The Talent Factory's owner Dana Adames loved the above photo (it was one of my favorite's from the day as well) and when she wanted to have the five 8' windows of her studio's storefront tinted Dana decided on a vinyl photo display of my photograph. The printing came out great and it's a huge visual, even to cars driving by on Route 1. Thanks, Talent Factory!

It's been a very busy wedding season but I'm glad to find the time to indulge my culinary photo interests and these few photos here were just some of the photographic highlights. As you'd suspect, all the Chefs and their food were fantastic—thank you, Chefs and the AIWF—and a special thank you to hosts Chef Matt Gennuso and Kristin Gennuso of Chez Pascal for allowing me to invade their restaurant, front and back.

Dana Adames and her staff are such nice people to work with and watching their students become better dancers year after year is a treat. This year we tried something different with the Senior Company and I got to be a bit more creative. Here's five of my favorites:

As a photographer I always love an outdoor ceremony, but there is also something very classic and powerful about a church wedding.

Nothing like having a large white pickup truck show up to drive the bride and men to the reception.

It was a beautiful first dance, and then the real fun got started. Thanks very much, Kara and John! ]]> http://www.dadekianphoto.com/blog/2008/06/kara_and_john_june_7th_oceancl.shtml http://www.dadekianphoto.com/blog/2008/06/kara_and_john_june_7th_oceancl.shtml weddings church John Badessa Kara Passarelli King's Park Newport Newport Bridge OceanCliff St. Mary's wedding wine Tue, 17 Jun 2008 23:01:41 -0500 Xiu Zhi and Richard, May 31st, The Imperial Room Xiu Zhu and Richard, May 31, 2008 1
