Michelle and Matthew are married!

Here's a few from Michelle & Matthew's wedding up in MA. Good Times!

Never Forget 09/11/01

2010-09-11T08:46:00.023-05:00

I'm in Boston for a wedding taking some time to reflect and pray.

I will never forget 09.11.01.

I remember the exact moment I had learned about what was happening. I turned on the news and saw that image forever etched in my mind of the hole in the north tower. I was curious to know what happened but assumed it was something accidental caused by a small personal aircraft. The hole didn't seem that big at first. The camera was zoomed in tight. I had no idea what was happening or about to happen.

Where were you?

God Bless The Victims, families, loved ones and friends directly impacted by the tragedy of 09/11/01. God Bless America.

______________________________________

On September 11, 2002 my sister Kim gave birth to my wonderful niece Courtney. I love you Kim and Courtney. Thank you for the smiles on this day associated with so much sadness.

Dear Courtney,

Happy 8th Birthday Courtney! I know it's crazy sharing your day with a day that hurts so bad for so many people but we could not be more blessed to have you in our world. You are full of smiles and laughter and life. I love you lots! I'm so glad I got to celebrate your birthday a few weeks early while I was in Florida last month. Are you still having so much fun riding your big girl bike? I miss you and can't wait to see you again as soon as possible!! Have some more cake for me!

Love Uncle Mike

Have a safe and fun independence day.

I am not Michael Juliano:

2010-07-01T08:53:00.000-05:00

I have been contacted several times by people from model mayhem claiming they were contacted by "Michael Juliano" involving transfer of funds or something. Some people even fell for it. This is not me. I don't spell my name that way and do not own a hotmail account. I've ignored several of these prior but here is the last email I received from someone supposedly involved in a scam:

"Hello Michael.

I’m writing to ask You whether You have been in touch with a XXXXXXXXX in Norway to ask her to be photographed.

She is a good friend of me, and she has been contacted by someone using Your name and has been in that contest been reported for fraud by a German bank.

Basicaly this happened:

She was contacted and told that she was wanted for a photoshoot, by Michael Juliano.

This Michael Juliano send her a check of 3000€ and told to check it in and send over some of it to another account.

She did all of this, then after a while she was contacted by the bank and told that the check was fauny.

The sender “Michael Juliano” used a hotmail account, so I would like to know whether you have a hotmail account?

If this is a scam that has nothing to do with you, I would recommend You to put up a “Scam Warning” on you website.

Hope to hear from You soon.

Best regards

I am an established business in the USA and would not be involved in a scam in the USA, Europe or anywhere else. I spell my name "Juiliano". I often play with the rules of english grammar but I'd like to think my wording makes more sense than this. If you receive contact I recommend you be skeptical. Think twice before you take part in someone wanting you to transfer funds for or to them that you don't know. (duh) These scams have been going on forever in many shapes and forms. Be aware of the many scams out there. Talk to other people that have been fooled. Don't be that desperate and fall for one of these scams. Contact the website and report what you received. I was able to find several examples of this scam just doing a simple google search.

I'm sorry this happened to you but I am not the culprit.

Review Michael Juiliano Photography at WeddingWire

I appreciate your feedback. www.weddingwire.com is becoming increasingly popular. It's kind of like trip advisor for wedding vendors!

Thanks...love you mean it!

if we can't meet:

2010-03-10T10:14:00.002-06:00

Wendy and I never had a chance to meet before their wedding. All of our interactions were handled on the phone or through the internet. That didn't stop us. We had an amazing day together and Wendy & Stephen's images have been featured in several magazines. Wendy was kind enough to send over these words of encouragement for future client-friends that may be a bit weary about not meeting in person. Thanks Wendy you are a sweet heart!

"I thought planning my wedding from long distance might be stressful, but deciding on Michael as our photographer was one of the easiest and best decisions we made. We came across his website and immediately fell in love with his style. We got to know him over the phone and through email, so that by the time the wedding rolled around, it was like working with an old friend.
Michael was incredibly fun to work with and gave us the most beautiful images to remember our wedding by. Several magazines have featured his pictures of our wedding. He captured the joy and love of the day perfectly."

Just in time for the cold: I'm Hot in Little Rock!

Meet Mia:

2009-10-20T22:13:00.000-05:00

UPDATE: MIA HAS BEEN ADOPTED!!! YEAH!!!!

