Michael & Larissa’s First Dance at Crystal Springs Resort.

Larissa’s Hair by Elements & Reflection Spa and make up by Jillyan of Skinbar and Paint.  Larissa looks stunning!

The couple had a Ukranian Catholic ceremony at St. Andrew’s Ukranian Catholic Church in Hamburg, New Jersey.  I love all the colors.

Event planner, Nina Hoffer made sure everything went smoothly.   Thanks, Nina.

I have never seen such unique place cards before.  Love them!

The room looked so elegant.  Here’s a detail of the menu.

I had so much fun with this couple.  Victor’s sneakers added a cool element so I thought I would put him in the tub.  Love it when my couples are game for something different!

Jennifer

Jennifer looks so elegeant.  Love her hair and makeup.

Bridal Party at Liberty House

The chess peices from the Liberty House added a fun touch to the bridal party images.

Flowers by Laura Clare. Laura also created the signs on the couple’s chairs.

Victor and his friends sharing cigars in front of the NYC skyline.

I love photographing headshots.  There is something special about bringing out the aliveness in a person and capturing it in a photograph.  Seeing the beauty in someone is very gratifying.  Here are some head shots that I’ve done the last few weeks.

One of my favorite photographs during the summer was of Matthew.  We had so many wonderful images we put together a storyboard collage that his Mom loved.  We also created a custom birthday inviation from his session.

Here’s Matthew’s Birthday Invitation…..He had his Birthday party at Michael Anthony’s in Jersey City on Washington Blvd.

Sunday was a busy day.  Just after photographing the Gay Pride Parade I ran over to Exquisite Bride in Millburn, New Jersey where Real Housewife, Dina Manzo was greeting brides and signing the latest copy of New Jersey Bride Magazine.   I got to sample cakes from Palermos Bakery – so delicious!

Creative Card Boxes from Marni Gold

Dina looked amazing and was so gracious to the brides.  Also featured were some  of Sareh Nouri’s gowns.  There was  a beautiful pink gown and another gown that I loved which featured a cap sleeve.

Gay Pride

It has been a while since my last post.  Today was an awesome day as I got to photograph just a taste of the Gay Pride Parade in New York City.  The energy was awesome and so many happy people were there.  The city was ablaze with much joy and celebration as the Marriage Equality Act was passed just a couple days ago.  We welcome same sex weddings and will post some more images.

Rev. Gregory Johnson spoke at Marble Collegiate  Church

David Beahm and his amazing designs were at Neiman Marcus Short Hills to benefit The Weldon FOP Research Fund.   These table settings were filled with color and I especially love the Christian Louboutin shoes that added a whimsical touch to the table.  Hillary Weldon of the Weldon FOP Research fund spoke about the rare disabling genetic condition that Fibrodsyplasia Ossificans Progressive (FOP) produces.  I sincerely hope that a cure is found to reverse its devastating efforts.  To learn more please see www.weldonfog.org.   Thank you David and Neiman Marcus and all those who attended this event.

Just a quick posting of a few images from Amelia and Ryan’s January 2011 wedding at the W Hotel in Hoboken.  It was great to walk to St. Peter & Paul and catch the snow on the street in the photographs.   I especially love the exquisite red bouquet by Garden’s Bloom in hoboken.  I will post more images of this wedding later.

Wow February is almost over and we are headed for Spring!  Okay enough of the snow already.  I keep thinking about colorful flowers and I opened my mail today and got a few copies of The Warren Showcase Magazine which featured my photograph on the cover.   I was so excited to see such a great print out of the vibrant colors leaping off the page.  I created the photograph with the talented floral designer, Laura Clare some time ago at Amanda’s Restaurant in Hoboken, New Jersey.  Love those colors and can’t wait for Spring!

I was watching the Golden Globes and I was reminded of one of my wedding couples, Allison and Brian, on the Red Carpet at  Stage 6 at Steiner Studios which has some amazing views of the New York City.

The music was awesome with Barry Herman Entertainment.   They really got everyone moving!
