Published in Photo World Magazine (China)
I’m excited to say I was interviewed & published on 10 pages of Photo World Magazine in China this month. I just received a copy of the beautiful glossy magazine from China, and have scanned the pages to show here. I wish I could read what it says; can anyone out there translate?
A special thank you to Max Liang for the interview and for writing this piece for Photo World China!

Pooja & Harsh in the Dominican Republic – Part I
Pooja & Harsh’s Tropical Wedding
I'm back from a much needed holiday in Montreal & Tremblant, Canada where Chandler and I went skiing in powder snow amongst the pine trees and singing chickadees. It was a beautiful end to a busy busy 2009!
Today I'm starting the new year with a sequel to Pooja & Harsh's Dominican Republic wedding (which I shot in Nov 2009). Today they are having a party for local friends and family at the Midtown Loft in Manhattan.
Above is a collage of prints laid out on my table before showing the couple their prints and images from Punta Cana. I love how happy they looked in all of their photos and how much fun their wedding was! Congrats Pooja & Harsh and see you again tonight!!

Joya Products & Package Design by Oh Joy!
In December, I had the pleasure of photographing some beautiful new package designs by Oh Joy! Studio for Joya products, which are currently being sold at Anthropologie stores and online.
The Joya Reserve collection of candles, liquid soap, and body cream is composed of “modern interpretations of classic European scents from centuries past. The art direction and design was inspired by a mix of old and new with “time” being a running theme throughout.”
{All 3 of these products smell delightful! They were even able to lure over Oscar the cat to the photo shoot :}
Image of the Month: Cocktails at Blue Hill at Stone Barns
Happy New Year!
I chose this image for my Image of the Month for December, 2009.
It was made at a wedding I photographed in September at the fabulous Blue Hill at Stone Barns restaurant in Pocantico Hills, NY. I thought the bright, full glasses were appropriate as we celebrate and toast to a new decade ahead.

Thank you for your continued interest throughout the year. Here's to happiness, good health and prosperity in 2010!
Best wishes,

Marissa Mayer and Zack Bogue’s Wedding
Happy Holidays to all!
What a huge honor it was for me to photograph former Google Vice President, now Yahoo! CEO, Marissa Mayer and Zack Bogue’s wedding last weekend in San Francisco! It was a beautiful 3-day wedding, and an amazing experience for me to shoot it.
Here is one photo from Marissa and Zack’s magical winter-themed church ceremony, published in the San Francisco Chronicle.
As mentioned in the article, Marissa and Zack worked with Robert Fountain Productions to plan the event.
Marissa Mayer’s gowns were designed by Naeem Khan. (Khan was made famous by Michelle Obama wearing one of his beautiful gowns back in November, when the President and she met with India’s Prime Minister at the White House.)
Friday night venue was Bimbo’s 365, San Francisco with a surprise performance by the Killers!
Saturday night venue: Four Season’s Hotel, San Francisco.
Both venues (Bimbo’s 365 and Four Seasons) were splendidly styled by Robert Fountain.
Their cake design was by the fabulous Ron Ben-Israel. Funny enough, we had worked together remotely in NYC, but only formally met in San Francisco!
