Giandomenico-Leon Wedding Slideshow

Here are some images from Maria and Carlos' Wedding at the Shrine Church of St. Anthony of Padua and reception at Battery Gardens in New York City. This was a fun wedding to be a part of and it was a pleasure getting to know Maria and Carlos and their friends and family.

Photo of the Week 7/7/14

Again, I have gotten busy and lapsed on posting a photo of the week for some time and I hope this image makes up for that. I caught this image of lightning striking the Freedom Tower in Manhattan from the roof of my building in Brooklyn on the evening of July 6, 2014. This was taken with my Nikkor 14-24mm lens at a focal length of 14mm with a 2 second exposure at an aperture of f/3.5 and ISO 100.

Gandy-Fischbein Wedding Slideshow

Here is a slideshow of images from Koma and Lewis' Wedding. I met Koma a number of years ago at business school and had an instant bond with her when I learned that she played rugby. So, it came as no surprise when I learned that she was engaged to someone she met through the same game. It was a honor to photograph Koma and Lewis' Wedding and a lot of fun as well!

Cohen-Conan Wedding Slideshow

Here are some images from Michelle and Jesse's Wedding at the Manhattan Penthouse in New York City. This was an especially fun wedding for me as there were a few guests at this one who were also present at the wedding I shot in New Orleans last year and it is always nice to see people a second time. It was a beautiful night with a great couple and as always a lot of fun to photograph!

Johnson-Bernoff Wedding Slideshow

Here is a slideshow of images from Kamille and Stuart's wedding and reception at Manhattan Penthouse in New York City. This day started out very quietly with just the bride, a hair stylist and the couple's dog. The energy level picked up when when all the bridesmaids and others from the bride's family arrived including a well dressed complement of kids arrived. From that point on, it was a festive celebration of the couple and their special day.

Li-Hurley Wedding Slideshow

Here are some images from Tong and Doug's rehearsal dinner and wedding day. The rehearsal dinner was held on a terrace at the couple's apartment building in Manhattan. The wedding day started with the couple getting ready at their apartment followed by visiting Central Park for some pictures and then to the Lexington Yacht for the wedding ceremony and reception. The yacht sailed around Manhattan under the recent supermoon, an unusually bright  and large full moon. It was a great day and wonderful evening and I want to express my gratitude to the couple and their guests for being so great to work with, particularly my incredibly helpful unofficial assistant Stephen.

Rooney-Maletta Wedding Slideshow

Here are some of my favorite images from Kelly and Rob's wedding at St. Joseph's Church in New York City and reception at Crest Hollow Country Club in Woodbury, NY. Most weddings are a bit of an adventure and this was no exception, especially when the couple's beloved dog executed a clever plan to secure an unplanned mid-day visit from the bride and groom, apparently to see them all dressed up.

Vesely-Saletnik Wedding Slideshow

Here are a few of my favorite images from Jaron & Josh's Wedding on January 27th at reBar in Brooklyn, NY. This was a great wedding to start the 2013 season with and a really creative and original ceremony.

Seter-Elliott Wedding Slideshow

Here are a few of my favorite images from Colette and Brenton's Wedding at St. Vartan Armenian Cathedral in Manhattan, NY and reception at the Crest Hollow Country Club on Long Island. It was a lot of fun getting to know this couple and seeing them together on their wedding day! There were a lot of special moments throughout the day and it was an honor to be able to capture a few of them.

Senese-Barbanti Wedding Slideshow

Here are some of my favorite images for Kristen and Derek's Wedding at Remi in New York City. We also got to take some photos in DUMBO in Brooklyn, NY prior to the ceremony. It was a bit of adventure with a little rain (just enough be lucky I like to think) and a little extra traffic on the way back but everything went smoothly and it was a great day for the couple and all their guests.

Kim-Cowan Wedding Slideshow

Here are a few of my favorite images from Michelle and Andrew's Wedding at the Midtown Loft and Terrace in Manhattan. This wedding had a rooftop ceremony with fantastic views of the city, two very animated ring bearers, and a couple of astrophysicists who answered a few of my black hole questions but left me with many more. And that is just a couple notable elements from the day!

Chin-de Csepel Wedding Slideshow

Here are some of the images from Kelly and John's Wedding at St. Charles Borromeo Church in Brooklyn Heights and reception at Bubby's in DUMBO. This was a fun wedding that took us all over Brooklyn and offered some really neat scenery. Having an adventurous and expressive couple was a great plus as well.

Photo of the Week 05/21/12

The other day I had a rare opportunity to just take pictures with no assignment. This was one of the pictures I took of the Brooklyn Bridge. I made this image using my Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 VR II lens at a focal length of 130mm, an aperture of f/4.0, and 1/640th of a second at ISO 100.

Photo of the Week 6/13/11

I did an engagement session this past weekend for a very nice couple from New York City. We went to one of my favorite New York City locations, the High Line Park. This park is built on what was a freight railway and winds its way between the buildings on the West Side of New York City. This photo was taken at one section of the park where the railway runs under one of the buildings. I made this image with my Nikkor 135mm f/2.0 DC lens at an aperture of f/2.8, exposure of 1/400th of a second, and ISO 125.

Batchelor-Davis Day-After Shoot Preview Slideshow

I did a day-after wedding shoot for Lindsey & Bobby, a wonderful couple that came out from Wisconsin to get married on Long Island. We did the day-after shoot so they could get some pictures in the city as well. Here are a few of my favorite pictures from my session.

Photo of the Week 12/6/10

A while back, I photographed the wedding of Tara and Russ. The reception was at Liberty House in New Jersey so we took some formals on the water in front of the New York City Skyline. Our timing really worked out well as we caught the last of the day's light as the lights from the city started to appear. I made this image using my Nikor 50mm f/1.4 lens at an aperture of f/2.0 and exposure of 1/100 of a second at ISO 800.

Photo of the Week 11/8/10

A few days ago on the way out of the city, I stopped to take a few quick pictures of the Verrazano Bridge at sunset. This image was made using my Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8 lens at a focal length of 22mm, an aperture of f/8.0, exposure of 1/30th of a second, and ISO 100.

Photo of the Week 10/25/10

I often drive across several bridges that offer a great view of New York City, particularly in the evening. This week I was crossing the Throgs Neck Bridge with this beautiful sunset off to my left. I happened to have my camera with me and snapped a quick picture. I used my Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 lens since that was what was on my camera, an aperture of f/2.2, and a shutter speed of 1/1600th of a second at ISO 400.
