  • My Blog

    Welcome to my blog!   This blog showcases not only my work from many of the beautiful weddings I am privileged to photograph, but also reveals glimpses of my personality.    Here is an opportunity to share some great moments  as well as give clients,  guests and friends the chance to comment. I also hope prospective clients will be able to not only explore my photography and style, but will also find inspiring ideas, recommendations , and tips for their own wedding planning.   I myself got married five years ago and I remember how overwhelming it all was- especially picking the right photographer!  :-)

I’m very happy to have Barbara & Dave’s wedding featured as a Real Hamptons Wedding on Well Wed. Barbara and Dave are such a sweet and nice couple and very in love. Ever since they met at Yale in New Haven, Barbara says she knew Dave was the man she would marry.

Unable to wait that long for their first date, they both decided that the Sleeping Giant State Park was their next choice. After packing a picnic lunch and a cozy blanket, the two set off for the day and it was then that sparks flew. “I called a friend on my drive home and told her I met the man I was going to marry” says Barbara.

I was so excited to find out that Yvonne & Jason’s wedding at Bridgewaters NYC has been featured on the Wedding Channel. I still have fond memories of their gorgeous wedding, rich with symbols of their shared Chinese and Jewish heritages.

It also features some gorgeous stationary designed by the Bride, Yvonne from her stationary business, Double Happiness Creations.
