Eddie + Cindy | Fort Tyron Park Engagement Photos

Thu, 17 May 2012 11:38:38 -0500

There's so many great things I have to say about this couple. First off, I love animals and especially when clients decide to bring their pets along during the photo shoot. Seeing them both interact with their dog definitely brings out their characteristics. In addition, their wedding this year will be at the Venetian Yacht Club, which is the same venue where my wife and I got married. While I will be creating new memories for this sweet couple, I will be reliving some valuable memories of my own! Eddie and Cindy definitely has great taste with choosing their vendors and details for the wedding.

We decided to have our photo shoot at Fort Tyron Park. In New York City, we have plenty of parks but what amazes me about Fort Tyron is the beautiful view and paths. After introducing this location to Eddie and Cindy, they were sold once they heard about the stone buildings, Hudson river view and scenic paths. Thank you both for such an enjoyable photo shoot, I can't wait to capture your wedding later this year!

Christina + Monroe's Liberty State Park engagement photos

Mon, 16 Apr 2012 13:16:24 -0500

I feel so lucky to be able to photograph this lovely couple. Not only because they are fun and easy to photograph, but because they are genuinely good-hearted and down to earth people. Christina and Monroe are both dedicated runners and competition is definitely in their system. Not only is that obvious since they are a great looking couple, but their dedication to working hard in life and in their relationship is clearly visible as well. They are a couple that is completely in love and in sync. I always tell myself that to reach any goal, whether it's a finish line at a race or a life goal, it's always best to complete it with a partner by your side. With that said, Christina and Monroe are partners that can tackle any obstacles in their path together.

With the unusually warm winter behind us, we embraced the warm early spring weather for our engagement shoot. And I learned from this photo shoot that New Jersey has some great gems for photography. Photographing at Liberty State Park in Jersey City was such a pleasure. From breathtaking views of the New York City skyline to tall monument walls, we definitely enjoyed our time out there. Thank you both for being such great company on a beautiful spring day! You were both so enjoyable to work with! We're only several months away to your big day and looking forward to it!

Billy + Avy | Linden Place, Flushing Wedding

Fri, 23 Dec 2011 08:43:32 -0500

We loved photographing A'vy and Billy's wedding last month! They had a classic and elegant wedding ceremony and reception at Linden Place in Flushing. Along with their friends and family, their dog made an appearance as the ring bearer. There was lots of love in the air, and fun too! All the details were absolutely stunning and A'vy and Billy were a joy to work with. Enjoy a few of our favorites! Congrats again to A'vy and Billy!

Manda + Sam's | Flushing Meadow Park, Mudan wedding

Tue, 29 Nov 2011 22:08:01 -0500

Manda and Sam are an amazing couple and so much fun to work with. It was already evident from their engagement session that they were full of smiles and laughter. Imagine that and multiply by many many times more! This wedding day was truly a reflection of their love and happiness to be with one another.

It was a beautiful November fall day with just the right amount of sunlight and breeze. Fall is a great time for pictures as any outdoor shots portray the beautiful colors of the season.

It was also one awesome celebration. Manda and Sam were married at Mudan banquet hall in Flushing, Queens. The reception was all about family, friends and fun. And this bridal party knew how to have fun! As the night went on, everyone continued to laugh and dance. It was truly a wedding to remember!

Manda and Sam, congratulations again, and thank you for letting me capture your special day. I also hope you both had a great Thanksgiving holiday, as true love and happiness as genuine as what you share is truly something to be thankful for.

Andrea + David | Westbury Manor wedding

Thu, 24 Nov 2011 14:39:54 -0500

The bridesmaids gathered around the soon-to-be bride, making adjustments to her gorgeous, strikingly-white gown as they offer her wishes of luck and hope. At a separate location not so very far away, the groom jokes around with the groomsmen, trying to calm his nerves about the heartfelt ceremony that is about to take place. It is the day that Andrea and David are to be married in a romantic ceremony at Westbury Manor. This traditional Victorian manor was the perfect location for this couple to exchange vows of the love and friendship. Featuring exquisite English gardens and elegant banquet rooms, Westbury Manor was the perfect setting for a picture-perfect wedding.

