best job in the world and Steven and I are so lucky to be able to do it together. :)<br /><br />To see some samples of our engagement photos you can visit our website - <a href="http://www.steventackeff.com/">www.steventackeff.com</a> - and check out our engagement gallery and/or click the 'engagement' label at the bottom of this post to see some recent blog entries.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Steven &amp; Brooke<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Please call or </span><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="mailto:brooke@steventackeff.com">email</a><span style="font-weight: bold;"> to schedule your session.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">201.308.9186</span><br /></div></div></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.steventackeff.com/">www.steventackeff.com</a></span><br /></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36090692-4046530273845267089?l=steventackeff.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Steven Tackeff Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09780246974712396881noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36090692.post-81746185795086031972008-05-02T11:35:00.011-04:002008-05-05T14:20:49.027-04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">Down By The River</span></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SBs4yjKliXI/AAAAAAAAA3Q/14e_odHUERM/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography-Stefanie%26Todd-00087.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SBs4yjKliXI/AAAAAAAAA3Q/14e_odHUERM/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography-Stefanie%26Todd-00087.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195809036186257778" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Stephanie &amp; Todd's E-Session</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Port Imperial, Weehawken, NJ</span><br /><br />We met Stephanie &amp; Todd at Port Imperial for some fun engagement photos. It was the first time Steven or I had ever explored the new ferry station, but were excited to train our lenses on it after having driven by so many times (and we weren't disappointed). The terminal itself was very modern and Stephanie &amp; Todd dove right into the session getting romantic down one of the cylindrical causeways.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SBs6ejKliaI/AAAAAAAAA3o/3zhmP-NMkH0/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography-Stefanie%26Todd-00069.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SBs6ejKliaI/AAAAAAAAA3o/3zhmP-NMkH0/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography-Stefanie%26Todd-00069.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195810891612129698" border="0" /></a></div><br />After leaving Port Imperial itself, we wandered nearby to take in the skyline view. We found benches, lamp posts, the never ending black fence, some pretty trees, and a giant crater filled construction remnants! Ok, Stephanie &amp; Todd win the award for indulging us and our wild ideas! We actually pulled off a really neat set of photos in a concrete egg! The photos look like the end of the world, pretty wild!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SBs6mjKligI/AAAAAAAAA4Y/1P046VfFSQI/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography-Stefanie%26Todd-617.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SBs6mjKligI/AAAAAAAAA4Y/1P046VfFSQI/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography-Stefanie%26Todd-617.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195811029051083266" border="0" /></a></div><br />These two were a blast and were such easy subjects!

All in all, an amazing and extremely friendly crowd!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SBZy6jKliUI/AAAAAAAAA24/KBEUSiayR-M/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Jackie%26Matt_419b.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SBZy6jKliUI/AAAAAAAAA24/KBEUSiayR-M/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Jackie%26Matt_419b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194465570416068930" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SBZy6zKliVI/AAAAAAAAA3A/E3VnFNSm-UE/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Jackie%26Matt_00432.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SBZy6zKliVI/AAAAAAAAA3A/E3VnFNSm-UE/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Jackie%26Matt_00432.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194465574711036242" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SBZy_zKliWI/AAAAAAAAA3I/srUBCR5tk0Q/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Jackie%26Matt_1176a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SBZy_zKliWI/AAAAAAAAA3I/srUBCR5tk0Q/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Jackie%26Matt_1176a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194465660610382178" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SBZy6TKliTI/AAAAAAAAA2w/kd8S5ip5EXA/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Jackie%26Matt_00127a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SBZy6TKliTI/AAAAAAAAA2w/kd8S5ip5EXA/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Jackie%26Matt_00127a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194465566121101618" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />Enjoy!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SBZy5TKliRI/AAAAAAAAA2g/KFOxPOqRNA8/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Jackie%26Matt_94.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/SBZy5TKliRI/AAAAAAAAA2g/KFOxPOqRNA8/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Jackie%26Matt_94.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194465548941232402" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.steventackeff.com/">www.steventackeff.com</a></span><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36090692-3812965277038112423?l=steventackeff.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Steven Tackeff Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09780246974712396881noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36090692.post-6992652211757007462008-04-22T00:31:00.009-04:002008-04-22T01:05:18.055-04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);font-size:180%;" >Westmount Country Club</span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">Here We Come!</span></span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Steven and I officially have a wedding date!

