“Mr. Hollywood” & “Governor Bridgegate”

This weekend’s Wedding of Jillianne & Damen at the Elmira Country Club was a Star Studded Event for sure! The Grooms Dad, Ray, was a dead ringer for Hollywood Heartthrob George Clooney in 20 years. He also had a little Dick Van Dyke thrown in there, so for the rest of the weekend we settled on simply calling him “Mr. Hollywood” which he really ate up!!!
Then, we have the guest on the right, who was a dead ringer for NJ Governor Chris Christie! He even told me later in the evening that he was pulled over once by Pennsylvania State Troopers for speeding, and after they approached the car & he rolled  down his window & looked pissed off…..they both started stammering and apologized to the Governor for wasting his time with the mistaken traffic stop! He didn’t say a word & they never even asked for his license! LOL
I sure can pick those Celebrity Look-A-Likes! One of the fun parts of this job!

Mazza’s Monsoon Memories!

As I work my way through all the Images of this Wedding (I’m getting there kids), where it just POURED ALL DAY LONG, I wanted to take a moment & post a few of these so that I might make our Bride Christine smile in knowing that we still managed to get some BEAUTIFUL Images! THANKING GOD (and John!) for the Wonderfully HUGE Porches on the Lovely John Joseph Inn in Lansing, NY! Those Porches proved to be our LIFEBOAT on that rainy Saturday afternoon!

Celebrity Look-A-Like – Food Fight! John Belushi

A few weeks ago I ran into this fine chap at my buddy Matt Hufnagels Wedding….story is they either grew up, or went to College together. I swear to God, as soon as I saw him all I could think of was Belushi. So of course, being shy as I am, I introduced myself, started chatting and got around to the Belushi thing, and yes…he’s heard it a MILLION TIMES of course!
Mr. Blutoski….in person! Very Hilarious too!
“Over? Over?…Who said it’s over? Was it Over when the Germans Bombed Pearl Harbor?”

“Trust Me Boys…Just Trust Me!”

So it’s Cassie & my old buddy Matt’s Wedding Day.

I’m shooting the ladies through the early afternoon as they are getting ready at a local winery, and I have to meet Matt & his guys down in Downtown Watkins Glen on The Pier @ 2:30 to do our shots of the guys along the Watkins Harbor. I’m halfway there when Matt calls me and says “Watkins is just Nuts!” It’s the Cardboard Boat Regatta in full force, and traffic is barely moving. Parking spots? Good luck there! People ALL OVER EVERYWHERE! Our Pier idea is toast. OK……so this is where I’m Really, Really Good! Improvising! Creating Something out of Nothing!

As I’m driving, I remember that I just passed this great old, beat to hell cottage/farmhouse that I have passed a million times while heading up the lake to other Weddings. So I tell Matt to meet me there with the guys, and we’ll do our shoot right there. So the Boys arrive, and while getting out of their cars they all give me “THE LOOK”. I’ve seen it a Million times! Whenever I take clients to spots that I just know will be killer backgrounds, they ALWAYS give me this “LOOK” of total disbelief! “WTH are we going to do here” they always ask? This time they were also worried that the place was going to collapse on all of us! “So when exactly did the Beverly Hillbillies move out?” someone asked…lol and I’m chuckling all the while.

“Trust Me Boys! Just Trust Me!”….when you finally see what I’m creating here….you’ll ALL be telling me what a Camera God I TRULY AM! Like my hero David Letterman always says…..”There’s NO OFF POSITION on the GENIUS SWITCH!”
So Gentlemen……….What do you think now?
You’re Welcome!!!!
