The Bride’s Cafe – Vote for Veils

How wonderful to wake up this morning and find my work featured on one the top wedding blog sites. Please check out my good friend Janie Medleys beautiful blog “The Brides Cafe” for some daily wedding inspiration. I don’t know how she does it daily! Like myself, Janie has just done a total remodel of her blog recently and I can truly appreciate the work involved. The new site is amazing! I’m always honored to be featured on her site. She features the work of what I consider the top wedding photographers of our day, so it’s always a pleasure for the eyes. Today she is having a vote for your favorite wedding veil/headpiece. So go on, cast your vote!

As seen in “Style Me Pretty”

When checking my blog stats I noticed that one of my amazing weddings of 2008 was featured this week on the beautiful wedding blog “Style Me Pretty” and they said some very kind words about my photography. It was the very creative wedding of Roseann and Paal that took place at the FUEL House in Philadelphia.  Beautiful Blooms of Philadelphia were the highly creative design team for this beauty. You can check out Part One and Part Two on Style Me Pretty.

Birth Announcement – The NEW Artoflove

It’s been 10 years in the making, but it’s finally arrived…. my brand new web site ARTOFLOVE. I have had the same html website since I began Marie Labbancz Photography back in 1999. My couples all told me how much they loved the old site so I was very hesitant to change it. It’s been very hard letting go, but I really think I needed a site that could display my images in a larger size and faster load time. I have not been blogging as much of late because I’ve been buried under the immense amount of work that went into this site. It’s now complete and I almost feel as if I given birth. I’ve put up 30 wedding to share. I really did not want a “best of” portfolio site, but rather I wanted to share a lot of real weddings to show how beautiful and unique each wedding is to me. During my shooting season I will be updating my galleries with additional weddings. I would love to have some feedback from you all. I’m still in the process of doing some little modifications. Please, please, please…. tell me what you think. This is a big deal to me, as I’ve never changed my site before. A special thanks to all my wonderful and creative couples that have given me such beautiful and emotional weddings to photograph!

Bridal Fashion (Part 2)

What fun I had several weeks ago in New York photographing the latest in bridal headpieces and veils. One again I was very fortunate to photograph some of the newest creations of milliner, Holly Slayton of Artikal. Hollys headpieces can be purchased directly through her and they are also available through Kleinfelds in New York. The beautiful gowns were provided by Suky Occasions of Philadelphia. What fun we had with models Olivia and Olga! Hair and makeup for the shoot was provided by the always amazing Claudia Seyler. Claudia’s talent never ceases to amaze me. She just creates look after look for me to photograph. Stay tuned for some bathing suit and lingerie shots from this session in a week or so.

Bridal Fashion – Part 1

Well, did I have fun a couple of weeks ago doing a bridal fashion shoot in NYC for Suky Occasions. Along with the ever so talented makeup and hair stylist Claudia Seyler we had a full day of styling the most beautiful bridal editorial images. I have so many amazing images from this shoot that I can’t wait to share with you. I’m only half way through working on the images. Here are a few with our beautiful model Olga in a stunning Monique Lhuillier Gown.
