"Work is Love Made Visible." --Kahlil Gibran
Leila and Sam’s wedding at the New Leaf Cafe in Fort Tryon Park was marked by incredible taste, simple but elegant, and a welcoming, low-key attitude that permeated the entire day. I don’t usually go nuts over details, as the true beating heart of weddings for me are people and the way they connect to…
Something that deeply informs the way I shoot weddings is to always think about the kinds of photos that really matter to me. I know what kinds of photos I love to take as a photographer, and what sorts of photos I like to look at when the frames are filled with strangers, but it…
… at least if you go off the beaten path. This couple had recently gotten married in Australia, so they wanted a more casual shoot on their honeymoon. Hard to believe this is the middle of Manhattan. 22 shots with the 85mm f/1.4G. BACK TO TOP | CONTACT ME Pin it
I have been a russophile ever since the days I stayed up late in my dorm room, listening to tapes and poring over books on my own to read Dostoevsky and Pushkin in their native tongue. It didn’t get quite that far, and sadly lack of use has left me able to say only “My…

As a wedding photographer and photojournalist based in Manhattan, I have specific, and sometimes esoteric needs. So it’s not often that I see a product from a manufacturer that makes me wonder if they were living inside my head, catering to my secret desires. The last time I remember that shock was 2007, when Nikon…
I don’t really have to tell you about Lauren and Chris. All I have to do is show you this: Hilarious, fun, low-key, more than a little iPhone-obsessed … it all suits them. But I can tell you that their wedding day at the Meadow Wood Manor was a joy to document, that these two…
I had a wonderful time at Allie and Vilas’ wedding, especially with the constant entertainment of Vilas’ adorable, energetic neice and nephews, so I was thrilled to get a call from his brother to do a family shoot. As I said in the preview, as someone who grew up in a forest essentially like Huck…
I’ll say one thing for the old Nikon 85mm f/1.4D over the new 85mm f/1.4G: It’s nice to have that aperture ring for freelensing. BACK TO TOP | CONTACT ME Pin it
I don’t often work in extreme wide-angles, but sometimes it’s a great change in perspective. And there are few wide-angle lenses as crazy as taking a fisheye lens, in this case the Nikon 16mm, and “defishing” it in software. In terms of this lens, I’ve found that Lightroom 3 actually does a better job of…
Watch the full slideshow in high-definition (or click “continue reading” below for a smaller size) Singapore. Crazy. I’ve talked before about what an honor it is when a couple flies me into Southern California to shoot their wedding, because there are so many great photographers who are closer. But Singapore? You know who’s closer than…
Watch the full slideshow in high-definition (or click “continue reading” below for a smaller size) In turns gorgeous and wild, classy and fun, Rachel and John had a fantastic wedding at the Garden City Hotel. The fashion was top-notch at this wedding, with a gorgeous wedding dress and bridesmaids dresses so nice that, when I…
Watch the full slideshow in high-definition (or click “continue reading” below for a smaller size) I work in so many wonderful venues all over the world that it’s hard to pick favorites. But when a couple tells me they’re having a wedding at Blue Hill Stone Barns, I get particularly excited. You see, I love…
It was a pretty nice day. Brenizer method, 19 shots with the 85mm f/1.4. BACK TO TOP | CONTACT ME Pin it