We had rescheduled their first engagement session on account of rain, so when it snowed the next weekend we were a little worried. However, Jackie and Matt were determined to make the weather work for them, and work it did.<br /><br />Steven and I decided to to take these two, to the park next to our house. This park is literally touching our home, yet we have never taken a photo in it before. When we woke up that morning, there was such a beautiful white blanket of snow on the ground. The green handball wall we have overlooked so many times before, appeared so vibrant in contrast that we couldn't resist a few quick snaps.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/R89i6-aVpEI/AAAAAAAAAyw/bg2wOxFLGEA/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Jackie%26Matt_00055.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/R89i6-aVpEI/AAAAAAAAAyw/bg2wOxFLGEA/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Jackie%26Matt_00055.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5174463262197392450" border="0" /></a></div></div><br />From there we ended up at Allison Park in Englewood Cliffs. The park was closed on account of the snow, but we had no problem finding cute nooks and crannies along the perimeter of the entry way... the fence, the trees, the snowy pathways all made for great photographic opportunities.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/R89mDeaVpII/AAAAAAAAAzQ/2cAtvvThfsE/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Jackie%26Matt_00166.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/R89mDeaVpII/AAAAAAAAAzQ/2cAtvvThfsE/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Jackie%26Matt_00166.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5174466706761163906" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/R89mD-aVpJI/AAAAAAAAAzY/0nupe6nvYQs/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Jackie%26Matt_00082.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/R89mD-aVpJI/AAAAAAAAAzY/0nupe6nvYQs/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Jackie%26Matt_00082.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5174466715351098514" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/R89i7eaVpGI/AAAAAAAAAzA/Bk2saq26kzQ/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Jackie%26Matt_00112.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/R89i7eaVpGI/AAAAAAAAAzA/Bk2saq26kzQ/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Jackie%26Matt_00112.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5174463270787327074" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/R89i7OaVpFI/AAAAAAAAAy4/f0UiDndCHos/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Jackie%26Matt_00100.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/R89i7OaVpFI/AAAAAAAAAy4/f0UiDndCHos/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Jackie%26Matt_00100.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5174463266492359762" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/R89i7-aVpHI/AAAAAAAAAzI/h_56rpjuPG8/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Jackie%26Matt_00212.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/R89i7-aVpHI/AAAAAAAAAzI/h_56rpjuPG8/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Jackie%26Matt_00212.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5174463279377261682" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />We look forward to Jackie &amp; Matt's upcoming wedding at Tappan Hill!<br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.steventackeff.com/">www.steventackeff.com</a></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36090692-8760074164819140751?l=steventackeff.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Steven Tackeff Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09780246974712396881noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36090692.post-50100048575447171742008-02-20T13:28:00.004-05:002008-02-20T13:33:50.626-05:00<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">Special Delivery!</span></span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Check out these beauties!

Steven ended up taking me on a dinner cruise.</span><br /><br />We had a private table. At the start of dinner Steven gave me a Valentine's Day card. I thought he might have been proposing so I got a little choked up... but no ring! The card was sweet, it touched on our lives together and about being together for all this time.<br /><br />We talked, remarked how nice it was to take a night away from the office, ate, danced a little... and then after dessert we went to look out at the water. I turned to look at Steven and he had the ring box. Inside was a piece of paper that said, "Will You Marry Me" in about 30 different languages. In typical me fashion I responded, "Where's English?" - to which he responded (in English), "Will You Marry Me" and gave me the ring.<br /><br />I of course said yes.</span></span></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 255); font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Where/When are you getting married?</span><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >We have no idea.

Most are from out of the area and would require flying in. I think this is a small price to pay to capture once in a lifetime memories. In the end, a lot of whom we decide to hire will depend upon the location of our wedding.

I mean every wedding we photograph is special, but this one was special for a different reason. Rikki has been one of my closest friends for a long time so it was so exciting to be there to watch her marry Simon. I was attending as a guest as you'll see in the group shot (I'm behind Simon) and Steven came as my camera toting date.<br /><br />The wedding took place at The Grain House at the <a href="http://www.oldemillinn.com/" target="_blank">Olde Mill Inn</a> in Basking Ridge, NJ. The couple was surrounded by their closest family and friends. Highlights included penguins of all shapes and sizes, a warm inviting room, a ring 'bear'-er and smiles all around. Gifts were exchanged... there was a ton of laughter... and NJ State Senator Cardinale even issued an official proclamation in honor of Rikki &amp; Simon's union!!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/R6jHtiqfn7I/AAAAAAAAAxM/2EkJGD5VDDY/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Rikki%26Simon_00181.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/R6jHtiqfn7I/AAAAAAAAAxM/2EkJGD5VDDY/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Rikki%26Simon_00181.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5163596557993353138" border="0" /></a></div><br />This is Rikki &amp; Simon's first wedding.

