Summer might have been over, but on a gorgeous day in October, Elisa and Cliff were married at the oceanfront Golden Inn Hotel in Avalon, New Jersey. Their feet in the sand, intimate ceremony was filled with loved ones who came from near and far to celebrate the couple. A joyous day at the shore!
Lisha and Caldwell were married at a family home in stunning Chappaqua, New York. It was a perfect way to begin the Fall season, with gorgeous surroundings, and loved ones who travelled near and far to celebrate (with plenty of dancing on the tennis court). Full of personal touches, natural details, and heartfelt sentiments, it was a wonderful wedding day for all, including myself, who has known Lisha since childhood. I feel incredibly grateful to have been a part of the day, and know there is nothing but a beautiful future in store for this creative, kind couple. Congratulations!!
Thank you, as always, to the wonderful wedding team!

Where do I begin? Lauren and Jake made so many hearts happy on their wedding day, including mine. I first met Lauren and Jake through my work at The Glimmerglass Festival, where Jake is Technical Director, and Lauren is Assistant Wardrobe Manager. If you know them, they're incredibly genuine, kind, fun-loving, dedicated individuals. Thus, it didn't surprise me that their wedding was a heartfelt celebration of everything they are and more. Congratulations, you two. Thank you for having me capture the start of your life together.
Thank you to all the wedding contributors!

A heartfelt ceremony at City Hall, that celebrated the beauty of sharing a life together. Congratulations Daren and Hilton!
Manhattan was the perfect backdrop to capture the love of Daren and Hilton. Not only did I make pictures with this incredible couple, but their family as well!
Daren's Mom Yvonne, their son Jacques, and adorable dog Peanut all joined us at their home in the Financial District. What a beautiful family, inside and out. Thank you for having me document your bond, and congratulations on this new chapter in your lives.
Stay tuned for images from Daren and Hilton's City Hall ceremony!
Being asked to document the wedding of someone you have known since you were eight years old is a very special and meaningful request. Leah contacted me this summer and I am incredibly happy I was able to photograph the start of her and Alex's life together.
I can easily sum up their wedding in three words: love, laughter, and dancing!
A big thank you to my second photographer Cherylynn Tsushima, who joyfully danced the night away with her camera to capture some great moments.

Last month under the Apollo Theater Education department, I had the opportunity to capture a Family Showtime performance featuring excerpts from James Brown: Get On The Good Foot – A Celebration in Dance. Presented by the Apollo Theater, this vivacious and soulful production made me want to abandon my Saturday night plans and come back to enjoy the evening performance without a camera in front of my face!

This year the Miller Theatre at Columbia University presented the 2nd annual Morningside Lights, a weeklong project which invites the community to participate in a series of workshops that teach how to create handmade lanterns and musical instruments to be used in a procession of public art at the end of the week.
It was fantastic to capture the process from start to finish, and I was blown away by the artistry of all involved!
