Danielle & Ian were married at Capitale, one of the most dramatic event venues in New York City. A former bank, Capitale's ornate interiors, complete with really interesting original art, provide such an amazing backdrop for photography. Danielle and Ian's style, somewhat reminiscent of the Old World (don't they look like movie stars from a few decades ago?) was such an inspiration to me and my amazing second shooter Nadine! Selection of images from us both below. We were assisted by Jessica Badgley, a student at SVA, and a couple of her images are below as well.

Cara and Brendan are getting married next October and I am already excited for their wedding. These two are so genuine with an awesome sense of humor. 
We shot their engagement session in style- got picked up and driven around in a luxury vehicle with had champagne and all!
Our first stop was the Phillies Stadium in Philadelphia. Cara and Brendan revealed to me that Brendan was not so keen on the engagement session photo shoot idea at first, but I guess having it at his favorite stadium sweetened the deal. 
Next, my two wonderful models braved the streets of Italian Market in Philly. Enjoy some images below!

Kathy and Sam are such an incredible couple, and so much fun to work with- we got to shoot their engagement session in the drizzly rain- and they braved it looking fantastic. On their wedding day Nadine and I asked them to walk in the horse stables, and climb on wine barrels, and they did not flinch. Their beautiful wedding reception took place at the Laurita Winery in New Egypt, NJ. May their love be like a good wine!

Gry is a coach to business women around in Norway and beyond. While visiting New York City for a Rich Happy & Hot conference by Marie Forleo , she got together with me for a portrait session. She's so wonderful, spirited, inspiring and fun to be around.. and her positive energy is so contagious!  : )
Gry's natural beauty was enhanced by a minimal make up by my amazing friend and a top NY make up artist Laura Nadeau.

For better or for worse, weddings keep me insanely busy, so I only get a chance to do a very limited number of family portraits.. A couple of weeks ago, on a perfect October day I got together with my lovely past wedding couple Amber and Mark, and their gorgeous girl Mia.This was my favorite image!
