Whereas “New York Magazine” is the go to magazine for New Yorkers – in Shanghai, it’s “The Bund”.

Recently our studio was featured in The Bund and had an entire section dedicated to an interview with me.  But I have to say, I can’t for the life of me figure out what it says….  I hear it’s all good…

Can’t wait to photograph weddings in Shanghai!!

great wedding this weekend with David Krumholtz, star of Numb3rs marrying Vanessa Britting, from The Young and the Restless and Without a Trace.

the celebrity filled bridal party (that’s Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel,  Gregg Bello and Martin Starr above) and guest list made things a bit interesting – i’m not really used to going on shoots in central park with a security detail and hiding in the rambles… but we love changing things up.

but i had sussed out well in advance that this hot dog vendor posed no threat…

and a great party – and one of my faves…  we all had a really great time working together.

many thanks to the multitalented (and even more importantly – fun to work with) Michelle Rago who did a great job planning the wedding.

more to come…

destination wedding photography at eden rock / st. barths – the wedding day…

this is how all good destination wedding receptions end.

In the mail today, I received a lovely Thank You note from Karen along with a copy of her latest book, “Simple Stunning Bride”.   In case you don’t know her,  Karen Bussen has authored quite a few of the most popular wedding books for brides. Her most recent – “Simple Stunning Bride” is chock full of helpful tips for planning one’s wedding day.

We’ve worked with Karen quite a few times and were delighted when we were asked to contribute to her latest book.

We have about a dozen of our images (including the back cover) featured and helped her update her section on photography tips as well.

If you’re not having a planner – or even if you are – it’s a great resource for inside hints and tips on prepping for the big day.  We encourage you to check it out!

i love it when dads get misty eyed…

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….

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…

I wanted to share another wonderful wedding shot by my Associates, Ron and Chris.

brie and aaron had a stunning wedding at the metropolitan club in manhattan.

and i thought the raw silk runner was a great match for the room…

such a cute couple.

decor was done by the wonderful and fun to work with David Beahm.  Check out the copper mirrored tabletops.

that image you see in the table above is the reflection from the ceiling’s trompe l’oil

clear glass chargers… brilliant.

the grand entrance

the first dance… soul street bringing everyone to the dance floor.

and then this amazing duo came out – Black Violin – wandering with wireless violins – cranking out some classical tunes until the hiphop dj joined in and the 3 of them rocked the house.  awesome!

and the self portrait studio once again was a huge hit with everyone.
