My favorite shoots are often those that integrate Manhattan as part of the subject regardless if it’s a New York City wedding or a portrait session. So i was ‘jazzed’ when Ceci asked if we could do a shoot for Ceci Style at Jazz at Lincoln Center – which is also one of my favorite jazz places. Ceci had done the JALC influenced invitations for one of my couples, Cate and JD who held their David Stark designed wedding reception there.
Check out the full feature including our images from Cate and JD’s wedding .
We also contributed a set of Expert Style Tips on How To Make Sure You Love Your Wedding Photographs that we think all brides should consider before hiring their wedding photographer.
Many thanks to all the members of the Creative Team

We’ve finally come down off the high, so now we can share our good news… Ron has just joined Brian on American Photo’s list of ‘Top 10 Wedding Photographers in the World.’ This is the first year that it’s been awarded to TWO photographers in the same studio! In other words… 66.6% of our Principle Photographers are among the Top 10 in the World. Heck, even my kids are excited. Our puppy? Well, she’s excited about everything.
For those of you who don’t know, American Photo’s award is THE most coveted in the wedding photography industry. So we’re extra honored to be so recognized by the industry press.
If you don’t know Ron, as a professional photojournalist, he was named ‘Photographer of the Year’ by the New York Press Association, and his work has won multiple National Press Photographer’s Awards as well as ‘Picture of the Year’ Awards.
A huge thank you to our friends who have given us the chance to do what we love, meet great people, share our passion with others, and create memories. We are extremely grateful.
And if you haven’t seen it lately, take a sec and check out our work online. Maybe you’ll even give us a friendly shout out if you see what American Photo Magazine sees in our work. Then tell your friends. After all, you can probably feel pretty good about recommending a studio that has TWO of the Top 10 Wedding Photographers in the World.
And of course, all these photos were taken by Ron for Brian Dorsey Studios.
If you made it to the bottom here we hope you’ll still want to check out our website. Or at the very least meet our puppy.
Thought we’d share a few of our favorite featured shots and our featured wedding from this season’s New York Weddings Magazine.
The first feature, entitled “In it to Win It” is about Bouquet Tosses gone wild. (look below for an enlargement of the included shot) The best part here is the context – these two guests battled it out for those flowers rolling on the floor (which seems like an hour in the moment) – at the ballroom of the Plaza Hotel at the wedding of actors David Krumholtz and Vanessa Britting. It’s not exactly what we were expecting at an event where celebrity guests included james franco, joseph gordon-levitt and seth rogen. Or maybe it should have been…
The second section featured two of our images was for an article on how NYC itself often plays a part in wedding photographs.
In the image below the bride and groom have just seen each other for the first time in Central Park’s Conservancy Gardens. The tourists round out the moment in the frame – and I love the expression on the man in the hat that leaves you wondering, what the heck is HE thinking right now?
This next shot – which we’ve posted here in color occcured when we were shooting some portraits and a woman who lived in the building came out with her dog wearing a cone. Our bride Lauren was exceptionally sympathetic.
Lastly was our featured wedding on Zak and Caroline who had their ceremony at the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens with the reception at the stunning brooklyn museum.

i was creating an art piece for my home on a recent family holiday that would instantly “take me back” to the turquoise waters of this wonderful little island.
now wouldn’t it be great if the hudson was this blue?
Please welcome Tink, our new studio mascot.
As soon as she has completed her training program (e.g. potty), her job assignments will include greeting clients at the door and welcoming them into the studio with an unrivaled effervescence, vacuuming the studio floors and generally staying directly underfoot. She will also do some periodic ghost blogging because as you can see below, she has a better sense of humor than i do.

[i know there was no question - but we dog people always ask these things]
Ron’s wonderful photojournalist’s storytelling skills gives us another great example of humor that doesn’t exist outside the photograph itself…

Megan and Ryan’s Cape Cod wedding feature in Bliss Celebrations is on newsstands now! Ah the seaside bliss of the Cape…
I also thought it would be fun to share with you some of the images that don’t make the editorial cut when a magazine layout is put together.
More great destination weddings to come.

One of the most fun weddings from last year was Erin and Jeff’s in Harbour Island in the Bahamas. If you haven’t heard of Harbour Island, don’t feel bad, it’s precisely because they are trying to keep it that way. It’s a tiny little thing that you have to take a boat to and then you get around via golf carts (nope, no cars on island). But it’s an idyllic place for a wedding. Martha Stewart Weddings recently featured Erin and Jeff’s big day and we thought you’d like to check it out. That way, the next time someone mentions Harbour Island – you’ll know exactly what they’re talking about.
