alanc230: Was just browsing through and found this. Beautiful pictures. And, a long-sleeved gown wouldn't be right for every bride, but this lady looks wonderful. It's a lovely change from the endless parade of strapless dresses.

1.24.11, 4:12PM Boruch Noam DuBrow: Hi Jessica. It's me. BND. Eliana's younger brother. The quite one. I just have to say that as usual these photos are amazing. Not only are you a pro at photography but you are also a pro when it comes to the "Jewish Lingo". I can't wait til' it's my turn, but no worries, it's not for a couple more years. Until next time. keep up the good work.
