Karen and Baruch’s engagement session was unique to me for three main reasons. For one, it’s indoors. We had planned to shoot outside at the beautiful Fort Tryon Park, but then we got thrown a curve ball. It was 12 degrees outside. We opted to shoot in the Metropolitan Museum, which was fine by me!

When Amber and David stepped out of the Uber at 7 am and 27 degrees, I was smitten.  Not only were they awake, they were full of giddy laughter, and they looked like a million bucks. Honestly, before I even met them that morning, I was slightly obsessed. They were only going to be in […]

Near the very end of our session, as I was putting all my gear back into its bag, and we were warming up from the chilly shoot, I noticed Tina Marie and Brian having some hushed conversation. She walked over to me and made maybe the sweetest invitation I’ve ever heard. “Do you want to […]

Ambe’s smile is pure joy. Nothing against the other couples at City Hall that day (and it was bustling!), but the megawatt joy and excitement pouring out of Ambe and Marzio was unmissable. Marzio’s parents were visiting from Italy, so the couple decided a few weeks earlier that it would be a great opportunity to […]

“Hey, I wanted to pick your brain about maybe photographing our wedding,” Alysha said in an audio text message. “But like, also, FULLY say ‘I would rather just be a guest’ and I will be like ‘Absolutely. Understood.’ because, you know, first and foremost you’ll be a guest… I don’t know. Thoughts? Feelings?” Thoughts:  YES […]

Chelsy and Will make my heart sing. One of my favorite parts of the session came as we were just getting started, when Will admitted that he doesn’t love having his picture taken. This was great because it gave me the opportunity to set a context for our engagement session — it wasn’t about taking […]

For two months of my life, every night I would try to get Stefanie to marry me. And now I couldn’t be happier that she is engaged to Kyle. Huh? Let me explain. About a year ago, Stefanie and I were cast as actors in the Off-Broadway production of A Dog Story, in which my […]

Before heading to Central Park for our engagement session, Kashika and Ashish had arranged to take a visit to the Top of the Rock. Once we got up there… wow!  I could see why. I’ve lived in New York City for 18 years, and this was my first visit up to see those incredible and […]

Amanda and Maria had my favorite kind of wedding; it wasn’t about the wedding, it was about two people committing their lives to each other. With the support of their community. And I’m not just talking about their wedding guests. The three of us snuck out of the beautiful 3 West Club and into Rockefeller […]
