Thank you everyone for being so amazing, open and welcoming! It was really fun watching the big day unfold and everyone share in the love and laughter of family and friends and the joy for Joshua and his family. I'm honored to share your day and weave these emotions into moments and document this milestone - this weighty flicker in time. Congrats Joshua!
What a day! Nothing could stop the love of Eliza & Joey, not even hurricane Irene! Not even being separated by an island - Eliza was going to make it to the side of her one and only love, Joey, no matter what! We set out into the storm and it turned out to be a wonderful day. It made it even more special and sweet to see smiling friends and family there to support the couple.
These two are super adorable and just plain cute to watch. Their families were constantly with them, supporting them the whole way. The ceremony was especially moving since Eliza is the musical director for the church and her friends and one of her bridesmaids sang during the ceremony.
Hello world!
Other photographers might describe themselves as - well, a photographer, but I think of myself as a memory artist or a joy preservationist - both of which get closer to the core of what I do. Friends, family, furry pals and fiancees; parties, mitzvahs, and weddings - life gives us some achingly precious moments. Wouldn't it be magic to preserve those memories - to hold them in the palm of your hand? (Or, you know, on the wall, or in an album?)
