Latest Work

Megan & Mike ..

December 21, 2009

Megan and Mike was so much fun to work with – an energetic and sexy couple. And who doesn’t love a bride that knows how to move and play for the camera!

.
Megan’s hair looked exceptional with this modern retro styling.  Very fashionable!

.
The church ceremony was at the impressive St George’s Orthodox Chutrch in Clifton (NJ),  Mark is of Romanian descent, hence the ceremony was an Orthodox Christian one, with all the beautiful rituals that is part of that.

.
We had rained out in the afternoon, and had to do all the portraits inside.  But later the evening when we did a few more romantic portraits at the Valley Regency, we were able to slip outside since the rain had cleared.  The lights in the gardens always work as a great backdrop.

As I said, they know how to move on the dancefloor!

Always a tender moment – the bride dancing with her dad ..

The Perinita was one of the traditional dances the guests took part in, inviting different partners into the vibrant dance sequence.

Megan & Mike – congratulations on getting married.  Stay in touch.

Lisa & Kelly ..

December 2, 2009

I recently had the pleasure of photographing a destination wedding in Florida.  But not only was this a destination wedding, this also happened to be the first time that I photographed a same-sex couple and their wedding.   And I felt particularly honoured that Lisa and Kelly placed so much faith placed in me with a special event like this.

The photo at the top is  my favourite image of the day, in that it shows this wonderful couple together in a spontaneous moment.  It is  very much *them*, and I am sure their friends and family will instantly recognize this image as capturing the essence of who they are, and how they are.

 A very touching moment during the ceremony –  Lisa reaching over to her sister, Kristin, when Kristin couldn’t hold back her tears anymore during the reading.

 After the ceremony we had some time for the romantic portrait sessions.

.
The preparation, ceremony and intimate reception were all held  at the Sundy House in Delray Beach, FL.

.
The entire day was an emotional experience for everyone, and the toast from Lisa’s dad during the reception was no different.

.
Afterwards we went for a photo session on the beach.   Even though the late afternoon light was just perfect, the wind was gusty.  But we did get some beautiful photographs of Lisa and Kelly together.

Lisa and Kelly .. thank you for having there as part of your wedding day.

Milene & Don ..

November 29, 2009

Milene and Don wedding day took place on a crisp Fall day.  Milene has a beautiful graceful elegance about her and Don has a wonderful laid back demeanor .. all of which translates into some very elegant  photos.  But don’t let that fool you. The two of them still know how to have a lot of fun ..

From earlier in the day during Milene’s preparation -  best friends ..

The image above was taken by Stephanie Zettl, a St Louis wedding photographer, who worked with me on the day.

This imposing cathedral makes for a dramatic setting for Milene and Don’s wedding ceremony .. but also makes for a beautiful backdrop for a few romantic portraits afterwards.

Merisa & Sam ..

November 28, 2009

Merisa and Sam were another couple who was just so much fun to work with!  The photo session started at the apartments where they origally met a few years back, and from there we went to Skylands Manor to grab the last bit of Fall colour still to be seen.

Merisa and Sam, see you in a few weeks again at your wedding.

Rowena and Jared’s wedding

November 14, 2009

Rowena and Jared – wedding at The Manor, NJ

Rowena had a specific vision for her wedding day, with a retro styling.  Combined with lovely soft light, the beautiful gardens at the venue … and with the two of them playing around for the camera, it made the photography so much more exciting.

.
Two of my favourite images of the day are these classic portraits of Rowena just after preparation.  The interestingly patterned wallpaper (and sweet light), just enhanced the beautiful hat that Rowena wore.

Before the ceremony, time for fun with the portraits of the bridal party and the couple ..

I love Jared’s expression here, cleaning up after having cake smashed into his face.
(Oh, and he was a guilty party too.)

Rowena and Jared, congratulations!
