I shoot a lot of weddings in Brooklyn and ReBar is one of my favorite venues. I met Jeff and Lydia when we did an engagement shoot last year, so I was already familiar with these guys when it came to the wedding day. They were calm and relaxed and the photos came out really natural. I had set up a photo booth in one of the other rooms so …continue…
In my line of work, there are two kinda of engaged couples — those who get eloped and those who talk about eloping. Vida and Ben actually did it. They traveled to New York City from Australia and on a cold February morning, we met up at the High Line where Rev. Annie Lawrence performed her magic. The ceremony was short and sweet. A few passerby stopped to watch and snap …continue…
I was back at the Brooklyn Winery – one of my favorite places to shoot in the neighborhood — to photograph my first wedding of 2013. Adrienne and Scott had a wonderful ceremony and reception there over MLK weekend. I shoot quite a bit of weddings at the Winery but haven’t done a proper recap since Suzie and Harold‘s wedding back in 2011. Since then, the venue has completed transformed …continue…
Sometimes I get booked for weddings over a year in advance, other time I get a text message a week before starting with “This is nutz…” In the case of Andrei and Deborah, it was the latter. “December 6th, you say? Lemme check my calendar to see if I’m available on that date next year.” “No, no! Not next year. Next WEEK! Are you free Thursday?” In fact, I was. …continue…

After a touching ceremony and photowalk at East River State Park in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Jose and Jessica joined their friends and family at the lovely Italian restaurant, Acqua Santa, a few blocks away. As a Williamsburg’er for the last 7 years, I’m ashamed to say that I had not visited this excellent restaurant before. Everyone sat in a beautiful lit garden area in the back with a retractable roof (!) in …continue…
Jose and Jessica picked the perfect day to get married in my hometown of Williamsburg, Brooklyn (Nice job, guys!). After a crazy storm the night before, the sun was out and East River State Park was full of merry ‘Burg-sters. There was action everywhere. The Smorgasburg food festival was in full swing. People were dipping their toes into Hipster Beach. Blankets with picnic baskets were spread out all across the …continue…
I’m about to embark on a big trip to Southeast Asia in a couple of weeks but before I took off, I wanted to recap a special wedding I photographed back in November. It was my final wedding of last year, a Sunday affair, and began at Anna and Jourdan’s apartment in Dumbo, Brooklyn. The ceremony was held on their fabulous rooftop overlooking both the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges, the …continue…
After a lovely cocktail hour and a delicious dinner at Juliette Restaurant, the wedding party swarmed the hipsterdom streets of Williamsburg to Larry Lawrence bar a few blocks away. There, we walked up to a traditional Indian mandap (covered structure with pillars) being raised. Brandy had mentioned they cost something like $2K just to RENT so she and her dad went ahead and built it themselves. We launched into a traditional …continue…
Brandy and Sudhir’s wedding in Brooklyn was so epic I couldn’t capture it in one blog post. I met Brandy at her apartment near McCarren Park in Williamsburg to take some shots of her getting ready with her girlfriends and family. The night before there was a raging rehearsal dinner / mendhi party complete with a band and bhangra dance lessons. The next day, the henna was looking especially vibrant …continue…
