With Thanksgiving only two days away, I thought it would be a great time to offer a holiday promotion to all of you.  I am so thankful for all of my wonderful clients throughout the year.  You truly make me love what I do and I can't express how much I appreciate your business and your support.  The ability to turn something I love into a career has never been something I've taken for granted.  I am thankful for each day, each job and each client.  

Alison and Jesse should have a long and happy marriage because the weather on their day was dismal!  We had great plans of shooting around the city and in Grand Central Station and unfortunately, the weather dismissed our plans very quickly.  While I love outdoor photos and try to get at least a few no matter what, I love how warm and welcoming a wedding feels on a rainy day.  The lights from inside seem even brighter and it just feels so good to go from a storm outside to a bright and happy party inside. 

The Lotos Club offered what felt like a regal backdrop for the day.  There were rich colors and ornamental details in every room that truly felt fit for a wedding.  Thanks to Alison and Jesse for going with the flow!  It was a beautiful day.

Thankfully, Becca and Dan decided to have their wedding on a Sunday.  The day before, we had an epic blizzard and tree--falling episode in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.  Roads were nearly impossible to navigate.  Even on Sunday, my trip to Holly Hedge required three detours.  Needless to say, it was a relief to arrive for the beautiful wedding that took place.  It seemed to me that all of the guests made it too.  While the ceremony was moved inside, the barn provided such an intimate and wonderful setting that I doubt anyone even noticed the weather outside.  Becca and Dan had a wonderful attitude about the slight changes in plans and they truly had a blast at the party!  It was a wonderful, snowy, fall wedding.

Amy and Dave introduced me to the beautiful town of Tenafly in New Jersey.  I always love shooting in new places and this little park Amy found was perfect, in spite of a dolled-up birthday girl and her countless "birthday-maids".  What we witnessed was like a teen wedding complete with a bus-limo, photographer and videographer.  Really, the oddest thing.  In spite of the commotion, we found plenty of light to work with and then headed over to the railroad tracks, which I also loved!  Thanks for being so photogenic, you guys.  Aren't they adorable?

I caught up with this sweet family and former wedding client last week at the Highline in NYC.  Their baby girl had me smiling for hours just thinking of her.  She was so happy and content the entire time, just giggling and enjoying the sunshine.  Heather and Derek, she is such a treat!
