I met Katherine and Brad at the County Clerks office in NYC in the morning to start our adventure through the city. It was Katherine's birthday and she had taken the day off to take photos and celebrate. We took the train and hit all their special relationship spots. After, we circled through the east and west village, wondered into the lower east side and back around, then hoped the train and headed to Brooklyn for photos at their home. I'd say it was a great way to spend a birthday, laughing, talking, and making, what I think, are some pretty amazing memories in images.
Midcentury Bridal | Yellow House Collective
A while back I had the incredible pleasure of collaborating with some awesome people to create an amazing Bridal Editorial centered around Midcentury Modern style. Yellow House Collective in Brooklyn, NY opened up their doors to me and my crew and the looks are straight out of Mad Men with a modern twist.

N + P's Traditional Vietnamese Tea Ceremony | May 1, 2015
There truly was not a moment that wasn't filled with smiles, hugs and laughter during this traditional Vietnamese Tea Ceremony that I photographed at The Garden City Hotel in Garden City, NY on May 1, 2015. The room was filled with vibrant colors, family (some of whom had flown in from Vietnam), friends, and ritual.
Normi + Michael's Brooklyn Wedding | December 27, 2013
A quick flashback to a very cold, but even more happy December 27, 2013. Normi and Michael got married at the courthouse in Brooklyn, NY. The couple and family hung out, talked and laughed while waiting to see the officiant. Once in it felt like a huge ceremony with everyone clapping and continuing to laugh and have so much fun. We then adventured to Brooklyn Bridge park for a windy and chilly photo session. Despite the cold, you couldn't have asked for a better day.
Sharon + Alex Wedding | October 21, 2012
Another one from the Archives! This was such an amazingly fun wedding. Jewish weddings are always such a party. They are full of family and tradition, both of which shone threw in Sharon and Alex's wedding at the Stone House at Sterling Ridge in Warren, New Jersey. I can't believe this was over 2 years ago.
Rebecca + Sean | December 12, 2012
Decided to start delving into the archives. Two years ago I drove up to CT to photograph a beautiful winter wedding, although you'd never be able to tell. They got married at The Connecticut River Valley Inn. Rebecca and Sean are the epitome of "meant to be." And just recently they welcomed a new baby and brother to Dustin, to the family.
Jackie + Andrew Engagement | Brooklyn, NY
Jackie and Andrew took a stroll around their neighborhood in Brooklyn on an early fall day in October. They even found a new coffee shop. We then went back to their apartment where I got to see their amazing view and me the worlds most insane and awesome pug.
Michael + Heidi Wedding | January 17, 2015
Mike and Heidi got married in the best place possible during the winter, Southern California. So, on January 15th I flew to Los Angeles and drove to Orange County where, on January 17th I photographed this beautiful Laguna Beach wedding. It was 80 degrees and sunny with no clouds to be seen. It was about as perfect as a day could get.
Michael + Heidi Engagement | Washington DC
My longtime friends Mike and Heidi got engaged and asked me to take their engagement photos. We chose a freezing day and I came down from Brooklyn, NY to Washington DC to meet up with them and we wondered around Georgetown. Even their son, Sulley, got in on it.
Julianna + Brian | December 13, 2014
I had the pleasure of photographing Julianna and Brian's Engagement session months prior to their wedding. They are the funniest, easiest people to be around. Their love is evident in the joy and laughter they bring to themselves and everyone else around them. Their wedding was a winter wedding on December 13, 2014 in Hamden, CT at the Cascade. Although it was freezing outside everyone was warm and having a blast inside!
Stephanie + Allen | November 7, 2014
Stephanie and Allen's fall wedding was wet, but nothing could dampen the fun and joy that was felt by everyone involved. The St. Mary's Parish ceremony in Ridgefield, Ct. was warm and full of love. The ceremony was followed by a party at The Candlewood Lake inn in Brookfield, Ct. Set against the lake, you couldn't ask for a better view at setting.
Jesse + Justin Wedding | August 30, 2014
Jesse and Justin got married in Portsmouth, Va this past summer. Justin's mom spent months scouring estate sales, garage sales, and antique stores finding the perfect accents for their cozy, loving backyard wedding.
Judy and Bob's Maryland Wedding | June 23, 2013
I had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Bob and Judy at the beautiful Polynesian Bridal Lawn at Herrington on the Bay in Rose Haven, MD. Before we went over they had the traditional Chinese tea ceremony at a house on the water. It was a day full of fun, friends and bright colors. The weather was perfect and everyone had a great time.
