If you want seriously useful and helpful advice in the meantime, check out The Big White Book of Weddings: A How-to Guide for the Savvy, Stylish Bride. In honor of the opening of the MFW season and in celebration of the new year, we thought it would be fun to give away one of these books. As it happens, the copy we have for one lucky winner is extra special as David even signed it. Very cool indeed!

So how can you win aforementioned signed copy of Mr. Tutera’s book? We have set up a special area on our facebook fanpage devoted to the contest. All you have to do is:

1- Become a fan of Allegro Photography on Facebook.

2- Leave a comment in the David Tutera MFW Celebration Gallery telling us which wedding in this gallery is your favorite.

Best of luck! and Happy New Year!

We started off with the formal lifestyle portraits.

We finished up the session with an editorial photo. While Noodle loves his baby girl, he also sees new opportunities for mischief.

Want more from Ivan and Jess? No problem. We have enjoyed being a part of their lives since their engagement through their wedding. We’re now thrilled to document their first born child.

They were both really excited about the argyle socks for the boys. Note the purple diamond in the mix, one of their colors.

Check out Lisa’s dress- sparkly gorgeousness. Lisa fell in love with the dress for its own merits, but also enjoyed the fact that it was designed by the Project Runway winner Kenneth Pool because she loves the show.

Lisa and Scott poured their heart and souls into the paper products. They did a great job creating a consistant feel using their colors of aubergine, eggplant and fuchsia.

The program…

The reception table seating cards…

The labels for the candy take-away boxes…

The labels for the gift bags for guests staying at the hotel…

Her invitation suite was purchased through Cartier. Love the simple elegance of it.

Lisa and Scott had seen our engagement sign-in album when we first met them at the bridal show. They later selected to have us create their guest book from their New York City engagement session. The images were great; I am glad they chose to use them in this way.

One of the most exciting details of the wedding was all of the music. Jazz musicians of CZONE performed during the cocktail hour and during the reception.

And the lion dancers of Gund Kwok kicked off the reception with pomp and circumstance.

If you would like to see more details from Lisa and Scott’s wedding at the Boston Hyatt, check out their flowers and food.

And still want more? Check out their engagement session, sneak peak, the scoop, and their slideshow.

Wasn’t he the cutest?