The concept is simple - a photo is printed directly onto 12x12 aluminum panels and arranged as a grid of hanging columns held together by metal rings. The metal panels are then configured into any size or any shape to create a totally modern and totally unique piece of art.<br /><br />We knew from the moment we saw these pieces that we wanted to start offering them to our clients. We started talking to their rep, asking all sorts of questions... Well, after the show we got a call from them asking if we'd allow them to use one of Steven's entertainment images as the display piece for the upcoming Imaging USA Expo in Tampa Florida.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/R5GUKIeE7hI/AAAAAAAAAw8/h0d6EOeyzH8/s1600-h/11+copy.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/R5GUKIeE7hI/AAAAAAAAAw8/h0d6EOeyzH8/s320/11+copy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5157065950109167122" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Enjoy some photos of the piece hanging in their booth!

We are willing to go above and beyond for all those in need of a little help right now - especially those with weddings coming up quickly.<br /><br />We want to help ease the transition so you can get back to be excited about what really matters, your wedding!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Please call or email to check our availability:<br />201.308.9186<br /><a href="mailto:steven@steventackeff.com">steven@steventackeff.com</a><br /><br />Steven &amp; Brooke<br /><br /><span style="font-size: 180%;"><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.steventackeff.com/">www.steventackeff.com</a></span><br /></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36090692-3202083951878166669?l=steventackeff.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Steven Tackeff Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09780246974712396881noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36090692.post-52984542596312102072008-01-04T00:49:00.000-05:002008-01-04T01:15:03.891-05:00<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">Rima &amp; Len: Album Pick-Up</span></span><br /></div><br />Every time an album leaves here we are sad to see it go, but we are always equally ecstatic to relive the memories of such a special day with the couple.

Well, they were up for anything and we were feeling quirky. We decided to take them to Fort Lee High School because we had been eying the big red doors, towering stairs and geometric archways for some time. After having fun skipping, rolling in the grass, leaning against brick walls and roaming the campus a bit, we decided to keep going!<br /><br />Next stop was the Metropolitan Plant Exchange. Maria &amp; Chris found the perfect pumpkin which they later carved into an awesome bat (whereas our pumpkin had a much less ambitious outcome - lol). We roamed the aisles looking at plants and poking at pumpkins. All in all, a fun and not so traditional session!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/R1mzQ16WHiI/AAAAAAAAAtc/RcUT43IWPvQ/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_MariaChris_00064.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/R1mzQ16WHiI/AAAAAAAAAtc/RcUT43IWPvQ/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_MariaChris_00064.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5141337551551208994" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">We are looking forward to their wedding at The Atrium Country Club in August!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/R1mzRF6WHkI/AAAAAAAAAts/7Zyx3iqyOYQ/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_MariaChris_00172.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/R1mzRF6WHkI/AAAAAAAAAts/7Zyx3iqyOYQ/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_MariaChris_00172.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5141337555846176322" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/R1mzRl6WHlI/AAAAAAAAAt0/66YcD-AConQ/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_MariaChris_00173.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/R1mzRl6WHlI/AAAAAAAAAt0/66YcD-AConQ/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_MariaChris_00173.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5141337564436110930" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">It was very exciting to open my email today and find that we were posted on the blog!