On October 22, 2011, this beautiful couple was joined together in marriage as family and friends looked on lovingly. No words can explain the glow that spread slowly across Andrea's face as she saw her groom for the first time. Yet, there was no comparison in the way that David's eyes widened when he saw his beautiful bride slowly making her way towards him.

Full of sentimental memories, joyous tears, and perpetual laughter, the day was aglow with the energy that radiated from the joining of these two lives into one. So please join me in wishing this couple a long, healthy, happy marriage full of beautiful memories and exciting new adventures!

Anna + Jack | Fire Island engagement photos

Wed, 26 Oct 2011 19:23:36 -0500

Fire Island is always an exciting and romantic place to shoot engagement photos, and for Anna and Jack the beautiful scenery only added to the already passionate sparks between them. Anna and Jack will be joining together in marriage this coming December and I could see such excitement and anticipation in their eyes. They were such fun to work with and very photogenic!

Going for a stroll along the deck, the lovely couple could barely take their eyes off of one another. Joy seemed to just spring out of them as they smiled at one another lovingly. A quiet moment here and there is a breathtaking picture of how love should be; both fun and serious but always sincere. It was clear as I started snapping the shots that this couple has that true love. Their affections were both natural and sincere.

A smile can say a thousand words, but no words are necessary when Anna and Jack are in each other's arms. They just enjoy their time together. The couple embraces with the brilliant, old lighthouse in the background, and it is the perfect symbol of the marriage that Anna and Jack are sure to have--strong, powerful and growing evermore special with every year that passes.

Down on the beach the beautiful ocean and waves are just too much for this happy couple, and Jack picks Anna up and spins her around as the two playfully embrace. The scene is just too romantic for words and yet all these two can do is stare deeply into each other's eyes and pull close for a sweet kiss. Yes, there was love in the air on Fire Island, and Anna and Jack were creating a heat of their own!

I had such a blast at this photo shoot and enjoyed the company of this beautiful couple. Thank you Anna and Jack and may your marriage be as beautiful as the two of you are together!

Manda + Sam's | Brooklyn, Coney Island engagement photos

Wed, 19 Oct 2011 22:59:02 -0500

Having lived most of my life in Brooklyn, I am always excited when couples choose to have their photo shoot here. We started our shoot at Marine Park, followed by a stroll along the boardwalk in Coney Island, and finished our day on the NYC subway. Despite the attention this good-looking couple was attracting, it did not bother them one bit. They only had eyes for each other. I also love it when couples are daring and not afraid to try something new. Manda and Sam were not afraid to climb obstacles or sit on train platforms to get the perfect shot. Thank you guys for a wonderful time!

Manda and Sam, enjoy the photos and I can't wait until your big day. Congratulations again!

Jessica + Brian | Washington Square Park, NYU engagement

Wed, 19 Oct 2011 22:44:29 -0500

There's always something memorable about every couple from every photo shoot. For Jessica and Brian, what really stuck in my mind was their laughter. I love how easy it was for Brian to get Jessica to laugh when the two were together. You can clearly see the chemistry between them both. We began our session at Washington Square Park and explored the lovely surrounding neighborhood. After spending some time strolling through the park and the brownstones, we ended up at NYU, Jessica's alma mater. With this special perk, we were able to get around campus buildings without any problems. It was great getting to know them both before their wedding next year. Thank you, Jessica and Brian, for a lovely day in the city and congratulations again, I can't wait till your wedding next year!

Christine + Dan | Battery Park engagement photos

Sun, 16 Oct 2011 19:45:44 -0500

Christine and Dan are getting married next year. We took a few hours to go out and shoot some engagement photos around Battery Park. We definitely had a great time despite the fickle weather that we've been having in New York City lately. As you can see from the pictures, there's still plenty of green out there. Fall may be sneaking up on us with the strong winds and the change in colors lately, but for these two, summer loving is not over yet! There's no doubt your laughter, love and fun will warm you both for the many cold months to come! Christine and Dan, thanks for a lovely afternoon! Congratulations again!

