I’m not sure the ring-bearer knew what hit him.

Kindiya and Thomas later told me that they had no idea why I was standing 10 feet away and shooting at a moped while they kissed. Surprise!
Watch the full slideshow here (or click “continue reading” below) 2009 was without a doubt the craziest year of my life, and I was so glad that I could end the wedding season with a couple as nice and fun and Dora and Josh. The mixture of Eastern and Western heritage started early, with the...
A nice moment of a wonderful Australian couple who came to New York to elope. Hey — the Australian flag is Red, White, and Blue, too! The fill light is from a Lowel ID video light.
A couple weeks ago, I got hooked up in the “Ask me a question” Formspring meme that was going around, and you can see all my answers (and ask me more) here. While I didn’t get as obsessed with it as some photographers … *cough* Jonas Peterson *cough* … it was a lot of fun...
Note to DJs: Please stop using red and geen laser dots. Chicken pox are generally not a good look. In this case, though, I just went with it, shot at f/1.4 with the ambient light, and let the laser lights fill in the scene … including the groom’s mouth. From Phil and Stephanie’s great wedding.
I still have to do the final tally, but thanks to the attention of so many I will be donation hundreds of dollars to Water Missions International, a charity with good presence in Haiti that focuses on the crucial issues of clean water and sanitation. If you’re interested in taking more action, Charity Navigator lists...
I’m a pretty bad marketer. I know it. That’s why it took me years of sitting around, seeing other people successfully brand themselves as “green” wedding photographers without thinking about it until, about five minutes ago, I realized I’m pretty much the greenest wedding photographer I know. How many other wedding photographers choose not to...
I said you’d see more of these guys. The first couple who actually walked the length of the Brooklyn Bridge with me for a shoot, they deserved a bit of rest at the end.
Remember Timoria and Bob? What a great couple, and a fantastic wedding. I hate back-tracking. If I miss an exit, I’ll probably look for the best route forward, 10 miles out of the way, instead of just turning back. And so it is with equipment. I just don’t like the idea of replacing a broken...
Generally, this time of year is devoted to putting together sample albums from the previous year. I may delay that a bit, because I’m mostly working on making sure my February 6 workshop is as great as possible, but I couldn’t resist putting together a sample album for Kindiya and Thomas. You may actually see...
At least they did in this case. Such an amazingly fun engagement shoot, more to come!
Watch the full slideshow here (or click “continue reading” below) I knew I was going to like Jenny and Chris right from the start of the engagement session. We were shooting in the Bronx Botanical Gardens — a very pretty place, but with a pretty serious limitation that your movement is severely restricted to the...
I freely admit that I am not, generally speaking, a subtle photographer. You don’t really have to spend much time looking at most of my photos and pondering “But is it … art?” I like big and brash and fun and crazy and romantic and daring and colorful and … you get the picture. So...
