When Keri and I met for the first time, the conversation was effortless. Her coming from a costume design background, she had ideas and a vision for how she wanted her wedding to be. Little did I know how much her vision has grown leaps and bounds, as she is now about to launch Ceremonia next month with her business partner, Shelby, an online bridal concept store. We're now working on a project together which you will see soon, but until then you can see the collaboration between myself, Keri and her now-husband, Elliot and what we created for their wedding day in Vermont. A big thanks to Sheena Kim of Unique Lapin for always being my favorite person rocking the second camera. Enjoy.
katelyn & kris / in the neighborhood
Some of my favorite weddings are the ones with no fuss, the ones where its just about the people and the emotion of the day. Katelyn and Kris had that idea, just have some fun taking photos, get married, then enjoy the eat and drink. They wanted to get married in their neighborhood of West Village before they jetted off to London for work, so they had their family and friends fly in from around the country to revel in their nuptials. We started at their home and then headed out to their favorite bar, Entwine, for a few snaps and drinks. We ended at Bobo where we met with everyone to lock in their love. So enjoy a view of their neighborhood.
cynthia & eli / away we go
What happens when you put together a dope couple with a dope venue? You get a dope wedding. Cynthia and Eli's love for each other is apparent in every look and glance and it was my pleasure to capture it all. It also doesn't hurt that Refinery29 featured them as one of five of the best NYC weddings of 2014 and that they were also featured on Brooklyn Bride. With an all star team Brooklyn team of Naturally Delicious, August Sage & Violet, Morgan Gates, and Styles on B under the roof of 501 Union, I knew it was going to be just that. A big thanks to Silvia Foz for manning the 2nd camera and my favorite sprite of a videographer, Courtney of Love + Brain Films for capturing the moving love (see her highlight reel at the end of the post).
kate & steve / cityscapes
Kate and Steve were the most low key couple I have ever had the pleasure of working with. All they wanted were cool portraits and to showcase the party with their friends, what else could you ask for? How about an amazing backdrop for their portraits (the hotel and rooftop of The Nolitan Hotel) and the coolest party space for their wedding (PUBLIC)? With Michelle Elaine Weddings filling the space with great details, I knew this one would be a lot of fun. Also a big thanks to Shannon Sturgis for covering this one with me and if you want to see more details and the rest of the vendors, check out the feature on Ruffled.
cristelle & robert / land and sea
Big Sur, every photographers dream. Everyone's dreams actually. Since moving to New York I haven't had many opportunities to photograph in open spaces, so when Cristelle and Robert asked me to capture their nuptials, I jumped at the chance. I got bring my right hand man, Kim, with me so I knew we'd have a great time. I'll follow up this post with some personal film shots that I had taken on our journey. Enjoy the favorites.
