Grace. Elegance. Fun. And an awesome hat. There’s not really much more that you need for a gorgeous wedding, particularly at a venue like the Pleasantdale Chateau. Meredith and Joe did everything they could to make sure their guests had a great time, from our photo booth to a cigar stand, fantastic band, ice cream…

Joanna and Angel came into my studio all smiles and holding hands, warm and open. I asked them to tell me a little bit about themselves. “Well,” Angel said, “I’m a police officer…” “Ahh …” I said, “So this is going to be a really good party.” I was right. Here’s all you need to…

You may remember Marsida and Genc’s fantastic Albanian wedding — well, I didn’t have to wait very long after the wedding to see them again, since I photographed their good friends’ Ida and Erjon’s wedding soon after! Another epic adventure that had us shooting all over the city, battling traffic and hot weather to show…

This year, I’ve smacked straight into the central contradiction of professional photography workshops: If your business is doing really well, you probably don’t have time to do lots of workshops about how other people’s businesses can do really well. I felt like it would be just wrong to not do a single NYC workshop the…
Specs and Pricing Info So much new camera gear comes out all the time that my first thought at any new release is “Could this possibly be useful to me?” If not, I tend to not pay it much attention — such as the endless string of seemingly cloned compact cameras. Since all of my…

I don’t generally have the time to blog engagement shoots unless it’s the dead of winter, but Elizabeth’s expressions kept cracking me up so much I had to. Plus any couple that brings a game of Guess Who to a shoot because the game helped them form a relationship is a win. BACK TO TOP…