The view from the wall of windows as the sun went down was beautiful - only bested by the twinkling lights of the skyline after night fell (and believe us when we tell you that the view outside was no match for the party inside).<br /><br />We loved their personal touches - the bagpipes, the grooms cake in the shape of a John Deere tractor, their framed seating chart, the photo montage playing in the corner of the room...<br /><br />This was our second family wedding. For those of you who are avid ST Blog readers, you may remember that earlier in the summer we photographed Dawn &amp; Zeeker's wedding at the Venetian. It's a rare treat when we get to photograph two sister getting married especially within the same year. We love their family. We're heartbroken that there aren't anymore sisters! hehe.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/R0J8ftsbCnI/AAAAAAAAAtE/NtLW8S-ASsw/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Robin%26Patrick_01263a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/R0J8ftsbCnI/AAAAAAAAAtE/NtLW8S-ASsw/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Robin%26Patrick_01263a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5134803409439492722" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/R0J8e9sbCjI/AAAAAAAAAsk/jGLV5Y0nheo/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Robin%26Patrick_00295a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/R0J8e9sbCjI/AAAAAAAAAsk/jGLV5Y0nheo/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Robin%26Patrick_00295a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5134803396554590770" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/R0J8ldsbCoI/AAAAAAAAAtM/sY7ndP5vw1o/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Robin%26Patrick_01513a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/R0J8ldsbCoI/AAAAAAAAAtM/sY7ndP5vw1o/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Robin%26Patrick_01513a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5134803508223740546" border="0" /></a></div> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/R0J8fNsbCkI/AAAAAAAAAss/Oh-DJ7Qysz0/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Robin%26Patrick_00377a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/R0J8fNsbCkI/AAAAAAAAAss/Oh-DJ7Qysz0/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Robin%26Patrick_00377a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5134803400849558082" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/R0J8fdsbClI/AAAAAAAAAs0/lUKkhjqB8rc/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Robin%26Patrick_00408a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/R0J8fdsbClI/AAAAAAAAAs0/lUKkhjqB8rc/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Robin%26Patrick_00408a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5134803405144525394" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/R0J8fdsbCmI/AAAAAAAAAs8/cMQ6AAkZqIg/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Robin%26Patrick_00485a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/R0J8fdsbCmI/AAAAAAAAAs8/cMQ6AAkZqIg/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Robin%26Patrick_00485a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5134803405144525410" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 255);font-size:180%;" ><span style="color: rgb(153, 255, 153);font-size:100%;" ></span><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.steventackeff.com/">www.steventackeff.com</a></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36090692-3598213314389567090?l=steventackeff.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Steven Tackeff Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09780246974712396881noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36090692.post-79165592990599847252007-11-14T18:12:00.000-05:002007-11-14T18:24:15.119-05:00<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);font-size:180%;" >Family Fun!</span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Holiday Portrait Session</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Ross Docks, Fort Lee, NJ</span><br /><br />Being outside with two energetic and adorably photogenic faces, is exactly why Steven and I became photographers.

It has been pointed out to me that we are behind on our blogging. How behind you might ask. Well, somebody (ok me) neglected to blog Meghan and Mathew's amazing Las Vegas Destination Wedding from July 7th. Yes, July.<br /><br />Meghan and Mathew decided to celebrate 7/7/07 by starting their married life together in Las Vegas. According to the news, Meghan and Mathew were not alone. About 3,000 other brides also decided to try their "luck" at a life of happiness in the luckiest city in the world. The day was filled with amazing energy and white dresses!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/Rzt9DkhYVqI/AAAAAAAAArk/M6wpuwUjQn8/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Vegas_00238.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/Rzt9DkhYVqI/AAAAAAAAArk/M6wpuwUjQn8/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Vegas_00238.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5132833700615575202" border="0" /></a></div><br />Meghan &amp; Mathew choose the MGM Forever Grand Chapel for their wedding, followed by a cake and champagne reception in their suite. Afterwards we stole the couple for some fun portraits along the strip stopping at The Bellagio to admire the Chihuly glass ceiling and sunlit courtyard. We also made a quick dash for the 'Welcome To Las Vegas' sign, but ultimately couldn't spend more than a few moments outdoors as the limo's thermometer registered 127 degrees on the pavement! Then off to dinner at Todd English's Restaurant Olives. Finally, to cap off their magical evening everybody enjoyed Cirque du Soleil's, "O." We left the exhausted (but ecstatic) couple by the rising water's of the Bellagio Fountain.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/Rzt9DUhYVpI/AAAAAAAAArc/trgDvUjPY04/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Vegas_00228.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/Rzt9DUhYVpI/AAAAAAAAArc/trgDvUjPY04/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Vegas_00228.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5132833696320607890" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">The pictures are fantastic. I'm really at a loss for words at how great the pictures are. Not only are the portraits just beautiful, but I'm really blown away at the little things, both wedding related and not wedding related, that you managed to get that really round out the story of the weekend. It really made my day to see those images. I've seen so much of your and Steven's work that I knew you took great photos, but when I saw what you and Steven were able to do with my own wedding, it was a whole different story in a surreal sort of way. I'm just so amazed and grateful for your work.

