i know, i know. obviously these images weren’t taken in the middle of february… there’s no way raya could stand this winter weather in her summer dress! but we just shot raya and adam’s wedding at the pleasantdale chateau, so i wanted to introduce them by sharing some of their engagement images.

romantic…

with just the right touch of fun…

check out more of raya and adam’s engagement images on strictly weddings. winter wedding images coming soon!!

Love is, is too weak a word for what I feel – I lurve you, you know, I loave you, I luff you, two F’s, yes I have to invent, of course I – I do, don’t you think I do?     -Woody Allen

one of the greatest parts of living and working as a photographer in new york city is that, waiting around every corner, there’s something new to shoot. there’s always something interesting going on – be it the romantic beauty of central park or the juxtaposition of a gritty city street, every portrait session we shoot is a unique slice of life.

and sometimes the reaction is priceless…

i love shooting people from other countries here in my hometown of Manhattan.  after awhile we New Yorkers do get a bit jaded, it’s true – but through the eyes of out-of-towners, we can re-experience the awesomeness of this great city.

and with that introduction we meet Alison and Nick – a couple of Aussies who came to the big apple to tie the knot.

and experience some of the coldest temps ever in December…

Nick had never experienced serious cold before in his life.  That handsome scowl on his face should actually be read as, “Christ, mate, my fingers are turnin’ bloody numb!”

The results of the Wedding Photojournalists Association were just announced yesterday and we were happy to find out that two of our images won awards.

The first, was from Nora and Matt’s wonderful wedding at The Metropolitan Club.  The second was from Tamara and Michael’s Engagement Session in SoHo.

JUDGES COMMENTS: I like the layers in this photograph. It’s nice to have context in an image and to be able to see where and how many people attend the wedding. This photograph accomplishes both as a slow shutter speed records this man studying his paperwork a blur of attendees swirl in the background. Nice framing with the symmetrical lights and perfectly framed entrance that highlights the sharpness of all the detail in and outside the room.

JUDGES COMMENTS: The beauty of this image is how the primary focus on the vendor is not lost among the crowded elements of the scene. It’s partly due to the subject’s own actions. He is deliberate and focused. It’s hard to miss his professionalism. But the image gets the award for supporting actor through artful use of leading lines used in the composition combined with lighting that leads our eyes directly to his scrutiny.

JUDGES COMMENTS: I like the way this portrait includes their dog! Just adds an element about them that gives us a sense of who they are. Their embrace is very sweet and the urban context is interesting and the dog is not sure what to think of it all. Nice framing of the image.

Personally, I like the way the graphic face on the lefthand door seems to be watching the couple.

wanted to share a couple of my favorite portraits from a session that we had recently with jane and fred in central park.

and i’ve never been able to use an electric chair as a prop before but you never know what you’ll find on city streets to use.

(and yes, those are real – but currently out of commission – electric chairs)

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…
