That’s when Lindsay, Kelly and I hosted what is sure to be the first of many rooftop shows at our apartment in Brooklyn, New York. Many thanks to all who attended and especially to the night’s many talented performers. The awesome lineup [...]

Elton and Min-Ja’s Engagement in Dumbo, Brooklyn

TB Brooklyn Wedding Photography — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 04:45:48 +0000

I’ve always wanted to do a photo shoot in Dumbo. I love the cobblestones, the exposed brick and graffiti, and of course the awe-inspiring Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges. It all goes to make Dumbo a classic Brooklyn neighborhood. So when Elton and Min-Ja approached me for an engagement shoot, I couldn’t help but make the [...]

Meet You At the Sugar Shack

TB Brooklyn Wedding Photography — Fri, 15 Oct 2010 14:35:07 +0000

Undisclosed location in the Green Mountains of Vermont. It’s not often that you can live the (quote) Time of Your Life (unquote) and still realize it. But take 10 friends, 2 dalmatians and 1 sweet sugar shack (pun absolutely indeed) and both feats are easily accomplished. Oh and whiskey. Copious and mountainous amounts of whiskey. [...]

New Year’s at the Farm

The perfect cap to the best year to date. Happy 2010, everyone! Location: Sycamore Plow (AKA The Frye Family Farm). 2 hours outside St. Louis, Missouri. 26-lbs turkey in the ground. 5-and-a-half hours later. This New Year’s Eve coincided with the 2nd full-moon of the month. Blue moon!

Dinner With Greeks

I realize I’ve strayed from the “travel” part of my blog, but I shall return to form after my South Africa trip in November. Meanwhile, I’ve been practicing my portrait-taking abilities at dinner parties in the neighborhood.

Dinner With Friends in Brooklyn

TB Brooklyn Wedding Photography — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 15:00:13 +0000

I live for a good dinner party. So when Emily suggested a cookout with our blogging-minded friends, I jumped at the opportunity. But the "North Brooklyn Bloggers Banquet" would not be a spectator event, I was alerted. Each participant would either cook or assist in the preparation of a dish and then publish their experiences in a blog post. So, with my camera and a curried squash soup in tow, I joined the group at Liz and Joe's lovely apartment in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. There, I found a kitchen full of delicious aromas and Sunday conversations. Beans and corn were being shucked, avocados expertly peeled. Breads and tarts came in and out of a very busy oven. Someone plopped a case of PBR into a bucket of ice. All the while, Kenan, inconspicuous sketched portraits on a simple notepad and Jake screwed on his brand new 50mm 1.2 lens to his 5D Mark II (jealous!). I helped myself to some delicious rosé from the fridge and then got down to work. And by "work" I mean snapping tipsy shots, sampling sliced tomatoes from the balcony-garden, refilling my glass one more time. A quick thunderstorm. Some strong sun. Occasionally, we took our drinks to the balcony where a hammock was stretched and looked down at the garden below.

Daytrip: My Borough, Explored

TB Brooklyn Wedding Photography — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 11:46:37 +0000

Take Flatbush Avenue to the end of Brooklyn. Watch passing signs for Avenues U and V. Kings Plaza Mall is as massive and 1970s as the Death Star. Some place called Nick’s Lobster House next to Gerritsen Creek. (Why would anyone want to eat lobsters near a creek?) A golf course. Cross Marine Parkway Bridge. [...]
