This summer has been HOT.  Not only the weather, but we have had some of the hottest most beautiful brides this past June. First off though lets start with a couple cool videos that were sent to me recently.

The first is of our Suzie working it at the Colon Club photoshoot in early June.  A project we do every year and you have certainly seen me talk about it in the past.  It is not only a project we are proud to be a part of, but one of the most fun and memorable weekends.  It changes your life!

I worked on a photshoot for some headshots for a fellow actor, friend and writer of Kevin’s named Susie Griswold with photographer Kermit Hayes.  OMG she is just the sweetest thing… and boy did we make her look fabulous!

So I can’t even begin to express my amazement at how many stunningly gorgeous brides we had in June.  Could it be they are all:

1) Just that gorgeous!

2) We are really fabulous!

3) We get to work with the best photographers in the biz!

 4) All of the Above

I say number 4!  So here we go!

First a whole slew of beauties with photographers

 Clark + Walker Studio

Ok Yeah, nuff said Arianne is just that stunning! As well as beyond chic!

And below Laura, There are brides from NY to Boston emailing to get photos of every angle of Laura’s low side twisty bun to recreate for their wedding!

Recently one of MMF’s weddings was featured on a new gorgeous wedding blog called  The Elegant Owl  “Daily Wedding Inspiration for the Elegant Bride.”

 The wedding of Ashley and Rich photographed by Matt Ramos. The great thing about this couple is that their parents are long time family friends and even had videos of the two of them playing in the bathtub when they were babies.  Well the two of them reunited and unexpectedly fell in love at an inpromptu get together of the two families in Boston.  The rest is history!

 What a beautiful couple.  Not to mention, two of Ashley’s bridesmaids are going to be MMF brides in 2010.

And a bit about Samantha herself:

Why, I’m the owner of SHWeddings! The Elegant Owl was born out of my love of owls and all things imaginative, colorful and classic(with a twist). When I’m not absorbing new and creative ideas, I’m dedicated to my wonderful clients at SHWeddings and snuggling on the couch with my incredibly supportive husband and cute-as-can-be dog, Lola.

Ok yeah, I am slowly updating pictures from our old blog posts, but this was too exciting to miss. Just after Christmas I received a phone call telling me I had been chosen to be featured in The Saratogian’s Bridal Issue of their monthly magazine “Spirit of Saratoga.”  The catch, I was in black sweat pants, comfy, but holey and covered in paint and the shop was in total disarray since we were repainting. Not to mention that I was leaving for the Dominican Republic in two days ( A gift from my very fabulous client Nancy.)

Well the interview was conducted over the phone and I asked the editor to contact my good friend and fabulous photographer JP at http://www.joeelariophotography.com/blog for photos of me for the article, cuz there was no way I was up for a photo shoot anytime soon.

Well it gets better… While looking at JP’s ever famous blog… the editors fell in love with a couple strolling down Broadway … Our January 2nd Bride Val Hamel and her husband Eric.  Ahhh, here is the best part…Val and Eric were chosen to be the cover of the magazine!!!

Here is the article and the photo of the amazing cover couple
