from the files of – you never know what you’re going to get to work with while shooting in central park – comes Mr. Bubble.
It seems there’s someone trying to give The Naked Cowboy a run for his money…. he blows bubbles all day long at Bethesda Fountain.
check out the upside down reflection of the fountain in the left hand side of the bubble
and the right side up reflection in the right side….
Can’t wait to photograph their wedding at the Essex House this spring…
lillian and richie really enjoyed central park the day we went to take their engagement portraits.
it was one of those magical days that made it seem like all the world was in love…
and even the gondola dude was singing…
an idyllic world in the middle of manhattan…
Shabu and Michael met while she was at Barnard and he was at Columbia and in fact, Michael proposed on campus.
It seemed only fitting that we do their engagement portraits at their alma mater…
wait until you see the wedding !
i had the pleasure of once again working with brie and aaron. we had met originally when i was shooting brie’s sister’s wedding at the one and only ocean club on paradise island a couple of years ago. this weekend was their wedding at the metropolitan club. can’t wait to share images from that wonderful party – but in the interim, here we are in hoboken…
so. funny story about this engagement portrait session. francine, peter and i are walking through Soho taking photos and I’ve got them on this stoop pictured below. we had just started shooting and I wanted to give them a little space to get comfortable so i went across the street to take some long shots.
of course, this being NYC and Soho no less, there are cars driving down the streets between us and taxis etc. and when the light changes red, they tend to line up between us so I can’t really get a shot.
so at one point a taxi pulls right up in front of me and someone starts getting out of the cab and i figure, well, it might be cool to shoot THROUGH the taxi, maybe get the meter in the corner of the shot or something…
i was working it but it didn’t really work.
but as the taxi pulls away a doorman comes up behind me and says, “that’s really nice, a**hole!”.
and i’m kinda caught off guard. “huh? what are you talking about?”
and he starts going off on me, “you f**in guys! – get the hell out of here and leave our people alone.”
anyway – to make a long story short – it turns out that Ricky Lake was getting out of the cab to go into this hotel and he thought i was a papparazzi stalking her.
if i was a papparazzi, i was either very good – to know that she would be pulling up in a taxi right then and there – or i was very bad – because i didn’t get a single shot with her in it.
here’s what i did get of the francine and peter though…
we’ll be shooting their wedding in September right in our own neighborhood at Tribeca Rooftop.
sometimes i can’t believe myself how far away from the city you can get in central park. 4 minutes into the park and it’s like you’re in New Hampshire or something.
are lindsay and steve starting a cute family or what?
