This one is all about the expressions to me.

Photo of the Day: A Very Apple Preparation
The bride, reflected in an iPhone, checks her iPhone. Hey, Steve Jobs, where’s my royalty check?
Photo of the Day: Party with the Ram
As I’ve said before, with flash composites (like most wedding photography), it’s not what you can do, it’s what you can do quickly. This was four shots, composited together for optimum lighting, and the whole thing was done quickly enough that you could stand on snow with open-toed shoes.
Maybe I’ll do a speed challenge at...
Photo of the Day: Reflections on a Ceremony
This week, while I am in California to visit family, teach a bit, shoot some portraits and document an awesome Malibu wedding, I’ll be using the Photos of the Day to tease the next wedding I’m processing, the union of Viviana and Henry.
Keep in mind that I say the following as a go-to photographer for...
(Story) of the Day: Moments, My Dad, and Me
An interesting thing happened the other day. I was on a forum where wedding photographers were talking about their favorite images from their own weddings. The vast majority of these were cute, quirky moments that captured the personality of beloved friends and families, not the amazing portraiture that we photographers tend to focus so much...
Photo of the Day: “You SAID ‘Swing Your Partner…’”
One of the questions I got on formspring was “How do you get people to do such crazy things at your weddings?”
I don’t.
I don’t think my clients are much crazier than average (well, some of them are, and they know it). For example, this shot was taken at a wedding that had very little dancing...
Photo of the Day: Moment of Seclusion
A quick portrait before the ceremony of Emily and Myles, in the beautiful St James the Less Church in Scarsdale.
Photo of the Day: Hold Tight
A tender hold during Emily and Myles’s first dance. Myles has these incredible hands. Thank you for responding to my telepathy and putting them in the perfect position.
Photo of the Day: Billionaires at Play
Richard Branson gives rock star face with his son Sam helpfully sticking his fingers and his mouth and nose at the launch of Virgin Galactic in 2006.
Betcha didn’t think you’d see a billionaire with someone else’s finger in his nose this morning, did you? Gotta keep on your toes around here.
I shot this for Wired...
Photo of the Day: Bridesmaid-and-a-Half
I could have made an entire album just from this adorable fireball of a flower girl.
Photos of the Day: A Proposal in the Park
I hope you guys all had a great Valentine’s Day weekend. Maybe some of you got engaged (hint, hint). I know one of my readers did, at least, because I was there.
Specifically, I was there in full ninja-mode, waiting on Central Park’s Bow Bridge, pretending to be one of the countless enthusiast photographers wandering around,...
Photo of the Day: OUCH?
I used to be able to do this; no joke. And my adductor is healing nicely, so I should be able to do it again soon.
Always stretch before you boogie.
Photo of the Day: Serenity in a Skyline
Sometimes you just can’t ask for the light to hit someone any better than it is.
Photo of the Day: Parting Shot
The bride, groom, best man, and maid-of-honor walk away from the reception after a long, long day.
Photo of the Day: Bridal Plumage
Getting ready to strut her stuff. If you get past the gender-reversal, I like the idea of bride-as-peacock. All eyes are on them, and they’re fabulous.
