Wedding at Cipriani

Posted by Olivier Lalin -
A few Pictures of Sandi and Rick’s who just got married at Cipriani, New York, on the 10th of March 2007. We’ve had snow those past couple of days and Hawai sounds so appealing right now !

















In terms of iconic Manhattan backdrops, this place is hard to beat. Cipriani took over the lease of the old 200 Fifth Club in April 2004. Much has remained the same, including the ornate 22-foot ceilings, the ballroom (accommodates 300 with dancing), and the Oak Room (400 for cocktails)-not to mention the Art Deco style.

Hands of Brides at their wedding

posted by Olivier Lalin -




The Hands Of Time

Author: Beckie Martell

The hands of time cannot erase
The thoughts of you and your embrace
The longing for a single kiss
Your touch, your voice, I always miss



The hands of time, like the rolling sea
Cannot wash away what you mean to me
My Heart, My Soul, I'll give to you
The greatest Love I ever knew

The hands of time, that past so fast
My Love for you will always last
To be together, is on my mind
This special love, is one of a kind


The hands of time, We cannot turn back
But Love and Devotion, you will never lack
I vow to you, You will always be
The only Man in my life for me

The hands of time, will stop one day
But there is one thing to you, I'll say
If I should go before you do
I'll be there waiting, for only you.

Advice for a Bride

Posted by Olivier Lalin -
As i said before, i feel very privileged to perform my "photographic Art" amongst so much Joy and Happiness. I love my craft that has allowed me to grow as a human being and constantly learn to become better at what i do and who i am. I photographed Michael and Trina's wedding in New York and consequently photographed Doug and Ali's wedding ( on the right ) a few years later in Washington, DC this time. When i decided to redesign my web site i contacted trina and Ali's to ask them if they would mind writing a few lines about me. I would like to share those line with everyone and once more thank Trina and Ali for having taken the time and to think back in retrospect a few years later about their wedding photographer!

"...Olivier embodies everything a discerning bride would want. He has a great instinct for capturing candid and tender moments, and he brings out the best in even the most camera-shy guests. Most importantly, Olivier delivers incredible results. He has a great talent for bringing the mood of the day to life again in pictures in a natural, unforced way and follows up with the exquisite printing and layout that make a wedding album not only a treasured keepsake, but a stunning photographic collection. I clearly could not have been happier to have Olivier part of my wedding!..." Trina

"...I cannot say how much we love our wedding photographs. Olivier's photos captured our wedding day both creatively and beautifully. He has a unique artistic style that is very special. Olivier was able to make everyone feel at ease and all of our guests loved him. The quality and artistry of his work is simply excellent and beautiful..." Ali

I am myself soon to get married to Yanique in Paris. We have known each others for the past two years and i have seen our love growing tremendously over time. I now feel blessed because i finally have found the woman of my dreams and i cannot wait to share those many years to come with my princess. Having said that, it is time that i send a little hello to Trina and Ali
and i would love them to may be come and share this wonderful day with me, my family and friends as i believe that photographing Trina's and Ali's wedding created very special bounds.

Trina was wearing a beautiful wedding dress designed by Jane Wilson-Marquis in New York city.

Wedding Photography - In the beginning

Posted by Olivier Lalin -

I have been photographing wedding for the past 18 years now. I fall into it almost by chance thanks to a good friend of mine photographer of course, who showed me some wonderful wedding images she had taken in brazil at the time. Her name is Catherine Alonso Krulik. Catherine has been photographing the most beautiful carnavals in brazil since and i have been photographing weddings on all 5 continents.

Now I think it is a good thing to ask your Photographer why and how did he get involved with wedding photography.
Here You can view some of Catherine Krulik's work
