SubscribeI photographed Lisa and Paul in the village of Bay Head on the Jersey shore.
After a day of scattered thundershowers and dark sky we really lucked out with beautiful soft light and blue skies in the evening.
We took advantage of the lovely beach town and the ocean and created some beautiful portraits of Lisa and Paul. They are such a fun couple and I am really looking forward to their wedding in September.
Thank you for the delicious fresh crumbcake guys! (I really do have the best couples!!)
I am so happy and proud.
I was jumping up and down when I got the e-mail that I was accepted to be a member of the Wedding Photojournalist Association (www.wpja.com).
It is a great professional association to belong to and only 5% of all photographers who apply get in.
It is fantastic to be part of an international group of amazing documentary wedding photographers.

I photographed Michele and John’s wedding on Long Island with the talented Susan Francy.
The couple tied the knot in Babylon, in the beautiful Saint Joseph Church. After the ceremony, the happy couple and their guests headed over to the Bellport Country Club. It was a gorgeous setting for a wedding celebration.
Michele and John had a great bridal party; they were having fun and cracking jokes all day. It was really hard for me to keep a straight face at times.
Here are some of my favorite images of their special day.
Lisa and Michael got married in Manhattan on July 1st.
Lisa got ready at the Inn at Irving Place, a beautiful and charming bed and breakfast.
Lisa’s exquisite Oscar de la Renta wedding gown was absolutely breathtaking and she looked amazing in it.
Lisa and Michael said “I DO” in the Church of the Epiphany.
After the ceremony we headed to a nearby park for some portraits.
Lisa and her friends went for a quick stroll. I was very impressed how well Lisa walked and danced in her Christian Louboutin shoes all day.
At Candela restaurant, just off of Union Square, friends and families of Lisa and Michael enjoyed the coctail hour and reception. Candela was lit by hundreds of candles and was a very romantic setting for a wedding reception. Jessica and Richard of Candela’s did an awesome job with the reception.
The newlyweds’ first dance.
Lisa was dancing with her father.
Michael and Lisa really enjoyed the heartfelt toasts by the best man and close friends.
David from Expressway Music was the DJ and he kept providing a great mix of tunes all night.
Thank you Michael and Lisa for letting me share this very special day and celebration with you.
I hope you are having an awesome time in Italy!
Would like to see more? Here’s a slideshow. Enjoy.
Julie and John invited us over for a 4th of July party and to watch the fireworks. Julie’s apartment overlooks the East River and midtown Manhattan and it’s the perfect place to watch the Macy’s 4th of July fireworks from.
Julie and John prepared a delicious array of dishes and they get a huge bonus point for the 5 different desserts which I had to sample all. 
Here are a few images of the absolutely amazing fireworks tonight.
Thank you for having us Julie and John!!!