An TIng + Chris | The Vanderbilt, South Beach wedding

Fri, 30 Sep 2011 18:19:40 -0500

Who says you have to go all the way to South Beach, Florida to experience the excitement, fun, beautiful people, and dancing when we have our very own right here in New York? Along the eastern shore of Staten Island lays this borough's hidden treasure - a stretch of over 2 miles of sandy beach with a boardwalk and is not only perfect for fishing and biking, but for weddings as well! The beautiful Vanderbilt at South Beach is located right in the heart of it all. The venue provides beautiful ocean-front views of the Lower New York Bay as well as the Verrazano Narrow Bridge, and most importantly, Brooklyn, the place where it all began for An Ting and Chris.

On this beautiful Saturday, I almost forgot I was working while capturing the special moments and fun of An Ting and Chris's wedding day. The bride and her bridesmaids were dressed in elegant full-length gowns accommodated by bright bouquets that accentuated their style and elegance. The ladies kept their high spirits and excitement throughout the day and were great to work with. The groomsmen knew just how to have fun as well! Looking tough on the police barricade, it was obvious nothing could ever block Chris' way to An Ting! The groomsmen chatted about their passion for cars, kept the mood light, and looked sharp for the beautiful ladies.

After a beautiful ceremony where An Ting and Chris expressed their love and commitment to each other and their new life as husband and wife, the happy couple joined their friends for a fine reception. The reception hall lit up beautifully and the fantastic music created the perfect atmosphere for a grand party. Before the night was over, the dance floor became THE place to be. All of An Ting and Chris' friends kept the party going with dancing all night long!

The happy couple took off for their honeymoon in Puerto Rico after the wedding. If the wedding day is any indication of what's to come (and I think it is), Chris and An Ting are in for a life full of love and excitement. I am honored to have been there for the first page in this new chapter of their lives!

Congratulations An Ting and Chris! All the best to you both!

Catherine + Quincy | Jericho Terrace Wedding

Mon, 26 Sep 2011 22:12:21 -0500

She knew he was the one when she saw his big heart. Sure, he was funny, athletic and charming like she had dreamed he would be, but once she saw through the exterior, it was confirmed. There was no one else more giving, caring and generous than Quincy.

He knew she was the one when she told him she was a Yankees fan. Sure, she was pretty, sweet, and can probably out drink him like he had dreamed she would be, but once she passed his Yankees trivia, it was confirmed. There was no one else more understanding and compatible than Catherine. And so it began...

After five and a half years of growing the love and bond that they now share, Catherine and Quincy declared their vows for each other in front of all their closest family and friends. But before these lovebirds made it down the aisle, it was a long fun-filled day beginning with games and tea ceremonies at both the bride and groom's houses. The bridesmaids didn't make it easy for Quincy, either. Armed with creative yet traditional Chinese wedding door games, the bridesmaids made sure Quincy, with the help of his groomsmen, professed his love for Catherine in every way possible, including spelling out "I <3 CAT" using their bodies.

The ceremony and reception took place at Jericho Terrace in Mineola, New York. The circular driveway around a stone fountain and a beautiful garden creates a magnificent entrance to the wedding hall. The reception was held in a skylight ballroom making it an incredibly romantic and elegant atmosphere. It was the perfect ambiance for a couple as special as Catherine and Quincy.

Catherine and Quincy, it was an absolute pleasure to capture your special day for you. Congratulations and I wish you both love, happiness, laughter, and many Yankees games for years to come

Susan + Rafael's wedding at The Duke Farm

Sun, 18 Sep 2011 18:37:55 -0500

On Saturday, September 3rd, I had the pleasure of capturing a special moment in the lives of Susan and Rafael as they celebrated their wedding. The couple - a travel enthusiast and chef, respectively - tied the knot on a quiet little farm, The Duke Farm, about an hour outside of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, nestled right in the middle of Pennsylvania Dutch Country. The skies were clear and the sun was setting over the cornfield. The ceremony was beautiful: The ring bearer and flower girl did their jobs well, the guests were all very excited to be there, and it was all made perfect by the farm setting and the love that ties this couple together. You could see the excitement and anticipation on Rafael's face as his bride to be walked down the aisle - truly amazing! It seemed as everything was right in the world on that day so that this couple could celebrate, and celebrate they did! The group in attendance was small, But that didn't stop the atmosphere from being intimate and friendly as the very happy bride and groom partied with their close friends and family.

