Alissa and Julie's New Jersey Wedding - Part I

I had the pleasure of shooting Alissa and Julie's wedding in July in Morristown, New Jersey. They were married at St. Peter's Episcopal Church officiated by Janet Broderick (yes, Matthew's sister!). Their reception followed at the church and a great time was had by all! The event was covered by The New York Times and was published the same day that gay couples could get married in New York! What an historic event and we were thrilled to be a part of it!






















I'll post Part II on Monday including the ceremony and recption along with a link to the full image gallery!

First comes love, then comes BABIES!

OK, you know I love a fabulous wedding! But you know one of the best parts of my job? The babies! I've shot over 100 weddings and I just love being the first "official photographer" for my little clients! I design custom birth announcements and have created some pretty amazing baby albums for families.

Here is an archival, bespoke album hot off the press - it is an 8x8 matted album covered in a grained slate-blue leather and custom embossing. We even had the birth announcement we made mounted on the first page! This client is a favorite and we have made these for all of her 4 kids!

All newborn, baby, can children sessions can be archived in these hand-made luxe book!




This album has a die-cut image front and black text embossing.

Here is the custom announcement mounted in the front of the book for safekeeping!

Polaroids on the High Line

Here's some of my faves - we took some afternoon shots along the High Line and over by the West Side Highway. I love these Polaroid effects! It takes me back! This is always a great location for family and engagement shoots - we even shot some wedding shots up here!

The Children's Aid Society Foster Care Recognition

Last night I shot the Foster Care Recognition event for The Children's Aid Society at Maestro's in The Bronx. I believe in giving back and thank my good friend Bill Bytsura for joining me in shooting this event pro-bono. Everyone had a fabulous time and it was great to see all of these foster parents together!
