It has been a very good year for me, both personally and professionally. I got married. I got to photograph the weddings of lots of amazing couples. I have met numerous people both in my industry and from all over the world who are making an amazing impact on my life. And there is more…

This seemed to be the year of the kilt wedding. Besides my own nuptials, I photographed two other weddings with kilted groomsmen. What stuck out the most for me at Maureen and Thom’s wedding at Douglaston Manor? Apart from the great Scotch whiskey that Thom had in abundance in his bridal suite, I would have…

It is the season of giving, so I am going to give some lucky person a framed, matted, and signed piece of original photographic artwork by yours truly. No purchase necessary, but you will have to keep reading to find out how to enter. I enjoy my Twitter chats with other folks in the wedding…

Thanks for the chance at winning.
Remember when it was warm outside? Yea, me too. So I decided to post some photos from this lovely warm weather engagement session down near the South Street Seaport and the Brooklyn Bridge. Enjoy!

[...] there when I learned they opened up event spaces. Two, the couple is great – you may remember Evelyn and Manny’s seaport engagement session. Three, there are some amazing details – from the flowers to the cake. And finally, possibly [...]
You may remember Jessica and James from the “King Kong” engagement session, or maybe you saw some of their wedding photos when they were featured over on Glamour Magazine’s wedding blog. The wedding took place at the Overlook Lodge on Bear Mountain, near West Point (where James had just recently graduated). After over three years…

After a couple books their wedding photographer, there tends to be a bit of confusion as to what to do next. Depending on how far in advance you sign your contract, there might be a lot of downtime, but that does not mean that there is not some planning to do. Remember, planning ahead means…

Please let me know if there are any other wedding/photography/vendor related issues you would like me to tackle in the future!
Oh, the blustery winds of winter are whipping through New York City. Some times I long for the warm days of Summer. This shoot with Natalie and Akos was on one of the WARMEST days of Summer! We started early in the morning and we were still nearly melting by the end of it. That…

So, today is the day for Wedding Album Giveaway! I’m excited. It is the season of giving! “How do you do the drawings?” you ask. Well, I use Random.org – I put all of the entries into a list. Then I create a random sequence of numbers and apply it to that list (in effect,…

What do you get when you have a wedding between two English Literature doctorates? Well, first of all, you get some really obscure readings on the subject of love at the ceremony. You also get parasols, fans, lots of dancing, fedoras, and no bouquets for starters. That’s right, I said no bouquets! As Kelly said,…

So, it is Thanksgiving and I am thinking about what I am thankful for – and it is not just that my wife is making a delicious meal and that I get to watch the Lions on television…I am extremely thankful for my wife, my family, my friends and so much more. I had the…

It is a rainy day in New York today so I thought I would share some rainy day photos. Sometimes, you just can’t get the weather to cooperate. Kelly and Eric had rescheduled their engagement session a couple of times because of the weather but finally we decided to go to the Brooklyn Botanical Garden…

I love working at The Foundry in Long Island City. Why? Well, it is not only because it is only a 5 minute cab ride from where I live but it is also a gorgeous location. I had to laugh to myself when someone wondered why there were bears on top of the wedding cake….

I love that Bride in darkness! Brilliant shot!
Thanks! I personally thought the negative space really makes the details of her dress pop out!
While working with Utterly Engaged and Bella Bridesmaid on covering Bridal Market 2011, they expressed an interest in having some ‘behind the scenes’ photos using my cell phone. I love my iPhone. It is my ‘walking around’ camera. It is kind of ridiculous when I think about it. My phone now has twice the resolution…

This is definitely pretty awesome, you got some great shots. I was impressed when I realized I can use my iPhone shots for scrapbooking, you took it 20x further, awesome.
I thought long and hard about how I should pick photos from Bridal Market to post on the blog – there were so many! I decided that I would just start with a selection of my favorites. Personally, I always love seeing what happens behind the scenes when things are getting set up… I had…

Last month, I had the privilege to attend New York Bridal Market 2011 for Utterly Engaged (the first online bridal and wedding magazine) for their 17th issue. I got to go around and photograph tons of dresses while accompanying the ladies of Bella Bridesmaid. Now that the article has been posted (and I highly recommend…
