The Wedding of Jacqueline and Jeremy at The Stone House at Stirling Ridge

I don't think I've seen a groom all summer who was as completely and totally in awe of his wife as Jeremy. The happiness in his face when he saw her for the first time was really touching and once again, one of those things that remind me why I enjoy doing this so much. Jaqueline and Jeremy's wedding at the Stone House at Stirling Ridge was a really wonderful affair and I'm so happy to have been a part of it. Thanks again!

Meghan and Jack's Saint Francis Xavier / NYU Rosenthal Pavilion Wedding

Wow. Meghan and Jack had the perfect wedding. The two of them have been planning their dream New York wedding from down south, and being someone who involved with planning their own long distance wedding, I have to say they really killed it. What a great day. Beautiful church in Saint Francis Xavier and Breathtaking views from the 10th floor of NYU's Rosenthal Pavilion. Great couple, great friends, great day. Thanks for letting me be part of it.

Somewhere Under the Rainbow in the Meatpacking District

 

Michelle, Eric and I were trying for a week to get together to do this engagement shoot but it seemed every time we set up to shoot, rain was forecast. After several rounds of rescheduling and with a shaky forecast at best... we went for it. As I showed up to meet the two at Eric's Pier 57 coffee shop, Cold Process, the sky opened up and a downpour of biblical proportions started. It only lasted a few minutes though, and I had a feeling wet streets could make for a shiny, different kind of look for the photos we set out to do. We went on with it. We started out all around Pier 57 (a fantastic place by the way) and while we were on the back of the pier a gigantic, colorful rainbow appeared in the skies over Lower Manhattan. I've really never seen one like it. It was amazing. After the lucky rainbow, we traveled around the meatpacking district trying to create photos with the feel of "a night out." A great night out it was indeed. Congrats again guys! See you at the wedding.
