Devan & John stopped by today to go over the final plans for their upcoming wedding at Patriot Hills. After dotting all the “i”s and crossing all the “t”s we went into the studio for an engagement session.

We are looking forward to photographing their wedding!

 What a wonderful day! Yes a Thursday wedding with a very wonderful couple – Makiko & Bruce. We were on the rooftop terrace of the Kitano Hotel on Park Avenue in midtown Manhattan. The lovely cuople were surrounded by many friends and a very loving family. The toast were many and were filled with much love and good wishes for the happy couple.

 To Bruce & Makiko – much happiness, lots of love and a lifetime of smiles for both of you from both myself & Alistair. Thank you for letting us peek in on your special day.

For the last few days I have been out of the office covering a dance recital for Miss Janalee’s School of Dance. The annual recital was today and it was, as always, very entertaining.

I had fun today. It never ceases to amaze me how much work goes into this one day, and how hard everyone works to get there. Congratulations on a job well done!

We celebrate with Megan & Jeremy at Round Hill House today. A very special bride and her just as wonderful groom exchanged their vows in front of family & friends. Her gorgeous flowers were from Flowers by David Anthony in Monroe.

We wish this couple much happiness and love.

On the beach! Today, we found ourselves on the beach in the sand shooting Marc & Chloe. The sun was just right, our couple was game, it was a little chilly but all in all everything was perfect!

We are looking forward to Marc & Chloe’s wedding at the Belvedere Mansion later on this year. Chloe even said something about getting in a boat!!!!

We spent some time with Jenny & Paul in Central Park today. The shoot didn’t seem like it was going to happen since the skies had opened up twice in the hour before we started shooting. But the sun managed to peak out just in time. We even had some local entertainment durning our shoot.

We are looking forward to Jenny & Paul’s wedding at the Tribeca Rooftop later this year!

When Robin came in with her boys for communion portraits, I was hoping that she would want to jump into the act too. I have known Robin for nine years, which has passed very quickly, and know how all of her boys mean so very much to her, and it shows. She’s probably going to yell at me since this is a surprise for Father’s Day, but I had to share.

So sshhhhhh! Don’t tell anyone!!!

I had planned to take the day off to clean out my closet and taking inventory of my shoes. I was actually looking forward to it, well not the cleaning part.

But instead of cleaning, which I think I owe a big thanks to Angelica for that, I helped out a friend by second shooting on a wedding. I shot for Angelica Glass of Angelica Glass Photography and we had a good time shooting & talking about lenses, grain & camera stuff. It is funny how two photographers can drool over a lens most people have probably never heard of.

The wedding was really wonderful and the day was perfect. My best wishes to Jillian & Joe for a very long & happy life together.

We spent sometime with Marlee getting some shots for her upcoming Bat Mitzvah. She was a blast to work with. Marlee is a natural, as one can see, and was quick to throw out ideas for shots, not to mention was a really good sport when we asked her to climb a tree too!!

We are looking forward to working with her & her family again for her Bat Mitzvah ceremony & celebration!
