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)

there’s nothing like capturing the palpable excitement when the bride emerges from her dressing room for the first time.  especially when there’s an entourage the size of Allison’s.

you can see how the rest of the day played out below.

here are a few images from a wedding that Ron recently shot at The Bowery Hotel.

we had the pleasure of working with Jeannie Uyanik and Krista from C&G Weddings at Jane and Fred’s wedding at The Lighthouse.  just wanted to get a few images up to share…

“old school holdouts” take note.  in my opinion, it is much better for a bride and groom to see each other before their ceremony to do their portraits.  you just don’t get shots like these below when a couple sees each other for the first time at the altar. (see the tears on Jane’s cheek and on Fred’s jacket?)

so when we last left our beautiful bride, she was awaiting the beginning of her wedding ceremony at new york’s famed st. regis hotel

a great room for a ketubah signing…

and a final moment to collect thoughts before walking down the aisle…

the ballroom at the st. regis

and the view from the headtable

and the kiss at the cake cutting (alternate angle)

just another perfect day…

we photographed another beautiful wedding at The St. Regis Hotel recently and  i must say, if it absolutely has to rain on your wedding day, The St. Regis is a nice place to be – there’s plenty of stunning space to work with inside.

our many thanks to the always wonderful Ellen Kostman of Sidekick Events who did the planning and to Dejuan Stroud for the flowers.

the bride’s dress was Elizabeth Fillmore from the incomparable Mark Ingram Bridal Atelier.  we love mark and his staff!

and some sweet blues from manolo blahnik.

and the groom’s custom suit was by Mr. Ned with groom and groomsmen’s coordinating ties by hermes.

it was a great day or everybody.  ok, almost everybody.

more to come …. in part 2

we do quite a few corporate events and launch parties and I thought that it might be nice to share a few images from one of those.

this event was at the wonderful Cipriani 42nd Street.

just you and 550 of your closest colleagues…

the lovely hostesses

i’m going to quote from our own website here – our little writeup on using a wedding self-portrait studio:

“Ok. You finally get all of your family and friends together – dressed up and looking sharp. Everybody brings along a camera to take a group shot.  Oh, just let me get one picture… wait, let’s get her in this too… wait one sec…. look this way…. wait, put down your drink…. wait…look this way…. smile… wait, which button is it? Did the flash go off? Oh, you blinked… wait let’s do one more. Oh wait, do one with my camera too. And you never see them anyway. Not that that’s such a bad thing because they looked like crap. Our self-portrait studio is manned by a photographer, real equipment, real lighting, real fun. Guests take their own pictures with a remote and see the results instantly on screen. They keep going until they get what they love. They want a nice family formal – we’ll make sure they get it. Want a group shot of school friends – have at it. And after a few drinks…. they get kinda fun. High resolution files can be used to make great big images – not some little rinky dink strip that one person runs off with. No better way to memorialize your friends.”

And here’s what you get (I’ll skip past the nice family pictures to the, “sure we’ve had a few drinks” fun stuff) :

And then it starts to get out of control….

Early this morning, I met with Capitale’s Director of Catering, Larry Goldfarb and Amanda Len to chat about the upcoming year.  For those of you who may not know, Capitale is a wonderful event space in the old Bowery Savings Bank building on… you guessed it… Bowery Street on the Lower East Side.  If you want a grand Beaux Arts space that’ll fit between 200 and 400 people or so you can’t do much better than Stanford White’s stunning 1895 space.

I thought I would share some images from a wedding we photographed at Capitale in the fall.

They’ve got this great old mirrored brass elevator.

And there’s so much great culture to work with in the neighborhood!

Mike’s wonderful sense of humor…
