Monica and Michel were married December 27th at Pratt Mansion in New York City. We went to The Metropolitan Museum of Art for some fun photos before the ceremony and since it was so chilly we stopped for some hot cocoa. Pratt Mansion is beautiful and the floral designer - Fleurs, and lighting designer - Bentley Meeker were fabulous. I'm not even finished editing but here's my favorites so far!
I photographed Iron Chef Cat Cora at the Institute of Culinary Education last night. She was giving a cooking demonstration and signed her book "Cooking From the Hip". Yum! I think I'm inspired!
Of course we all want to lower our impact on the environment and work to lower our carbon footprint. Working digitally allows us to eliminate the thousands of gallons of developer and other chemicals used in the developing and printing processes. Camera batteries are all rechargeable as are the batteries and battery packs we use in our lighting equipment meaning we do not have to fill landfills with toxic batteries each week. We recycle as much as we can and try to work with local vendors and small businesses. We also offer images on CD to cut down on paper usage. Hey - I even bike to work when I can! Every little bit helps.
I am adding a list of vendors that provide eco-friendly services. Please email me if you know of a vendor that could be added!
