Friday Top 5 * End of January!

It was a great week here in NYC, filled with the first snow for the winter (if you don't count that freak snow day October 28th of 2011), great music, and especially an important birthday today.  Which leads me too...

1. My cousin Marisa's 16th birthday.  Speaking of time flying...wasn't she just born yesterday?  But then again, that would mean I was 13 yesterday and I wasn't!  Happy birthday to the little sister I never had but have in you, cousin.  I love you so much!  (Isn't she beautiful?)

2. Dinner last Saturday with my best friend Lindsey, her husband Eloy and my "niece" Alexa, who's such a ham I can't stand it!  We had a great dinner at an Italian place on Long Island.  I love chopped salad and this was my one "must" for the dinner.  It was great.  All around, great. 

3. SNOW!  I had the most wonderful engagement session with Ali and George in a snowy park on Long Island.  See the sneak peek on my previous blog post,  here.  And a photo below of a snow covered NYC!

4. I made the cupcakes below for a bridal shower this past weekend.  A lot of effort was put into creating those gumpaste flowers (I made 65 of them!) but it was worth it!

5. Ingrid Michaelson Pop Up Concert!  She's one of my favorite artist and she performed for 30 minutes at Chelsea's Best Buy store this past Tuesday.  It was great and reminded my of why NYC rocks!  Her new album "Human Again" was also released that day and was #1 on iTunes!

HAPPY FRIDAY!

Alison and George * Engagement Session Sneak Peek

This is such a special engagement session - not only because George and Alison are amazing and too cute for words - but because it's my first in the SNOW!  Here's a sneak peek of their engagement session from this past Sunday (right after their three year anniversary) in the cold, cold, snow!

Thank you for braving the cold with me in the name of capturing your love.  It was worth it!

Happy Monday!

Thank You Cards

I am excited to start doing posts of products I offer my clients!  Thank You Notes are very popular amongst my brides and grooms - with good reason!  Of course you want to thank your guests for attending your wedding (and that's awesome gift they gave you) and there's nothing more personal than a card that has a photo of you on it.  Your family and friends will love them!   

The great thing about these cards is that front and back printing are included!  Each order is customized by me too.  It's really important that my clients receive extra special attention and personally designing all print products is another aspect of my business that makes Mikkel Paige Photography extra special.  

Happy Wednesday!

Vanessa and Aaron * November 26, 2011 * New York, New York

Capturing Vanessa and Aaron on their wedding day was an absolute joy.  Not only are they two of the most gorgeous people, both inside and out, but it was 62 degrees last Saturday as they tied the knot!  So to say it was an all-around gorgeous day is an understatement.  Here's a sneek peak teaser from some of our time spent exploring lower Manhattan before their ceremony!

Congratulations Vanessa and Aaron!  More photos to come soon!

Happy Wednesday!

I'm Thankful For...

Happy Thanksgiving!  I'm thankful not only for my family and amazing friends I get to spend today with (and everyday!) but for amazing followers and supporters like YOU!  And especially some amazing brides, grooms and families I work with.  I am very fortunate to love what I do!

Thanks to my awesome cousins for the incredible meal today.  Veggie side photo above!

Happy Thanksgiving Thursday!
