Jackson & Kasey

I was fortunate enough to meet & photograph two of the cutest, and most well-behaved twin boys a couple of weeks ago - Jackson and Kasey! I met their Mom and Dad, Tara & Kyle, when they were guests at Jessica & Steve's wedding in August - Kyle was the best man. We had a ton of fun in Prospect Park in Brooklyn. Oh and their Aunt was in the process of making them Elvis Presley costumes for Halloween, complete with Elvis glasses (which will explain the last photo!).











Jessica & Steve

Jessica and Steve were married at the Prospect Park Picnic House in Brooklyn. Their ceremony, performed by Reverend Mary Jane Weiss, was held just outside the Picnic House on the South Lawn of the park. The morning brought heavy rain and thunder, so we weren't sure if the ceremony was going to be outside. But by the afternoon, the sun peaked out and stayed out. All the finger crossing actually worked! One of the coolest details of their day was the bluegrass band, who played the music for both the ceremony and reception. There was spoon, washboard and even saw playing involved. The band was amazing!

Check out the details from their day...

Jessica's fabulous hair and makeup were done by the Beehive Salon in Brooklyn.
The amazingly yummy cakes were from Baked NYC.
Flowers by Sarah at Saipua.
Their fantastic bluegrass band - M Shanghai String Band.



Thanks so much to Jayd Gardina, who shot with me all day and took the beautiful ring shot you see above.

There were so many great moments from the day, I had a hard time narrowing them down for the slideshow. Check it out:



Congratulations Jessica and Steve!!

Vicki & Michael, 4.21.08

Saturday turned out to be a gorgeous day for Vicki & Michael's wedding. I met up with Michael & his best man, Bobby, who also happens to be his brother, at The Ravel Hotel in Long Island City. After hanging with them for an hour, we were on our way to St. Cecilia's Church in Brooklyn. The church & ceremony were both beautiful. Then we were off to The Foundry in Long Island City to party! It was such a fun day! Congratulations Vicki & Michael! And thanks to the talented Jennifer Davis for having me along.

Laura & Jason, 3.22.08

Laura and Jason took the plunge! After I met them and their family & friends at their apartment, our first stop was Brooklyn Bridge Park for portraits, but with the wind and close to freezing temperatures, none of us lasted too long. But Laura was a trooper and we managed to grab a few shots before running for shelter! The ceremony & reception were both held at Giando on the Water in Williamsburg Brooklyn with an amazing view of the city! Many thanks to the amazing Jayd Gardina who shot alongside me all day!

Check out the slideshow!

Margaret and Stephen, 3.24.07

Saturday I had another adventure with wedding photographer, Jennifer Davis. I was assisting her on Margaret & Stephen's wedding. The ceremony was held in a beautiful church, St. Francis Xavier in the Park Slope area of Brooklyn.

Before the ceremony, Jennifer and I spent time with the bride as she got ready.

That's the bride's mother, Bozena, on the left and the make-up/hairstylist on the right.



Jennifer took the bride, her mother and her maid of honor outside to do some portraits, while I hustled on to the church with most of the equipment and the men's boutonniere's... I got there while the florist was still setting up the flowers.









Here are some shots of the ceremony.






This little boy was so adorable. He was flipping through one of his books the entire ceremony!


Jen did some group photos outside of the church. There was one big one where all the guests crowded onto the church's front steps. And she did a few with the bride and groom and their immediate family.



Then we were on to the next stop -- the reception! Everyone took cars into Tribeca to a restaurant called Bouley.



The boxes of chocolate that each guest received.














Here the bride and groom make the rounds to speak to all their guests...












The bride and groom are wonderful people, so friendly and caring. I wish them the best in their marriage and the journey life will take them on.
