Thursday, February 4, 2010Flushmount Album Design for a recent NJ Wedding - Photography by Abella Studios![]() This Flushmount Bridal Album was created by Abella Studios' designer for Jessica & Paul, whose Wedding Ceremony was held at Saint Theresa of Avila, Summit, NJ and the Reception at the Florentine Gardens, River Vale, NJ. ![]() Here is what Jess & Paul had to say about Abella Studios... Dear Alex, Mark, Ryan & Abella staff, I hope that you are well & are having a great start to the New Year! I wanted to thank you for the great job you did on our photography & videography for our wedding last year (Memorial Day ’09)! Carlos & Mark – Thank you so much for the amazing job on our montage/recap video! Including the wrap-up video at the end of the reception really helped to tie everything together. Not only was it great that people who missed our ceremony were able to see a few moments from our ceremony/vows, but it also helped people who were there to better hear some of the vows that we wrote for each other. Both women & men teared up during the final wrap-up & we received so many compliments on the excellent work that you did. The quality of the work you did is reflected in the fact that one of our close friends has recently booked your team for her upcoming 2010 wedding (Tara & Jose). Alex – Thank you so much for the amazing job you did on our pictures from the wedding! The timing of your shots was impeccable – particularly the one of our groomsman George doing a straddle jump over Paul while he was doing a one-armed push-up - & the pictures you took during one of our attendants break-dancing sessions. We are so grateful to you for capturing all of the important & exciting moments so that we can remember the great times we had on our wedding day. Ryan – Thank you so much for your guidance & advice throughout the process & for the amazing job you did on our engagement pictures in ’08 at the Castle at Skylands Manor. Angelica – Thank you so much for the editing job/artistic work you did in working with us to create our wedding album. We are so excited to pick up the album in February! We have sent out link to the videos & the pictures to all of our wedding guests & to our vendors, so I hope that you receive even more referrals & contacts from our event. Thanks again for all that you did for us – we are excited to now begin working on the full video & selecting our photo enlargements! Sincerely, Jess & Paul Camarda

Wednesday, January 13, 2010Jamaica Destination Wedding Images by Abella Studios We've recently had the pleasure of covering a Destination Wedding on the island of Jamaica. We provided both photography & videography services for this couple and just received some feedback...
"...Abella Studios was there with us to capture all our special moments. We are so glad we decided to go with Abella Studios to do our videography and photography. Everything from the love story, to the highlights and wedding video, to trashing of the dress came out absolutely amazing. Mark, our videographer, was very creative and at the same time open to all our ideas. Jesse, the photographer, took gorgeous pictures and was very friendly and personable. Overall, I would highly recommend Abella Studios for all occasions. Sasha Zolotnisky" Here are some of the over 1700 images which were captured at this amazing location...Be sure to click on the icon in the bottom left hand corner to view full screen...Enjoy... Jamaica Wedding "Trash The Dress" Highlights Video We had an absolute ball with Sasha and Oleg, whose Wedding took place in Jamaica. We had planned on doing a "Trash The Dress" shoot with them at sunset but unfortunately the sun would be going down on the other side of the island so we decided to do the shoot at sunrise instead. So at 6AM we went out onto the gorgeous Jamaican beach and shot this video...Enjoy...

Thursday, September 3, 2009Mallard Island Yacht Club Wedding Photographed by Abella Studios This past Saturday we had the pleasure of photographing an absolutely magical Wedding for Vicky & Matt. The location - Mallard Island Yacht Club in Mallard Island, NJ.![]() As visual artists we are always searching for beautiful settings for the shoot and sometimes find it a bit difficult at some venues. At Mallard Island, the difficulty was actually in deciding where to shoot, as it presented so many unique settings - one being nicer than the other. This place was just AMAZING!!!
The Wedding Penthouse Suite was to die for. Such beauty and elegance are not easy to find in a venue. As a matter of fact, the photographer was completely blown away by the setting.
Bridal party, family and Bride & Groom formals were taken on the green just outside the Boathouse Chapel. The day started out rainy and gray, but just as the photographer arrived at Mallard Island the sun came out and allowed him to capture images with perfect blue sky as the backdrop. Vicky & Matt were so relieved to see such gorgeous weather. The Reception was held in the grand center of the Every detail of this room is modeled after the most grandiose ballrooms of the last century. This classic ballroom leads guests through stunning French doors onto the scenic Atrium. There, guests danced the night away under a sparkling array of romantic lighting and continued to enjoy the magnificent coastal vistas of Barnegat Bay. Access to a 2nd floor balcony lends itself to capturing a birds-eye-view shot like the one above... All we can say is "WOW!" and we cannot wait to have the opportunity to capture another couple's Big Day at Mallard Island Yacht Club...

