What do you get when you attend the Vertebrate Paleontology department's holiday party at Columbia University in Manhattan?
Love!
The two met when Melissa was invited to the soiree by a mutual friend when Alan was getting his PhD 6 years ago. Once the two met and locked eyes, they spent the remaining hours sitting on a radiator avoiding intense discussions. They spoke about Buffy the Vampire Slayer, working in museums (Melissa works at an art museum) and watching people take shots from an ice luge shaped like a dinosaur (which tragically the tail melted so it looked as if people were doing shots off the dinosaur's butt).

Lauren & Mike. Sigh. Two absolutely adorable people. Ya kind of want to get mad at them for being so darn cute.
And to add to the charm they possess? The two met 11 years ago in high school before the millennium, and shared their first kiss on New Years, 2000. One. Two. Three. Awe! I do like that. I am a sucker for these stories.

Thanks to a couple of previous (and happy) clients for sending this couple my way, Naomi & Adam didn't have to search too long for their photographer. Seriously, happy clients make my life easier.
They had already seen my work in its entirety, been briefed about my capabilities and were quite aware (and warned) of my passion for joking around. In other words, hire me at your own risk.
So, they did.

Kristen & Jon married July 4, 2009. Cold. Rainy. It felt like March. 56 degrees.
Normally I dread July and August weddings because of the high humidity and heat. Not the summer of 2009. While I enjoyed the cooler temps, I was annoyed by the constant rain ruining the "Chicago Pic" portion of my client's wedding day. Ever since 9-11, it is impossible to go into any private space to take pictures. When it rains on wedding days, that narrows our opportunities down. A lot.

There is something nerve-wracking about shooting a talented graphic designer's wedding. It is also a huge honor when you get hired by a talented graphic designer.
Meet Bruce. And, his adorable wife Juliette. Bruce, is a graphic designer.
I think it's the appreciation and complete understanding of the visual arts that makes me anxious. Artists tend to be controlling about their own work and passionate about other art forms. I worry they might grapple with the inability to just let go and have fun. You know. Let me do my job so I can deliver quality work.
