This past weekend I shot Stephanie and John's wedding at Westbury Manor on Long Island. The ceremony and reception were during the day, which resulted in some nice natural light coming through the windows where the guestbook happened to be situated. I made this image of one of the wedding guests writing a note to the bride and groom using my 85 mm f/1.4 lens at an aperture of f/2.8 and exposure of 1/80th of a second at ISO 800.

This past weekend, I went to a gathering of my fiancé's college friends to celebrate what they call "Fake Thanksgiving." It is just like Thanksgiving but done on a Saturday and with friends rather than family. I caught this image of one of the celebrants and his son on Sunday morning shortly before we left. I made this image using my Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 lens at an aperture of f/1.4 and shutter speed of 1/800th of a second at ISO 1600.

I got to photograph my cousin Antonia's wedding at the Prospect Park Boathouse in Brooklyn, New York this past weekend. In this image Antonia's father and my uncle, Anton, flashes his trademark smile in conversation with his daughter just moments before they walked outside to the ceremony. I made this image using my Nikkor 135mm DC f/2.0. Exposure time was 1/125 at an aperture of f/2.0 and ISO 1600.

This past weekend I had the opportunity to photograph a wedding at OHEKA Castle in Huntington, NY. OHEKA is one of the premier wedding venues in the country and has many great spots for photography. My personal favorite is the part of the bridal suite featured in this image. The glass doors here open to a balcony that overlooks the ceremony area and and the formal garden behind it. I caught this image of the bridesmaids watching the guests arrive shortly before the ceremony. I made this image using my Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8 lens at a focal length of 14mm, aperture of f/2.8, shutter speed of 1/1600th of a sec, and ISO 800.

This past weekend I got to meet my friends Will and Caroline's first child on what was just the sixth day of his life. Naturally, I took a few pictures of the little guy. This image was made using my Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 micro lens at an aperture of f/3.2 and shutter speed of 1/500th of a second at ISO 800.