An "Engagement Shoot" is great, but why not breathe a little more life into it.! Here at Abella Studios, we have shot hundreds of engagement sessions and our clients love the imagery, but now, as we head into the High Definition Video age, more and more of our couples are requesting their Engagement Session to be captured on video as well. The options are endless. We can capture those special moments the couple shares during a photo session at a variety of wonderful places like parks, gardens, castles and beaches throughout Central and Northern New Jersey. We can also add a "Love Story" style interview during which the couple shares their fondest memories like their first impressions, that first kiss, the first "I Love You" and all of the details of their actual engagement. The final polished video can then be shown at the Reception for all the guests to enjoy...
The clip below was shot for a Sasha and Oleg, whose Wedding took place at the gorgeous Riu Hotel in Jamaica (Wedding Highlights & Trash The Dress Session Videos Coming Soon!). This video was shown at the Reception. The reactions were spectacular! We loved seeing everyone enjoy our work... Please be sure to let us know, should you be interested in adding an Engagement Shoot, Love Story Outing and/or Interview to your Wedding Day...

Monday, June 1, 2009Abella Studios' Photography Featured in Real Weddings Article from Manhattan Bride Magazine - Spring 2009 We were delighted to provide the images captured at Jeremy's and Sandi's Big Day for this article. Their reception was held at The Park Savoy, Florham Park, NJ...It is one of our favorite spots to shoot...Absolutely beautiful grounds and facility...
________________________________________________________ Jeremy and I met in Maryland in early 2006, where we both worked in television advertising sales. Shortly after meeting, we began dating. Just before our two year anniversary, I test drove a new car and went home to pick up Jeremy so he could go back to the dealership with me. When I showed up, he was at the house playing with our dog in the family room. He was acting strangely and kept asking me to hold the dog, and then finally asked me to look at our dog’s collar. Attached to it was a blue pouch containing my ring. I immediately started crying and accepted his proposal.
We wanted to get married in the beginning of October, our favorite time of the year. There was no doubt that we found the perfect place after we visited The Park Savoy. We loved that the mansion is incredibly charming, with cozy fireplaces, a baby grand piano in the cocktail area, and an incredible back deck that overlooks a waterfall, a reflecting pool, and an unbelievably manicured multi-level garden. Their outdoor area was breathtaking for our ceremony. The Park Savoy also has an expansive bridal suite with a concave fireplace, a lovely antique armoire, and a chaise lounge. Alan Weinstein, the owner, made our entire out-of-state planning process effortless and stress-free. The space also has a newly constructed annex connected to the dining area that would serve as our back-up in case the weather didn’t cooperate for the ceremony. On the day of our wedding, I was fortunate enough to have my two very good friends help with my hair and makeup, and they did a wonderful job. We could not have been more pleased by the menu we chose. At the cocktail hour, we enjoyed a variety of 15 passed hors d’oeuvres, including lobster bonbons and hickory-grilled pizza. We also had a meat carving station, a fresh mozzarella station, and an outdoor Mexican station with fajitas and frozen margaritas. Dinner was a combination of grilled chicken, sundried tomatoes, mushrooms, and artichokes wrapped in a crispy phyllo purse, and an arugula salad tossed with Julienne apples in an aged white wine vinaigrette, topped with caramelized walnuts and shaved Manchego cheese. The entrees were a choice of roasted salmon with sesame, soy, and ginger glaze; filet mignon with cabernet sauce; or medallions of chicken with eggplant, tomato, and mozzarella. The Park Savoy also accommodated our guests who kept Kosher. When our meal was over, the cocktail area transformed into a dessert wonderland, complete with a waffle and ice cream station, a gelato station, a chocolate dipping station, cookies, pastries, and cakes. As if that wasn’t enough, The Park Savoy also surprised everyone with a tray of Kahlua shots with warm cookies. Included in our wedding package were a full premium bar, a custom-designed four-tiered wedding cake, and an ice sculpture with our initials. Beyond the ambience and the outstanding food, The Park Savoy also has the most friendly and unforgettable staff. I had two wonderful bridal attendants helping me. They were there all day to make sure we had something to eat and drink. To me, one of the most important people at our wedding was my father. A year before our wedding, my mother passed away. My parents were married for 46 years and I knew this day would be difficult for him. The staff at The Park Savoy treated him like a king, and for that I will be forever grateful. Now that we are married, we both agree that our wedding was perfect.

Shane Fornino Portrait SessionYes folks, believe it or not, this little man is real. Standing 1 ft. tall and weighing in at an astounding 3lbs 4 oz. this maltese, yorkie, poodle mix growls and barks like a pit bull and will take your arm off if you bother his mistress. Shane came to Abella Studios to have his professional model portraits taken and was very happy with the outcome. He told our photographer that he had more poses planned but was short on time, as he had a date with a shih tzu he was running late to.
