Hello bloggers…

Today I’d like to share with you some images from Maya and Alex’s wedding, an over the top event full of love, glamour and lots of Vodka.  Maya was not only beautiful on the outside but an amazing down to earth person on the inside as well.  Alex, as sharp as they come and cool as some of the guys I grew up with.  A few vitals before I share the images: Ceremony/Reception: The Waldorf Astoria New York, gown: Monique Lhuillier, Styling: Didi Ben Abo, Decor: David Tutera,  Entertainment: Sky High Band,  Cinematography: my good friend and one of the coolest cinematographers I know Ray Roman, and photography: yours truly, Alain Martinez Photography

A special thanks to Natasha and Steven for recommending Maya and Alex to us, and an even greater thanks to my amazing team without whom I could not have pulled this 18 hour day.  My wife Angie and my main man Laz really came through in this event as they do every time of course.

Enjoy these images.

The first look…

Love the emotion captured by Laz on the image below.

OK, for those of you reading this post of Eastern European decent, please tell me why are all the women from Russia so beautiful???  Do they feed you something when you are growing up and that makes you all stunning? I’m just sayin’

Awesome shot below taken by Angie.

So by now you know that I like to take shots in the middle of the streets…..uh yeah, try that in New York City, but guess what we did it.  We stopped traffic in one of the busiest streets in NYC for the pictures below.

One of my favorite shots below from the whole wedding shot through a curtain of crystals.

I hope you all enjoyed these images as much as we enjoyed taking them.  Keep it locked here for more hotness coming soon.
