My Favorite Florals…

Many have asked, “May we see your favorite bouquets?” Or, “Please send over your best flowers images.” Well, it’s not so easy! I’ve shot many beautiful flowers arrangements over the years, and where would I begin? Instead, today I decided to upload some of my favourite florals to my blog. I hope to keep adding to this post, as a way to organize and display them.

Indian Spring

The sun is shining and the temps are increasing. Slightly. Could Spring finally have sprung in NYC? In honor of this possibility, I’m posting these bright, festive Indian wedding images which I photographed a few springs ago in Delhi and Udaipur, India. It was Spring in India, Indian Spring.

Inspired by the Past

Some of my favorite photographs I made years ago. Kelly and Naoki were my very first wedding clients in the late 90’s. Kelly was a Brooklyn friend, and an ex-roommate from RISD. There she met Naoki, while studying in the Architecture department.

The couple asked me to shoot their wedding primarily with black and white film, in the way that Kelly saw me shoot my family portraits at RISD.

I knew very little about the rituals of weddings, having attended only my uncle’s very small re-marriage ceremony. One thing I did know was how to make a memorable image.
Thanks to Naoki and Kelly, for having faith in me and to being such beautiful and open-minded subjects. I love their wedding images.

Dorothy and Michael’s San Francisco E-Shoot…

Although they live a bit south and east of San Francisco, Dorothy and Michael drove up to meet me in SF the day after a wedding shoot. I discovered the city through my lens as they brought me to The Presidio, to Baker Beach overlooking The Golden Gate Bridge, and to The Legion of Honor, an architecturally beautiful museum of ancient and European art surrounded by views of the Pacific, SF valleys and many redwood trees. I got to know this cute couple through photographing them, which is a good thing as I’ll also be shooting their wedding in Austin, Texas this October! (Dorothy is from Austin, and they met there at The University of Texas a few years back.)