Susan absolutely glowed in a strapless wedding dress. Rafael looked sharp wearing a suit in gunmetal grey with a silver tie that coordinated with the dress perfectly. The two were all smiles the whole time. You could see their love for each other in their eyes, and it made the day that much more special. The simple elegance of the whole affair was present in the silks the attendants wore, the jewel tones of the flowers, and the simple but beautiful location of the event. The personality of the couple shone through the carefully picked details that made the day unforgettable.

I am blessed to have been able to spend this special day with Susan and Rafael. This new chapter in their lives will undoubtedly be a happy one, and I wish them the best of luck in everything to come. Thank you and congratulations, Susan and Rafael!

Leanne + Phil | City Hall wedding | Battery Park Photos

Thu, 01 Sep 2011 09:18:32 -0500

Through my photography, I am given the opportunity to share life's special moments with my clients. From time to time a moment will touch me a little more than my typical session. This was the case with the wedding of Leanne and Phil, a beautiful couple who has shared life's ups and downs together. Through it all their love prevailed and they tied the knot on August 18th in a small private ceremony at city hall with only their closest family and friends looking on. Although the wedding was small it made a huge impact on everyone in attendance. Following the small intimate ceremony, we headed to Battery Park to take some photographs of the newlyweds.

Leeanne looked radiant and was still glowing following the ceremony. You could tell she had just married the love her life and was ready to start the next chapter of her life with him. He looked very casual while still remaining traditional for the small wedding. Their love is unmistaken and it shows through on the photos. We were able to get many beautiful images of the couple all over the park, and family and friends even jumped in to share the fun with us. It was wonderful capturing the pure joy surrounding everyone as they celebrated the union of this wonderful couple.

Leanne and Phil's wedding is one I will not soon forget. I have this great opportunity with my career to meet so many different people, and it is a real honor to play such a huge role in photographing life's moments. This was a wonderful day with an extraordinary couple. I wish Leanne and Phil all the best as they take on life as man and wife. Congratulations and best wishes!

Chris + An Ting | Battery Park, evening engagement photos

Wed, 31 Aug 2011 07:44:12 -0500

It's not every day that you have an engagement shoot in the middle of a hurricane evacuation, but that is exactly what happened on Friday evening, August 26th. Chris and An Ting were determined to have their engagement shoot in the evening and they were not ready to let any hurricane stand in their way.

I love when clients are unique and take it upon them to suggest the shooting locations or other ideas. Chris and Ann Ting were just that couple. They are adventurous, fun loving and ready for anything. They are couple who knows what they want, and I was ready to give that too them.

The location of the engagement session was downtown New York at Battery Park on the west side. The location offered many different landscapes and structures to work with. Nighttime sessions pose a different type of challenge with lighting, but when done right they produce truly spectacular images. I work all over New York, so it makes it more exciting for me when couples have their own vision and come to the session with ideas.

Chris and An Ting looked great in their chosen outfits. The first outfit had An Ting, a recent graduate from nursing school, wearing a fabulous body hugging white dress with gold zipper detailing on the shoulders. Chris was wearing simple gray and white gingham shirt with black dress slacks. They are a beautiful couple and they were relaxed for the entire photo session. The second outfit selection was a bit more casual, Chris was wearing a sharp white button down untucked with a pair of great jeans. An Ting was in a beautiful red dress that had a small tie halter. They were both so in synch with each other it was a joy to watch and photograph.

The engagement session went amazing, and the images turned out just fantastic. We were able to capture tender moments even in the hours right before Sundays Hurricane. The couple kept their cool even with people rushing all around us to evacuate. The serenity brought to the images truly came from the couple's interactions with each other. We were also able to capture the beauty of New York City and it's lights. This was a perfect setting for these two love birds.

An Ting and Chris will be tying the knot on September 24th, 2011 at the beautiful Vanderbilt south beach in Staten Island. This beach front ballroom is the perfect setting for a wonderful wedding. The couple is really looking forward to the big day and cannot wait to share their lives with each other. I want to thank Chris and Ann Ting for an amazing session. Best of luck to you both.
