This season has been one of the busiest for us at Impressions Photography. We have been thrilled and honored to be a part of so many beautiful weddings. Unfortunately time never seems to allow for us to post all of our events, however here are a few images from the many that we have recently photographed. These pictures were all taken by our photography team - Krista Kowalczyk, Tiffany Kelly and Lauren Smotrilla.

Attending the 2011 Bridal Market in New York was truly amazing. Seeing all of the next wedding trends and latest fashions was really a treat. The runway shows, meeting top dress designers and renowned event coordinators was alone enough to bring me back again next year. However, as you would expect from the worlds best wedding professionals, the parties that followed the days events were truly to die for.

Our evening started with a trip to Martha Stewart's headquarters in (not unlike the Impressions Photography studio) a very industrial-chic space. We timed our arrival just perfectly, as our entourage of wedding professionals was walking in, Martha was just leaving. She was gracious enough to stop to say hello to our group. I quickly snapped this photo of her with these super talented ladies:

Pictured are some of the most talented women in the industry: Alicia Trotta Valentino, Jessica Dal Santo, Kasey Conyers, Kelly McWilliams, Martha Stewart, Beth Chapman, Candise Coppala, Kristy Rice

We were also had to opportunity to meet Randy Fenoli of Kleinfeld and Say Yes to the Dress fame!

I did hand the camera over for a little bit! Photo above I am with Kelly McWilliams of Weddings By Socialites and below with Casey Conyers of Ohio based Bliss Wedding and Event Design.

It was truly a treat to attend this Bridal Market Party! To end the New York International Bridal Week events, The Knot held an amazing party at the New York Library.

I was so excited to be invited to attend the Pnina Tornai bridal fashion show at Kleinfeld this week. Getting a sneak peak at these amazing gowns (really works of art) and being among some of the wedding industries most notable celebrities was an honor.

Unfortunately we couldn't take home a beautiful dress, so a few pictures with Kelly McWilliams in the Kleinfeld bathroom mirror made for a great memento :)

Seeing this great artist at work was definitely a treat! Kelly McWilliams and I were able to sneak away from the events of the bridal market and spend an hour in Christian Siriano's New York studio while he worked on customizing the perfect gown for this bride to be!

I took a ton of fun pictures in his studio... but I don't want to give away any dress secrets till this wedding has passed!

Me :) Yep, I'm the photo geek!

A few days in NYC is always fun, but during the biggest bridal fashion event of the year it is beyond words! I just returned from the most exciting wedding event I could imagine. Spent time with some amazing designers, I got to meet some super talented wedding professionals and a little hobnobbing with Martha Stewart to boot! And of course, my camera was in hand for all of it!

Here is a preview of the fun that I had traveling with wedding planner and event designer Kelly McWilliams of Weddings By Socialites and hitting this awesome wedding industry event.

Kelly McWilliams talks weddings with designer Junko Yoshioka! So many stunning gowns, we were completely in awe!

and of course a little socializing over mimosas too! I had a blast with these four super talented event designers, Kelly McWilliams, Ali Phillips, Kasey Conyers and Candise Coppala. Loved catching up on the events of New York Bridal Week!

It was a huge honor to be a part of this special wedding! Joe, the groom, and I studied photography together at RIT in Rochester, New York several years ago. Joe has since become a very accomplished photographer, having traveled to exotic locations around the world photographing and managing shoots for several huge publications. So, when it came time for Joe and his beautiful bride Michelle to tie the knot, I was so thrilled that he trusted me to be the eye behind the camera! I loved being a part of this special wedding day. It was great to recconect with Joe again and meet Michelle too - and to be the lucky photographer that got to be a part of their beautiful day on the Jersey Shore!

Be sure and check out Joe's photography too!

Look who just turned one! Elise was a doll to photograph as always! Here are some of the pictures that we took of her while in Pennsylvania:
