Some of my favorite photographs from a wedding weekend aren’t taken at the wedding. They happen at the gatherings around it, when nobody is watching a timeline and everyone is simply glad to be in one room. That was the mood on Saturday, October 17, 2026, when Evan and Elizabeth’s family and friends gathered for […]

Joe’s Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 6 proposal happened late in the morning on October 16, 2026, right at the edge of the East River. The sky was soft and overcast, the trees were still mostly green, and Lower Manhattan stood quietly across the water. I was there as Joe’s proposal photographer, tucked into the greenery […]

Couple during a proposal at San Remo Viewpoint overlooking The Lake in Central Park There is a spot on the Ramble side of Central Park where the trees open and the San Remo fills the view across The Lake. Two towers, still water, and a stone shoreline that is easy to walk past. If you […]

The Robert and Lexi Weehawken Pier proposal happened on October 10, 2026, with the Manhattan skyline stretched across the Hudson behind them. Robert had a ring box in his hand. Lexi had a surprise coming, and her face tells you so. I was there to photograph it, and this is the story as my camera […]

Rain was falling on Governors Island the day I photographed Larry’s surprise proposal, and I think it made the afternoon better. The Three Peaks Lodge proposal took place inside the restaurant at Collective Retreats, with warm light overhead and soft grey weather outside. After more than 30 years behind a camera, I can tell you […]

Harkness Memorial State Park engagement photos can look like three sessions in one. An ivy covered water tower, stone terraces, tree lined paths, the Cutting Garden, and open lawns above the water all sit on one historic estate on Long Island Sound in Waterford, Connecticut. I photographed Gwyneth and Anthony there on September 19, 2026, […]

Courthouse weddings are quiet by design. There is no long processional and no reception schedule, only two people, an officiant, and the guests who matter most. That simplicity raises a fair question about photography: is one hour enough? I get asked about one hour courthouse wedding photography more often than you might expect, and Mia […]

River and Rory celebrated their birthdays together at Crossbar NYC on September 27, 2026, and I photographed the party from eleven until one. This is Crossbar NYC birthday party photography from a real family celebration: kids on the indoor soccer turf, a bounce house in steady use, two cakes, and a small group of friends […]

Morgan and Dakota celebrated their September wedding at a family home in Franklin Township, New Jersey. Their day featured an outdoor ceremony, natural portraits among the trees, family-centered moments, and a tented reception, all photographed in a relaxed, documentary style. A Franklin Township backyard wedding looks simple on paper. Then you walk onto the property […]
