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.

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 […]

I was thrilled that Michelle and Peter wanted to take photos in Union Square – because that is where they met!  Once I met them there, I got the full story. Four and a half years ago, Peter was working in a food truck right off Union Square when Michelle came up to his window.  […]

As I approached the Brooklyn Museum, one of Amanda and Maria’s favorite spots, I was welcomed by two big smiles and two warm hugs.  I had a blast hanging out with these two and visiting the Museum, the Grand Army Plaza, and some of Brooklyn’s beautiful greenery.  They also have a fondness for Mr. Softy […]
