Roxy & Gary wanted to keep their wedding ceremony small and super intimate. They only had their immediate families attend. It made for a day where I could really photograph the tiny intimate moments of the day and it made for wonderful photos!
Thank you, Roxy & Gary! I had a wonderful time photographing your wedding!
We are super stoked! Recently 1 of our photos from Alex & Jamel’s Engagement Shoot at Grand Central Station was featured in a Brides.com article. Check it out… 17 Genius Indoor Locations to Shoot Your Engagement Shoot
We are very lucky to have the clients that we have! We can look back at most of them and say “They have great chemistry” or “They’re a perfect match”. And we’re so happy that we can say that! And that tradition continues with Adriana & Michael! They are such a sweet and awesome couple!
Their wedding was such a great time! But September in New York is very much a hit and miss kind of month. It can either be super hot, super cold, or just perfect. You never really know what you’re going to get. For Adriana & Michael, they got a super hot Saturday. But no one complained, they took it all in stride. And that’s what I love about Adriana & Michael, they kinda just go with it.
I’m so happy for Adriana & Michael, they couldn’t be a more perfect couple!

Over the summer, our lead photographer, Darren, had the opportunity to film the behind the scenes video for Elle Italia & Michael Sanders Studio, on their “Urban Cowgirl” photo shoot! You can check out the video on the Elle Italia Website. It was scorching couple days in NYC, but Michael Sanders and his team nailed it and the photos turned out fantastic!!
When you’re planning a smaller, more intimate wedding, your options to create a unique experience really open up. You don’t have to worry about transporting or accommodating hundreds of guests. You can focus on your closest friends and family. Darcy & Monty wanted to create a truly memorable experience for their wedding and their guests, so they decided to have their ceremony on the Shearwater, a sailboat out of the North Cove Marina. Everyone was treated to a truly beautiful sunset ceremony with the Statue of Liberty as their background. And of course, there were spectacular views of lower Manhattan, as well. After the ceremony, they had a small intimate dinner at The Carlyle.
Like so many of our couples, Elizabeth and Andrew met in school, but this time it was Veterinary School. And how fitting is it that they chose to have their wedding at the Bronx Zoo? Animals, two people in love, Beautiful location…. sounds like a perfect wedding! It’s not everyday that you get to photograph a wedding at the Bronx Zoo, but it’s outdoor location for the ceremony is truly beautiful! The architecture of the Zoo Center building is spectacular! The building is the neo-classic style called Beaux-Arts. It has a similar styling to Grand Central Station and the Palais Garnier in Paris.
And when Elizabeth, Andrew, and I met last year for their wedding consultation, we hit it off pretty quickly. We share so many of the same interests! Between our love of animals, science, science fiction particularly Star Trek and Star Wars! I mean, come on, Andrew is rocking Millenium Falcon cuff links!! 😀 I knew that their wedding would be fun to photograph. And, In many weddings, I tend to learn a little something about love and life, and in listening to their speeches and vows, I really enjoyed how they embraced each others quirks. And I’m really happy for them.
Elizabeth, Andrew… Thank you for having us as your photographer!
Many say that one of the keys to finding the perfect partner is that they should be friends, first, which often helps for longevity of the relationship. And even the jewelry ads that you see on TV promote the idea that your partner should be your best friend. Adriana and Mike are a good example of that and when working and interacting with them during their engagement shoot, I could tell there was a special love and connection there. You can tell that they were friends, first, not just in a linear-time sense, but in their relationship, as well. Things just flowed really well. During the engagement shoot, Mike even said that they were friends before they started dating and that they dated for many years! An many of my married friends have echoed similar sentiments. What do you think? Can you see/feel the love between Adriana & Mike?
When it’s a beautiful day, what do you do, you go outside, right? But in NYC, the Highline gets crowded really early, so crowded that you can barely walk without bumping into someone. So when Patricia & Rory wanted to do their engagement shoot on the Highline, we knew we had to do it early in the morning! And I’ll be honest, I don’t think i have ever seen it that empty, except in the middle of the winter. But I think we got some great photos! What do you think?

For all the effort and planning that goes into a wedding, the one thing that you cannot control is Mother Nature. You can plan some contingencies for her, but, in the end, she’s the boss. For Seta & Peter, everything was meticulously planned out, but Mother Nature decided to drop a whole lot of rain on their wedding day. But that didn’t affect them. This wonderful couple made the most of it and rolled with the punches. And for they were rewarded with a beautiful rainbow!

As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, by living in NYC, we are spoiled with so many fabulous locations that it’s very difficult to choose where to do your engagement shoot. For Caitlin & Fred, we traded probably 3 or 4 emails on suggestions or ideas of where they wanted to do their engagement shoot. Originally, we were supposed to do parts of the Highline or West Village. But in the end, we randomly settled upon the Top of The Rock and Central Park. To avoid the crowds we opted to do the shoot as early as possible. And with that came harsh sunlight, a not so ideal situation for good photos. But I think it worked out pretty. The light was not ideal, but the location and their wonderful chemistry and energy made up for that. You can see in the photos that they really have a special love and connection. Their chemistry is great and these are one of those couples where you know will be alright. Caitlin even showed off her fabulous dance moves and that had Fred crackin’ up! 😛 (See the 3rd image below)

NYC is filled with so many classic locations for photo shoots, it’s quite overwhelming to choose. Central Park? Soho? East Village? Brooklyn Bridge? There’s too many from which to choose. But, when 2 attorneys get together, it seems quite fitting that they would choose to do their engagement shoot next the courthouse and many official government buildings in Lower Manhattan. I rarely go down to that part of town, but the area is filled with beautiful buildings that look like they belong in Washington DC. And it’s spectacularly beautiful.
As you can see from the photos, Corinne & Anthony have quite a connection. It’s pure simple and beautiful. During the photo shoot, I was lucky enough to see their chemistry and you can tell that they have what it takes to last forever! I cannot wait for their wedding next year!