It's a really hospitable environment.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RyuHjs53XMI/AAAAAAAAAqc/uJ5culXnOQs/s1600-h/ST-10-29-07-JPG+-+046a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RyuHjs53XMI/AAAAAAAAAqc/uJ5culXnOQs/s320/ST-10-29-07-JPG+-+046a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5128341648110476482" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Of course no photo shoot would be complete without a few quick photos of me! ;) Thanks Steven!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RyuHj853XNI/AAAAAAAAAqk/pBlQw0diECw/s1600-h/ST-10-29-07-JPG+-+077a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RyuHj853XNI/AAAAAAAAAqk/pBlQw0diECw/s320/ST-10-29-07-JPG+-+077a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5128341652405443794" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"></span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 204, 255);font-size:180%;" ><a href="http://www.steventackeff.com/">www.steventackeff.com</a></span><br /></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36090692-229378363879032887?l=steventackeff.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Steven Tackeff Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09780246974712396881noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36090692.post-54492798902006609752007-10-24T13:54:00.000-04:002007-10-24T19:39:47.558-04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">Another Year, Another Expo!</span></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></div><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold;">Photo Plus Expo</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Javitz Center, NYC</span><br /><br />Steven and I went to the Photo Expo at the Javitz Center.

Even though we haven't seen the pictures yet, we have so much confidence that we'll have amazing pictures to choose from. We received numerous comments from everyone how wonderful our engagement photos were and the fact that you always seemed to be there to capture all of the special moments the day of the wedding. At no point did we need to worry about getting a picture taken... we knew you were on top of it. Thank you for being a part of our special day -- we especially love the patented "Steven chicken bok boks" :).<br /><br />The both of you work so well together and have such an incredible ability to make people feel comfortable in front of the camera. Thank you for all of your creativity and laughs throughout the day.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Chris and Elisa Richmond :)</div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">(Steven would like to assure everybody that no chickens were harmed in the production of his "bok boks." :) <span style="font-style: italic;">Defination of a bok bok:</span> The sound Steven makes when children and/or family members are being stiff during the formals to elicit smiles.)<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RuXhFC9OVTI/AAAAAAAAAmc/hcw3REmNy_c/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Elisa%26Chris_00466a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RuXhFC9OVTI/AAAAAAAAAmc/hcw3REmNy_c/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Elisa%26Chris_00466a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5108736829130954034" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RuXhFC9OVSI/AAAAAAAAAmU/p5BBApCGyuI/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Elisa%26Chris_00422a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RuXhFC9OVSI/AAAAAAAAAmU/p5BBApCGyuI/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Elisa%26Chris_00422a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5108736829130954018" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RuXhRi9OVXI/AAAAAAAAAm8/V1bdPxt7VNI/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Elisa%26Chris_00929b.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RuXhRi9OVXI/AAAAAAAAAm8/V1bdPxt7VNI/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Elisa%26Chris_00929b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5108737043879318898" border="0" /></a></div><span style="font-size:78%;"> </span><br /><div style="text-align: center;">We loved being a part of Elisa &amp; Chris' Wedding!

We began at her cousin's home (filled with family and great energy) followed by their ceremony at Holy Cross Church in Harrison (what amazing architecture)!<br /><br />After the ceremony, the couple popped a bottle of champagne surrounded by their guests (check out the photo of their toast) before heading to a park for some fun romantic photos. We had fun exploring the benches by the fountains and walking through the long white tunnel.<br /><br />Soon it was reception time, and we headed to <a href="http://www.bergenbanquets.com/" target="_blank">Gatsby's of Cresskill</a> for a great evening filled with food and dancing.

