Bars of a different type

My name is Isis and I am addicted to coffee based drinks. Addicted to where I realize I am now up to over $8 a day in Starbuck's related expenses and the staff at both stores know my name; sad, I know.

I'm so delighted to see that Cappucino is making its way into the world of events in a major way. We're not talking 8 ft long table with a few liquer flavor options, no, no, no. Think full service catering for your event, specializing in all of your Espresso and Cappucino needs!

In the authentic Italian tradition, full service espresso bars offering premium espresso, cappuccino, and latte via European-style barista service, are sure to be the next craze locally. Covim USA is one local company rising to the challenge!



Serving the tri-state area,Covim has found a niche in bringing direct to you, delicious coffee and espresso, elegant enough for your events via MS Espresso Catering. The staff is teriffic and the drinks...well they're delicous! Be sure to consider adding a little something warm to your event this year.

The saying a picture is worth a thousand words, never rang more true.









Although this blog is not intended as a political forum, it is a basis to share my perspective on the world and all that is occuring. The photographer for these pictures has done an outstanding job as a photojournalist, leaving the viewer the ability to interpret emotion. That's the essence of photography. Visual Communication.

This is an important political year. Regardless of your party choice, please do be sure to go to the polls on November 4th and vote. Silence does not innact change.

Oronde married Wayne-Part I

I'm blessed in that very few of my client relationships are just "business". Quite often, planning over an extended period of time fosters long lasting relationships...Oronde was no exception.

From the minute we met for our initial meeting (which included her, best friend Kim, daughter Maciah and her fabulous mom) I knew that this would be the beginning of something very special. When I met her fiance Wayne, who had me in stitches with his sense of humor and quick tongue, I knew I was in trouble.

Oronde & Wayne exchanged vows in front of 225 of their closes family and friends under a Chuppah like structure at the Grand Versailles Ballroom in Maple Shade, NJ. Their ceremony was complete with a candlelit remembrance table, poetry reading, unity candle, jumping of the broom, laughter and plenty of tears. The show stopper of the ceremony however, when little Ms. Maciah entered in her pink "Cadillac" and waved to the crowd.

Guests then entered the gorgeous black and white themed reception where they partied to the sounds of DJ D-Roc and danced to their hearts delight. The night ended with treats from a vibrant candy buffet that surely brought out the "kid" in everyone! The AKA Bride and her Omega Psi Phi husband were destined to start a wonderful new chapter of their lives.

I LOVE the lighting in this photo. My favorite part is the little broom bearer in the background. How adorable is he?





The Groom's cake which was a surprise from Oronde to Wayne. The surprise was on us all actually. The Fraternity brothers thought the cake was too nice to cut! Instead, they took pictures in front of it the entire night.

Project Bridal

In honor of tonight's finale, I thought I'd share a little Project Runway inspiration.

First, let me say, I think these gowns are just FABULOUS!!!! I'm not sure I can even pick a favorite. Between Kenley's ingenious feather creation, Korto's sexy off the shoulder and Leanne's sexy creation...I love them all.





To be a bride in today's world, you certainly have a number of options. Any favorites?
