Danielle and Christopher Wedding at New York City Hall

I’ve always wanted to photograph a New York city hall ceremony. When one of my friends that I met teaching 8 years ago, Christopher, asked me for a favor I jumped at the opportunity. Danielle and Chris cancelled their November wedding to help a close relative pay for unexpected funeral expenses after a death in the family. Knowing that they had booked another NYC photographer so I could attend their wedding, I asked why she wasn’t shooting this short mid-week ceremony. Turns out that when they had to switch their date she, in all her wisdom, enforced part of her contract – the part that entitles her to keep their entire deposit. I was happy to be in a position to help out a friend and did it shooting something I had always wanted to anyway. I hope you guys enjoy and cherish your wedding gift!

Vinny + Alvin Engagement at the High Line

Vinny and Alvin both live and work in the city and prefer a modern and understated style. It was an easy call for them to choose Highline Park as a location for their engagement photos. Things didn’t go entirely to plan when we realized the park was closing early that day due to the pride festivities in the area. We switched gears a bit and headed into the Meatpacking district and then finally Chinatown for some night shooting.

Martine and Torey Wedding in Baiting Hollow

Martine and Torey are two of the nicest most easy going people you’ll ever meet. I had been excited about this wedding since I had such a fun time at their engagement session on the North Fork of Long Island last summer. Of course the wedding didn’t disappoint! Partly because they both always have smiles on their faces and are madly in love, and partly because of the beautiful scenery and weather at Giorgio’s that day.
