Ali + Keats Wedding–Sneak Peek–NY, NY

Ali and Keats were married one week ago and it was a blast to photograph! Ali is the most thoughtful bride who thinks of everything, from custom champagne glasses and jewelry for her bridesmaids to surprising her new groom by hiring a painter to paint their reception as it occurred. Keats looked dapper in his tuxedo, beamed at Ali the whole day, and gave an impressive and heartfelt welcome toast at the reception. Their wedding party of 8 bridesmaids and 10 groomsmen were so much fun and we had lots of laughs as I made them “walk casually and look at each other!” The gorgeous color palette of pink and gold was brought to life by Renny & Reed.

The bride got ready at the Lotte New York Palace Hotel in midtown, where I recorded a tearful and moving first look and took family formals in the gorgeous brownstone courtyard, then proceeded to their ceremony at the stunning St. Vincent Ferrer Church on the Upper East Side (also where the groom’s parents and grandparents were married!), and ended with a GORGEOUS reception at 620 Loft and Garden above Rockefeller Center. We were all safely tucked inside for dinner and dancing before Hurricane Henri arrived with gusto and turned 5th Avenue into a rushing river!

I have SO much more to share on this amazing day, all planned and executed by the event guru Nancy Harris Events, but for now…here are a few! Congrats Ali and Keats!

Sunset Portraits at Quidnet, Nantucket, MA

Sometimes when I meet a new client with young children, they confess to me that they dread taking family photos because the photographer can’t keep their kids attention, the session seems to drag on, and what to dress everyone in is stressful. I smile because I know I can give them a better experience. My entire goal is to make it easier and less painful for them…and I aim to make it fun for all no matter how big the challenge. So many families walk away from our photo session both surprised and relieved that is was fun and their kids enjoyed it.

For this session in Quidnet, we kept it lively for three athletic boys. While they did some formally posed photos at the beginning (with the swoon worthy hydrangeas), we also spent time on their swing set, running on the beach, and digging in the sand. It was a gorgeous night–even after a few sprinkles, we lucked out with a beautiful sunset. I almost always try to get a portrait of the parents, who are never in photos themselves! As we ended, their mom said “wow, that was sooo much easier than we thought it would be, I think the boys actually had fun!” Mission accomplished! Thanks for all of the fun and smiles!

Tara + Joe–Montauk Club Wedding–Brooklyn, NY

Ahhh to go back to February 1, 2020. Remember large rooms filled with friends, laughter, music, and clinking cocktail glasses? Cheerful toasts and sweaty fun dance floors with a newly married couple dancing in the center of a cheering circle? Man I miss those.

Last February I had the great honor of photographing Tara and Joe’s wedding party at The Montauk Club in Brooklyn. It had all of these components and more–boss bridal shoes, that GOLD DRESS, the amazing DJ Milk Money, and lots of hot dancing. Tara and I used to work together in NYC historic preservation so it was no surprise that her wedding reception was held in a gorgeous historic building in Park Slope, Brooklyn. The landmark building was created in 1889 for a social club. Its design was inspired by a Palazzo in Venice, and the facade has an exquisite amount of detail. Isn’t this such a beautiful place for a wedding reception?

It was an awesome night, one that seems so hard to believe was just a year ago. T and J, happy wedding party anniversary! Thanks for choosing me to document the night. Until I can again stand on chairs to capture bumping dance floors, I’ll live on through these photos. Cheers!