This is Mia. Short for"Mama Mia" She's a redbone coonhound with a heart of gold. She's friendly, playful and sooooo affectionate. She's up for adoption through Out of The Woods. I got to spend some time with Mia during a doggie lifestyle session so we could get some shots of her showing off her wonderful personality. Boy did she show off! She was so excited to show me everything she can do and all of her favorite toys that she wore herself out. By the end of our shoot she was putting her head in my lap looking for lovin! Dogs like Mia make it hard to walk away without having to explain to our two dogs that they have a new member of the family. I'm working with Out of the Woods each month photographing their pet of the month with hopes of helping these great fuzzy friends find some loving homes. It's going to be hard to not end up with 12 new friends of my own at the end of the year!

Here's some information from Mia's adoption page:

"Mia was found in the woods with 9 puppies that were only a day old Memorial Day weekend. She was covered in mange and was malnourished. She was very protective but eventually allowed her rescuers to take her and her pups. She was taken in and was a wonderful mother to her pups. Her puppies have all been adopted and now Mia deserves a new home to be loved and spoiled. Mia is not more than 1 ½ years old most likely since she has grown a bit since being rescued. She looks like a redbone hound with a beautiful shiny silky coat and weighs about 48 lbs. She gets along great with other dogs and loves to play with them. She is housetrained and is very calm and well mannered and learns quickly. She would make a great companion pet for anyone old or young."

Out of the Woods

2009-07-15T09:15:00.000-05:00

I'm happy to be working with the wonderful organization Out of the Woods . I'll be photographing some of the precious critters they're trying to find homes for. I got the chance to meet four of them the other day. I even got to name this little guy. Please say hello to Benjamin or "Benny" for short.

~From their website

Out Of The Woods was established in early 2007 by experienced rescuer Kathy Woods along with Shawn Schouweiler and fellow friends in rescue who wanted to fill a need for a different kind of rescue; a need in where they believe that all domesticated animals regardless of their size, breed, color or situation deserve to have a loving home.

We rescue our pets primarily from the rural areas of Arkansas, some are abandoned and/or abused. We rescue from animal "hoarders" or collectors who take in more than they can possibly care for, sometimes in the hundreds.

We promote efforts to spay and neuter all pets; one of the ways we do this is by assisting in finding low cost sterilization to families in rural areas with limited incomes. We must stop the needless breeding that occurs when families cannot afford to properly care for their pets.

We also focus on helping independent rescuers who take in and then care for "stray" pets until an adoptive home is found.

OOTW is a private, not-for-profit, 501(c) (3) organization.

One of my secret weapons:

2009-07-06T08:42:00.000-05:00

I am always asked "What have you seen?" , "How would you do this?" or if I have any recomendations from many brides. After I first and foremost recommend they hire a planner, I usually can provide some pretty good insight to the day.

And now..... from my top secret, under lock and key, if i tell you I might need to kill you bookmarks comes my number one secret weapon.

It's no secret StyleMePretty.com hands down, take the cake for the most informative and inspiring wedding site I have ever read. If you are planning a wedding, love weddings, work with wedding, would like to have a wedding someday or used the word wedding five times in once sentence like I did, head over there stat!

Happy July Fourth!

Tony & Laine : Best Time Ever!

2009-04-14T15:33:00.011-05:00

"To me, there are three things we all should do every day. We should do this every day of our lives. Number one is laugh. You should laugh every day. Number two is think. You should spend some time in thought. And number three is, you should have your emotions moved to tears, could be happiness or joy. But think about it. If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that's a full day. That's a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you're going to have something special."

~Jim Valvano

3 is a magical number. So magical in fact it's Tony and Laine's lucky number. The amount of times three comes into the lives of these two is unbelievable. In fact take a look at their wedding date.

03.21.09

Yup, 03, 2+1=3 and 3 goes into 9 3 times. The wedding weekend lasted 3 days, the cake had 3 layers, three was individually their lucky numbers before they got together, their first date was on Laine's 33 birthday, Tony proposed on their 3rd anniversary and on and on and on. Perhaps Tony and Laine will talk about it more in the comments. Care to share guys?

Tony and Laine were married by the Mayor of Little Rock in the living room of her father's house in LIttle Rock, AR. The ceremony could not have been more personally intimate. It's hard to shoot when your fighting back tears. Darn you two! After they were made Mr & Mrs Poe we headed down town for some photo play time. I love Tony and Laine. I have never spent time with them that wasn't involved in laughter, their wedding day was no different. Sorry guys I laughed way more then 3 times. Maybe something like 3 times every 30 seconds?

A mega party/reception like only Tony and Laine can do was held at Historic Union Station in Little Rock. Next Level Events did a fabulous job. Tony and Laine shared a first dance to a rockin' rendition of "Three is a magical number." (as in Schoolhouse Rock, how perfect is that?)by their reception band The Libra's.

We danced, we sang, we ate, we drank, we were merry, we took pictures in the photo both and man did we laugh.

Thanks so much for allowing me the pleasure of photographing your most special of days. You seriously rock.