When we arrived at <a href="http://www.tarrytownhouseestate.com/" target="_blank">Tarrytown House</a> we found Jacque surrounded by her closest friends. Makeup, flowers, dresses... a chaotic excitement filled the room. We snapped photos of the entire bridal prep, until Jacque was ready to be united with Rick for their "first sight" on the outdoor Terrace.<br /><br />Then there was the fun round of romantic portraits of the couple, followed by family formals on the immaculate Tarrytown House Grounds, all preceding their picturesque garden ceremony. The Wedding was filled with personal touches - among our favorites were the string quartet, the Polaroid guest book, the candlelit place card table with its sweeping branches and their elegant white florals that decorated the reception room.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RqwrONWZdkI/AAAAAAAAAic/T1yLxrgBoA4/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Jacque%26Rick_00229a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RqwrONWZdkI/AAAAAAAAAic/T1yLxrgBoA4/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Jacque%26Rick_00229a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5092492801750955586" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Enjoy this small view into Jacque &amp; Rick's Special Day!<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RqwrOtWZdnI/AAAAAAAAAi0/yCFXA_x953E/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Jacque%26Rick_00571a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RqwrOtWZdnI/AAAAAAAAAi0/yCFXA_x953E/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Jacque%26Rick_00571a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5092492810340890226" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RqwrOtWZdmI/AAAAAAAAAis/P2kFJRQCHzI/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Jacque%26Rick_00307a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RqwrOtWZdmI/AAAAAAAAAis/P2kFJRQCHzI/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Jacque%26Rick_00307a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5092492810340890210" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RqwrO9WZdoI/AAAAAAAAAi8/CmrovUTc9RA/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Jacque%26Rick_00682a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RqwrO9WZdoI/AAAAAAAAAi8/CmrovUTc9RA/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Jacque%26Rick_00682a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5092492814635857538" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RqwrOdWZdlI/AAAAAAAAAik/-0uOed3BRr8/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Jacque%26Rick_00274a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RqwrOdWZdlI/AAAAAAAAAik/-0uOed3BRr8/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Jacque%26Rick_00274a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5092492806045922898" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RqwrVNWZdpI/AAAAAAAAAjE/Ulw5aXSRyPI/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Jacque%26Rick_01327a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RqwrVNWZdpI/AAAAAAAAAjE/Ulw5aXSRyPI/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Jacque%26Rick_01327a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5092492922010039954" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The lovely lady dancing with Jacque is one of our upcoming September brides, Clarissa (neat huh!). :)<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RqwrVtWZdqI/AAAAAAAAAjM/jhGljAE8A80/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Jacque%26Rick_01343a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RqwrVtWZdqI/AAAAAAAAAjM/jhGljAE8A80/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Jacque%26Rick_01343a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5092492930599974562" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 255);font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:78%;"> </span><br /></span></span><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 255); font-size: 180%;"><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.steventackeff.com/">www.steventackeff.com</a></span><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36090692-6400159816941761720?l=steventackeff.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Steven Tackeff Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09780246974712396881noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36090692.post-15687495721288750342007-07-24T00:27:00.000-04:002007-09-21T13:29:17.419-04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);font-size:180%;" >Rockin' The Rockleigh</span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Lanette &amp; Michael's Wedding</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Rockleigh Country Club, Rockleigh, NJ</span><br /><br />Everything about this wedding was lovely.

First off, what a good looking couple - they both radiated happiness. Lanette looked gorgeous - from the second we walked into the room where the girl's were getting ready at the <a href="http://www.hiltonwoodclifflake.com/" target="_blank">Woodcliff Lake Hilton</a>, she glowed. Michael looked dapper in his tux - although his best accessory was his huge smile that he couldn't stop flashing at his new wife.<br /><br />The <a href="http://www.therockleigh.net/" target="_blank">Rockleigh Country Club</a> was the perfect backdrop for this magical evening. The level of service (beautiful grounds, amazing food) was top notch. The outdoor ceremony by the fountains was breathtaking, the cocktail hour was so colorful, full of amazing foods only rivaled by the vienesse desserts later in evening, the band <a href="http://www.sumar.com/" target="_blank">Sumar Entertainment</a> kept the dance floor going, and the room just sparkled full of energy and the chandeliers reflecting on the marble floor.

Who knows what future couple will find their blog entry?! :) Ahhh, the mysteries of cyberspace. hehe.<br /><br />We headed out to Ross Docks with Kim &amp; Demetro for their engagement session. It was already approaching evening and the sky was getting dusky - the bridge was lit - the park was empty - a calm, romantic backdrop for the session. These two needed very little instruction as they just fit together perfectly. Kim &amp; Demetro were really fun to photograph as they have such a great connection.<br /><br />We can't wait to be a part of their wedding in a few weeks at the Crystal Plaza in Livingston. What a beautiful venue for this beautiful couple.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">~ Enjoy! ~<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RpeYUAa2iLI/AAAAAAAAAgs/_trQMbvBgdU/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_KimDemetro_kd_00057a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RpeYUAa2iLI/AAAAAAAAAgs/_trQMbvBgdU/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_KimDemetro_kd_00057a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5086701773615696050" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RpeYUga2iOI/AAAAAAAAAhE/GTanF_Za4KI/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_KimDemetro_kd_00096b.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RpeYUga2iOI/AAAAAAAAAhE/GTanF_Za4KI/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_KimDemetro_kd_00096b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5086701782205630690" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RpeYUga2iPI/AAAAAAAAAhM/fsVAP-zYM1g/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_KimDemetro_kd_00152b.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RpeYUga2iPI/AAAAAAAAAhM/fsVAP-zYM1g/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_KimDemetro_kd_00152b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5086701782205630706" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RpeYUQa2iMI/AAAAAAAAAg0/zGA15Ed_fzw/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_KimDemetro_kd_00058a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RpeYUQa2iMI/AAAAAAAAAg0/zGA15Ed_fzw/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_KimDemetro_kd_00058a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5086701777910663362" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RpeYUQa2iMI/AAAAAAAAAg0/zGA15Ed_fzw/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_KimDemetro_kd_00058a.jpg"><br /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RpeYUQa2iNI/AAAAAAAAAg8/Jzk-9ZmXI1A/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_KimDemetro_kd_00066a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RpeYUQa2iNI/AAAAAAAAAg8/Jzk-9ZmXI1A/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_KimDemetro_kd_00066a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5086701777910663378" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 255); font-size: 180%;"><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.steventackeff.com/">www.steventackeff.com</a></span></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36090692-177229385663738336?l=steventackeff.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Steven Tackeff Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09780246974712396881noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36090692.post-7925701000536143612007-07-11T19:05:00.001-04:002007-09-21T13:30:02.168-04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">An Afternoon In Hoboken</span></span><br /></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Amy &amp; Jeremy's E-Pics</span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RpVkZ5zvrKI/AAAAAAAAAfs/yFGkEcT7nLk/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Amy%26Jeremy_00239a.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RpVkZ5zvrKI/AAAAAAAAAfs/yFGkEcT7nLk/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Amy%26Jeremy_00239a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5086081750362205346" border="0" /></a> <span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Pier A Park, Hoboken, NJ</span><br /><br />We met Amy &amp; Jeremy in Hoboken - in front of the Black Bear Bar &amp; Grill to be precise.

