I have adored Mike and Laura from the start. I could tell from the first time I spoke with them on the phone that amazing photography was a huge priority for them. They even traveled from Boston to New York City to have me shoot an engagement session for them! Their wedding was held at the picturesque Fontainebleau Inn in the Finger Lakes region of Upstate New York. It’s a venue I have many fond memories of because I have photographed several lovely couples there over the past eight years. The tone of Mike and Laura’s wedding was so relaxed and friendly. There was no drama: just an intimate gathering celebrating Laura and Mike’s love. They chose to do their portraits before the ceremony so they could enjoy their cocktail hour with friends and family. So they wouldn’t miss out on having the moment when the groom first sees the bride I asked Mike to stand out on the lawn with his eyes shut and wait for Laura to come out to him. You will see the fun results in the series of three images in this blogpost. Thank you so much Mike and Laura- have some wine for me in Napa! And I almost forgot! Check out the awesome mini grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup!

I designed a guestbook for Alex and Jill with the engagement photos I shot of them last month. I love it!

I left New York City this weekend to photograph Mike and Laura’s wedding in the Finger Lakes region in Upstate New York. After the wedding I headed to Rochester, where I attended college and lived for nearly ten years. While in Rochester I caught up with friends and was able to photograph Madeline and Samantha with their mom, Anne. Anne was my personal trainer in Rochester. She’s amazing! And look at her girls…just gorgeous.

What a weekend we all had in St. Maarten! Ahang and Peje’s wedding was emotional, colorful, and stunning to photograph. Everywhere I turned there were amazing picture possibilities all around me! The Westin’s catering manager, Marouschka, went above and beyond as did Ahang’s St. Maarten wedding coordinator Milagros de Windt of Sint Maarten Marry Me event planning. Ahang and Peje’s families couldn’t have been sweeter. I went a little crazy posting so many photos from the wedding- it was so hard to choose! Ahang and Peje: I hope you are enjoying St. Barts!

I love photographing little ones! Below is a selection of shots I’ve taken of children. Many are the children of past wedding clients.

Thursday April 29 I will be leaving New York City for Ahang and Peje’s wedding in St. Maarten! I can’t wait! I i will return to New York May 4.

Even though I live in Manhattan it’s surprising how few Manhattan weddings I actually shoot! It was a treat to be able to walk to Christine and Dave’s Park Avenue wedding last weekend. There were so many special touches throughout the wedding. Especially notable was the bagpiper leading the congregation to the reception site! We attracted quite a bit of attention walking down Park Avenue. I love New York weddings!
