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….
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…
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…
When Leah and David first met with me, we immediately bonded over our love of dogs. They had seen Randi and Karlo’s engagement session on my site and told me that it was very important that their dog, Scooby, be part of their engagement shoot. I was more than happy to oblige. As a matter…
You have to get up early if you want the Brooklyn Bridge all to yourself. Like be there at 7 am as the sun is rising sort of early. But it is worth it! Shooting the day after a major snowstorm on Halloween weekend does not hurt in the having the place to yourself department….
I have been trying to integrate more video clips into my slideshows here and there as I get more comfortable with it. There was a panel discussion at WPPI NYC this week entitled “Dive Into Fusion” – I don’t think this is what they had in mind…did I mention it was icy out this morning?…
So, in case I have not mentioned it, I have a lot of friends getting married next year…and they all come to me for advice since I am in the wedding business, and I am happy to give it! My number one tip for couples getting married is this – don’t wait to book your…
Jaime and Henrik originally contacted me about doing a ‘recipe for love’ engagement session with them, because they love cooking together. I was all for it.
I thought of a lot of cute and clever things to say as to why I have not been blogging many weddings lately. Basically, it comes down to being very busy and nothing I had to say was actually that cute or clever on second thought. So, instead of being clever, I bring you this…
A friend of mine recently emailed me with some questions about planning his wedding. He’s on a really low budget and he asked me, as a wedding professional and someone who recently got married, “What can I do to save money?” Well, the best advice I can offer after you find a venue that fits…
When New York City is the destination for your wedding, anything can happen – like ending up in a television commercial!
