i consider my team of photographers among the best at capturing those split second funny moments that go on at weddings.  but sometimes humor comes not from something that happens at the wedding but comes from the photographer and the actual act of “fixing” the image.  in these cases, there is no ‘joke’ per se outside the photograph itself.

i thought i’d share a couple of examples …

Just wanted to finally give props to Ron who shot the “epic” section header for The Reception section of New York Magazine’s Winter Weddings Issue.  It was another beautiful wedding design by Jung Lee of Fete and was held at the amazing Brooklyn Museum.

we will share more details of this stunner of an event shortly.

PDN has just released the results of their annual Top Knots contest. This image from David and Vanessa’s wedding snagged a place in the receptions category!

The image, titled “Fin”, was used to end the article. Clever, PDN… very clever!

i LOVE it when all the details come together! tamra and michael’s wedding was a splendid black and white affair. of course, there’s the obvious – bridal gown, groom’s tux, the bridal party attire and flowers, the paper materials. but these two took event design to the next level. from a FABULOUS cake by ron ben-israel to their adorable dog, bella – you’ll have to check out the images below for a glimpse into their black and white wedding.

venue: gramercy park hotel

we’ve seen some really fantastic hair accessories at some of our recent weddings, and it got us talking today about all the brides that stuck in our minds because of their creative hair accoutrement. the list grew surprisingly longer and longer – and we decided we just had to share some of them with you!

from complex up dos to simple, playful ponytails, we’ve seen it all. here are some of our favorites:

the new issue of The Knot New York has hit the newsstands – and inside is an amazing feature spread of Sami and Justin’s wedding at The St. Regis!

if we’ve got you wanting more, you can see their wedding on the blog:

and the long-awaited part two… more great images from David and Vanessa’s wedding at The Plaza Hotel.

Michelle Rago and her team put together a splendid event. the room was beautiful.

David’s Numbers co-star Judd Hirsch was really bringing it on the dance floor!

Seth Rogen, James Franco, Martin Starr, Jay Baruchel, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Rob Morrow, and so many other hilarious people together in one big ballroom makes for quite the party. it was a star-studded evening and EVERYONE was having a good time.

the beautiful cake by Ron Ben-Israel, one of our favorite cake designers!

the bouquet was a HOT commodity. i’m not sure we’ve ever seen the girls wrestle it out like this…

Many thanks to Emily Reifel at The Plaza for always keeping the show running smoothly…

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!”

Not sure if you got a chance to see the latest New York Magazine Weddings Issue… but we were delighted that we were asked to share our images of Ranee and Nir for both a feature wedding and the introduction for their Album Section.

Below, Ranee gets ready in the Presidential Suite of The Plaza Hotel.

And the best part for you 80s disco/funk  junkies – their band was Kool And The Gang.

Cake by Sylvia Weinstock.

We’ve won an award in this quarter’s WPJA Photo Competition for a shot from Vanessa Britting and David Krumholtz’s celebrity packed wedding at The Plaza Hotel.

I’m a fan of the WPJA since the way they run their competition puts every Wedding Photojournalist on even footing.  Every member get’s the same limited number of entries so you can’t buy yourself an advantage like many photographers do in other competitions.  You also don’t name your photos or provide any additional information about the backstory.  If the photo doesn’t say it – it doesn’t factor into the judging.   You also can’t photoshop your image – so there’s none of that crazyness.  Get it right in the camera or go home.  Lastly, it is a true worldwide competition with thousands of photographers competing (it’s amazing how many great pj wedding images come from Eastern Europe!) so even a sixth place is pretty cool.  This is our 5th winner in WPJA contests.

p.s.  Can you spot the 3 videographers?
