Mazel Tov

Daryn and I photographed Rebecca and Jeremy's wedding today at the Inn on the Lake. It was a romantic Jewish wedding under crystal clear skies on the north end of Canandaigua Lake. We had the pleasure of working with an awesome band, Brass Taxi, under the tent at the Inn. I could think of a worse way to spend the day than with a fun couple, gorgeous weather and one of the best views in New York. I had the opportunity to play with Daryn's custom made Infra Red digital camera. It's a modified Nikon D70 that was a lot of fun to play with. Two of Daryn's images from the camera are shown below.

Patrick and Allyson

I just got back from Utica after shooting Patrick and Allyson's wedding. What an awesome day. The pace was relaxed. The locations were awesome. Patrick and Allyson were super cool. What else could I ask for? The highlight of the day was going to the Utica Train Station. The architecture was incredible, as was the lighting and of course my favorite, trains. I wish we had more time there and access to the steam train that was there. Now it's time for bed. That's about as far as I would want to go without considering it a multiple day event. I'm exhausted.

Alyssa's Birthday

My daughter Sarah went to her friend Alyssa's Birthday party yesterday. They started with a spa treatment with a hot tub and hair do's at Studio 2000 on Main Street in Canandaigua. After that, they came over to the photo studio for a fashion shoot. They had a blast. Happy Birthday Alyssa.

Future Twins

I had the privilege of photographing Jennifer and Jacob this week for the twins book. Jennifer is expecting twins and Jacob is an adorable soon to be big brother. I have no idea which one to use for the book. Any suggestions?

Rochester Wedding

Ellen and I shot Andrea and Aaron's wedding today in Rochester. Angela Hall of Out of the Ordinary Weddings was the coordinator of today's event at the Clarion Riverside Hotel. The wedding was fit for royalty. We had the opportunity to explore areas of downtown Rochester to get some great urban and skyline shots.

She Said "Yes"!

I was just going through some of my favorite engagement sessions for a new gallery on my website. I thought I would share some of them with you.

I also want to jump on to a cool concept I recently read about of taking candid marriage proposal photos. This is where a hopeful groom would hire us to take unsuspecting photos of him proposing to his girlfriend and their reactions. I was thinking of calling them "She Said 'Yes'!" sessions.
