I will be honest. I was slightly nervous about shooting this engagement session for Cynthia and her fiancee, Paul. Ok, very.
Several months ago, Cynthia booked me for her small, intimate wedding of 60 people which will be on May 14, 2011 at the Zolla-Lieberman Gallery. At the same time, she also wanted an engagement session. While none of this is abnormal, Cynthia booked me via email only. No phone call, no in-person consultation.

While I enjoy the repetition of venues and knowing how to approach these spaces, this was my first time to the Blackstone Hotel.
When I walked into the bride's suite, there was a lot of energy as the final push to get Wendy ready for the meet-up with her fiancee, PJ. I had to step back and take a deep breathe so I could scan the room and assess each and every hurdle in front of me. The room was spacious, but Wendy was at the farthest reaches of the room, in a corner, with multiple hair and make-up artists standing in the way, annoying portable lighting and heating lamps placed nearby, a massive dining table cluttered with paraphernalia and bridesmaids rotating about to catch a glimpse of Wendy's progress.

Several years ago, I stumbled across Anton Lorimer's work and immediately knew one day, he would work for me. I merely needed the money, and mostly, the reason to invest in his brilliance.

My hire for Anne and Travis' wedding was an unusual circumstance. At least for me. Anne contacted me from San Diego while planning her wedding from 2,196 miles away.
How did she hear about me? Keith of Poetic Productions. We chatted for a short bit, and she booked over the phone. I was more or less stunned mainly because it is rare a photographer gets a rec from a videographer and then a simple, seamless booking via the phone.
Site unseen.
For the first time in my career, I get the chance to thank Keith for the kind words and direction he gave Anne. So, thanks again Keith! We all did have a great time, eh?

Five years ago, I woke up with an entire body covered in hives. It was the morning of my step-brother's wedding held at the Tribeca Rooftop in Manhattan.
Five years ago, I made a pact to never photograph a friend's or relative's wedding again. I find the stress to perform and deliver too much for my little self to endure ever again. Plus, I missed out on celebrating such an incredible event with my own friends and family (some I had not seen in 20 years). Work and play don't mix well together. I heard the food was good though!
