I love love love these two and I love shooting in my neighborhood - Brooklyn! This was an unbelievably perfect day. Debby and Matt were married by a close friend on Pier 1 in the shadow of the Brooklyn Bridge, with a sweeping view of the city. Superfine in DUMBO looked smashing, the photography locations are to die for, the food was divine, Debby looked stunning and chic (check out that black dress), Matt was debonair and a girl couldn't ask for nicer people all around. Deb's parents couldn't make the ceremony, so one of the couple's friends broadcast the reception live so they could enjoy the revelry. Superfine helped set up live streaming so that Deb's parents could give a toast during the reception. It was a first for the venue (and me) and there wasn't a dry eye in the house. Special thanks to my friend and second shooter extraordinaire Jenny Boyle and my assistant Whitney Browne.
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?)