We had fun watching Amy &amp; Jeremy playfully interact among the geometrically spaced benches, trees and fun sculptures. The weather was nice (hopefully a precursor for their August 11th beach wedding at Water's Edge).

Here we had smooth sailing (minus some rogue jewelry). We took tons of outdoor photos and had a good laugh when the flower girl accidentally knocked herself and Allison to the ground - gown and all. Sooo adorable! Then off to St. Francis Church in West Nyack to see Chris for the first time.

So many photographers get in the way of too many moments, but the two of you were hidden in the background capturing everything.

But well, what is it?<br /><br />We are getting a lot of inquiries for some really fun &amp; funky sessions where the bride (and most times groom) get back into their wedding duds and just let loose. The session can be as simple as a laid back set of romantic images, or as wild as a romp in the surf, a waterfall, or through the city... (or lets board a plane and explore the world). Whether you're looking for something mild, medium or spicy, we'd love to help create some really memorable photos.<br /><br />Below is a video segment that recently aired on Good Morning America talking about this recent trend.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=3285825" target="_blank">~ Trash The Dress Video on GMA ~</a></span><br /><br />Call or <a href="mailto:steven@steventackeff.com">email</a> to set up your own session!<br />201.308.9186<br /><span style="font-size:78%;"> </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 255); font-size: 180%;"><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.steventackeff.com/">www.steventackeff.com</a></span><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36090692-5530378389647292309?l=steventackeff.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Steven Tackeff Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09780246974712396881noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36090692.post-72297806635464333862007-06-16T15:54:00.000-04:002007-09-21T13:32:08.027-04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">Summer Lovin'<br /></span></span></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Clarissa &amp; Shawn's E-Pics</span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RnRFiIw5_3I/AAAAAAAAAds/FtQnOzfV99Y/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Clarissa%26Shawn_00217b.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RnRFiIw5_3I/AAAAAAAAAds/FtQnOzfV99Y/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Clarissa%26Shawn_00217b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5076759132723871602" border="0" /></a> <span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Ross Dock, Fort Lee, NJ</span><br /><br />Clarissa and Shawn have chemistry.

But we are equally excited to be seeing her in the bridal party of her best friend Jackie's wedding coming up next week. Pretty cool!<br /><div style="text-align: center;">~ Enjoy ~<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RnRFu4w5_8I/AAAAAAAAAeU/2GRhJAixE6I/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Clarissa%26Shawn_00211a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RnRFu4w5_8I/AAAAAAAAAeU/2GRhJAixE6I/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Clarissa%26Shawn_00211a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5076759351767203778" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RnRFuow5_5I/AAAAAAAAAd8/SN5NMomgaX8/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Clarissa%26Shawn_00066a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RnRFuow5_5I/AAAAAAAAAd8/SN5NMomgaX8/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Clarissa%26Shawn_00066a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5076759347472236434" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RnRFuow5_4I/AAAAAAAAAd0/bNrgOnx4XGc/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Clarissa%26Shawn_00059a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RnRFuow5_4I/AAAAAAAAAd0/bNrgOnx4XGc/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Clarissa%26Shawn_00059a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5076759347472236418" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RnRFuow5_6I/AAAAAAAAAeE/T64gNwWtxcA/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Clarissa%26Shawn_00077a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RnRFuow5_6I/AAAAAAAAAeE/T64gNwWtxcA/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Clarissa%26Shawn_00077a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5076759347472236450" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"> </span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(255, 204, 255);"><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 255); font-size: 180%;"><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.steventackeff.com/">www.steventackeff.com</a></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36090692-7229780663546433386?l=steventackeff.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Steven Tackeff Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09780246974712396881noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36090692.post-3730859697864377712007-06-12T00:37:00.000-04:002007-07-11T19:25:47.590-04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/Rm4m24w5_sI/AAAAAAAAAcU/m3rJSD7Xi7c/s1600-h/StevenTackeffPhotography_Ro%26Cami_00800a.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/Rm4m24w5_sI/AAAAAAAAAcU/m3rJSD7Xi7c/s320/StevenTackeffPhotography_Ro%26Cami_00800a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5075036554485432002" border="0" /></a><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">Our Big Italian Wedding!</span></span><br /></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ro & Camillo's Wedding</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />The Valley Regency, Clifton, NJ</span><br /><br />Watching Ro & Camillo get married was like watching friends take their vows.

