I am happy to announce that one of my lovely couples Dawn and Derrin is having their wedding featured on Essence.com If you click on the link you can view some of the images from their fabulous wedding and learn more about the couple and their incredible story. Their wedding was as incredible as their story. Dawn and Derrin tied the knot with a traditional ceremony at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Englewood, New Jersey, followed by a lavish soiree in North Bergen. Dawn and Derrin are fashion forward and were stylin at their wedding. The Bride wore Christian Louboutin shoes and the groom wore Prada shoes. I’m saying how can I be down. The wedding reception was held at the Waterside right on the waterfront with it’s spectacular views of the NYC skyline. The party was insane and so much fun. Please stay tuned for images on the blog!

Karen and Peter had a small ceremony in Central Park with a couple of witnesses. It was sweet yet fun and exciting. They had an excellent day even though it was a little windy but it was no match for their love and commitment. Thank you for letting me document such an intimate and precious moment.

It was the first weekend in November and you would have never known. It was a beautiful fall day. Clear, crisp and gorgeous blue sky that’s what Pamela and Stephen dialed up for their wedding day. Glen Island Harbour was the backdrop where the ceremony and reception took place. Pam and Stephen decided to see each other before the ceremony because they wanted to maximize their photo session and also enjoy the cocktail hour right after the ceremony. For those considering the Glen Island Harbour there is the coolest Castle near the venue that is great for photos and if you’re up for something different and unique. It was perfect! Pamela looked gorgeous and Stephen looked sharp. The bridal party was fun and engaged what more could I ask for. Pamela was a gamer and she wanted to do it all. I also thought her purple shoes were cool!  The couple was truly in the moment and enjoyed their wedding day to  the fullest. Also wanted to thank Alex for shooting with me on this one.

Thank you for a wonderful time. You guys were absolutely awesome and I wish you both years of happiness!

This one of those rocking weddings from beginning to end. Non stop action throughout the wedding day. It was a beautiful day full of sunshine and of course the Tesha and Michael were awesome and great. They were into it from go. One of the sexier and intimate portrait sessions ever. These guys were game for anything and the images I was able to capture gave me chills. I loved it! The reception was non stop and I don’t think there was anyone sitting down for two seconds. However, as great as Tesha and Michael were it was their son who stole the show. Probably the most adorable ringbrearer.

Congrats to you guys! You ahve a wonderful son and you guys are awesome.

Alyse and Klein had a beautiful wedding with a wonderful setting at the Rowsley Estate in Westchester, NY. The ceremony was outdoors and the fall colors and leaves was a great backdrop for the ceremony. It was a fabulous affair and the couple really showed how much in love they were. I have to admit as well, I am a big fan of parasols at weddings. Ladies take note they are lots of fun and make for awesome photos.

Guys thank you for a wonderful time. Congrats to you both and many years of love and happiness!

It was raining and pouring and the old man was NOT snoring. The weather might have been bad but everything else was oh so good. Domenica and Patrick had the wedding of their lives. Domenica looked absolutely stunning and her details were insane. Patrick looked very GQ and held his own. The reception was great. These two were in love and living it up. It was a pleasure to be a part of this wedding. The reception was in Greenwich, CT at the Burning Tree Country Club. Domenica did an outstanding job with her details at the venue. Everything was so well done and put together.

Guys congrats to you both. You were superstars and I had so much fun with you guys.

One of the reasons, I love what I do and there are many is when couples make it there own. I love unique things at weddings and it can be anything. Doreen and Nelson got themselves an old school checker cab and we went out and had some fun with it. In speaking with driver we learned that the cab is quite famous and has appeared in many movies. So many that i lost track! It was great to see the both of them ham it up and have a good time. The ceremony and reception took place at the Water’s Edge. It was a small and intimate affair. Doreen had a beautiful vintage type dress and she got ready at the Ravell which is an awesome boutique hotel in Queens right over the Queensboro Bridge. The day started out with a little rain but then the clouds parted and the weather warmed up and off we were with no holds bars. The party was like being in a Latin night club in NYC. There was salsa, merengue and everything else Latin. It was a blast. Also, want to thank me partner in crime Alex for shooting with me.

Doreen and Nelson thanks for an awesome time. We had a blast and I think you did too. See you after the honeymoon!  Congrats!

Christine and Shin had a picture perfect wedding at an awesome venue. The had the ceremony and reception at Addison Park. It was my first time and it was great. They saw each other before the ceremony which was great because it gave us plenty of time to get all the photos done and then they could enjoy their cocktail hour after the ceremony. Christine looked fabulous and her dress fit like a glove. Shin didn’t look bad either. The two of them were visible in love and it showed up in the photos. They were awesome to work with.

Christine and Shin many congrats to the two of you. Hope you enjoy your honeymoon!

My beautiful wife and I married in the fall and we loved it, that being said I am a big fan of fall weddings. It’s that that time of the year now and the weddings look beautiful. Mia and Michael had what I think was a beautiful fall classic. Their wedding was elegant and timeless. The venue was also elegant and classic. The ceremony and reception were held at the Tappan Hill Mansion in Tarrytown, NY which is part of the Abigail Kirschfamily of venues. So, you know the food was crazy good and yummy! Mia looked gorgeous and her dress was stunning it fit like a glove. Michael looked smooth. The bridal party was fun and lively just how I like’em. One of my favorite moments was right before and after Michael first saw Mia. His expression was priceless. Mia and Michael have a very special connection and that was witnessed by all when they read their own wedding vows to each other. There wasn’t a dry eye in the crowd. The ceremony was outdoors and took place right before the sunset as a photographer that is what we call “Golden Light” and it is just beautiful light to work with. The reception and food was equally as good and the details were on point. I had a blast as always and I think Michelle who shot with me had a good time as well. Thanks Michelle!

Mia and Michael you are a beautiful couple and I wish you guys nothing but happiness. Congrats!
