We put a lot into our days, both wedding photographers, as well as the families of the bride and groom. When it is all said and done, we all look forward to unwinding for a few moments.
I recently had the pleasure to photograph the wedding of Eileen and Jason at New York City’s wonderful and historic Roosevelt Hotel which is just [...]
So who is Uncle Bob and why is he cursed?
For the uninitiated “Uncle Bob” is the name given by wedding photographers to any wedding guest, male or female, who appears at a wedding with either with a bigger, fancier or even Lord forbid, a newer camera than the actual hired photographer or someone who appears [...]

Clients usually choose their wedding location very carefully. In telling the story of a wedding, one of my goals is to create photographs that give a sense of the location.

Something I find myself doing quite often on days when I photograph in the sun, is to seek out the sun purposely in the frame of my camera .. and allow the sunlight to flare as a burst of light streaking across the image. I find that if I can place it carefully, it adds a cinematic [...]
The “Calling”.
It was not so much a calling, but a revelation. It was a revelation that happened along my journey in photography.
Many start careers in photography as wedding photographers, only to move on into other areas of photography in a short period of time. Fewer start photography careers in other areas of photography to move [...]
I started in photography doing it for myself first. Even though I have come as a professional to photograph weddings and portraits for clients, or newspaper assignments for editors, I still shoot for myself. I constantly push myself to try a new technique, lighting, post-processing, different camera formats, etc. Most of my ideas come from [...]