She came with her sister to discuss, the next Cao family wedding! We are very excited to be a part of Phuong & Douglas' Wedding Day and look forward to their June's nuptials aboard a boat cruising out of NY. How cool is that?!<br /><br />Also present was Vincent, Dao &amp; Kurt's little cutie. This, of course, meant that I was left to fill out the paperwork because Steven was much too busy making funny animal noises and taking some fun snaps. We were all laughing that Vincent is going to be the new 'Steven Tackeff Photography Poster Child' for all our advertising as he couldn't keep his hands (or mouth) off our business cards. Enjoy!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/Rh6xa6YgglI/AAAAAAAAAUE/H_gWjwE4zmw/s1600-h/Vincent_DSC_0109sq_StevenTackeffPhotography.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/Rh6xa6YgglI/AAAAAAAAAUE/H_gWjwE4zmw/s320/Vincent_DSC_0109sq_StevenTackeffPhotography.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5052670907863040594" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/Rh6xYKYggjI/AAAAAAAAAT0/10WnClQsF_Y/s1600-h/Vincent_DSC_0011_StevenTackeffPhotography.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/Rh6xYKYggjI/AAAAAAAAAT0/10WnClQsF_Y/s320/Vincent_DSC_0011_StevenTackeffPhotography.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5052670860618400306" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/Rh6xZaYggkI/AAAAAAAAAT8/kr51rsmjI8Y/s1600-h/Vincent_DSC_0024a_StevenTackeffPhotography.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/Rh6xZaYggkI/AAAAAAAAAT8/kr51rsmjI8Y/s320/Vincent_DSC_0024a_StevenTackeffPhotography.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5052670882093236802" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 255); font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" ><a href="http://www.steventackeff.com/">www.steventackeff.com</a></span></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36090692-7240497686699950789?l=steventackeff.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Steven Tackeff Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09780246974712396881noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36090692.post-6972870944534659872007-04-03T10:36:00.000-04:002007-04-03T12:58:54.418-04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sign Up For The New ST Newsletter</span></span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Last night we launched our first ever Steven Tackeff Photography Newsletter!

However if you would rather an individual session or a more specialized full day environmental portrait package, please do not hesitate to contact us for information.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Please contact us for additional information on becoming a marathon leader or to schedule an individual session!<br /><br />201.308.9186<br /><a href="mailto:info@steventackeff.com">info@steventackeff.com</a><br /><br />------------------------<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);font-size:180%;" >Create Your Own E-Gallery !</span><br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: left;">Your guests will be coming from far & wide to your wedding. But do they really know your fiance? Do they really know the love this wedding is based upon? Well why not show them?!<br /><br />We can take your favorite moments from your engagement session and turn them into 1-6 beautiful wall sized gallery wrapped canvases and place them on easels leading into your reception hall, in your cocktail hour, or around your place card table. Then after the wedding, you can walk away with amazing art for your wall (or, present your parents each with a canvas during the wedding)!<br /><br />Because gallery wraps are beautifully printed with the canvas 'wrapping' around the edges, they can be displayed without framing for a clean artistic presentation. This is a fantastic way to showcase your Engagement or Wedding Memories! Create instant art!<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></div><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold;">------------------------</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);font-size:180%;" >Have Passport Will Travel</span><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RhJ76JgzFuI/AAAAAAAAATc/6ErnKhxc2Y4/s1600-h/PalmTrees.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG8t5pjr9jk/RhJ76JgzFuI/AAAAAAAAATc/6ErnKhxc2Y4/s200/PalmTrees
