Kori & Shane :: Rochester NY Wedding Photographs

Greetings Dear Friends :)

The month of March can be an unpredictable one in Upstate NY. Occasionally, Old Man Winter will loosen his grip - allowing the thaw to set in and the wonders of Spring to present themselves. Unfortunately for Kori and Shane, this wasn't the case. Heavy rains, near-freezing temperatures and early nightfall characterized their day.

...and you know what??

The day could NOT have been more perfect. Unforgettable, in fact, for it was about the PEOPLE. People... and love... and life... and laughter... and connections... and family and everything that makes our time on this earth worth a damn. I stood in awe of Kori and Shane, the young family that they've started and those who came to support and encourage their journey together. It was in these observations that I was reminded of how lucky we are, and how beautiful life can be. Thank you, dear friends, for this most special gift. May you always be surrounded by all things good :)

...and thank you to the insanely talented Kelli Marsh who once again brought her unique blend of curiosity, positivity, and creativity to the table. Your contributions are nothing short of awesome :)

Here are a few of my favorites from:

Korinne & Shane

...and finally a quick shout out to the Pascucci & Haymon families for accepting us as one of their own. Your kindness was overwhelming :)

So that just about wraps it up for this installment of visual:ramblings. I am grateful that you have spent a little bit of your day with me. ...until we meet again :)

Kim & Andres Valenzuela :: Nyack, NY Wedding Photographs

Greetings Dear Friends :)

This post is LONG overdue...

Everyone, meet Kim & Andres Valenzuela. ...fellow photographers and dear friends. Their love is INSANE. Witnessing them on their most important day was an unforgettable experience. Kim & Andres - Thank you for helping me to define what "madly in love" looks like.

...and thanks to Kenny Kim & Vanessa Joy for allowing me the coveted roll of third shooter. It was a joy, an honor and a privilege to work with you both again. ...looking forward to the next one!

Kim & Andres Valenzuela

...that last one chokes me up. I came around the corner just after the ceremony and there they were. Completely unrehearsed, unposed, un-anything. Ecstatic at the love they had found and the lives they were about to embark upon. Simply breathtaking...

That just about wraps it up for this installment of visual:ramblings. Thanks for stopping by my dear friends. I hope that this finds you all well.

Married: Vanessa Joy & Rob Adams - NJ Wedding Photographs

Greetings Friends :)

2009 was beyond comprehension. Fittingly, the last wedding of 2009 was just the same. Vanessa Joy and Rob Adams are not just friends to me, but industry peers whose businesses, work and person I admire enormously. Vanessa is a talented photographer and the driving force behind Vanessa Joy Photography. Rob is a visionary cinematographer and principal at Rob Adams Productions. Professionally they tied the knot last year with the opening of their studio in Freehold, NJ. Blending still photography with motion & sound, they're sure to turn the industry on it's ear with their ultra slick, cutting-edge 'Fusion Wedding' services. You heard it here first folks ;)

Vanessa Joy & Rob: Thank you for allowing me to witness your bond so freely. ...so unfiltered and pure. I hope that these images convey a sense of the individuals that you are, the love that you share, and the good vibes that you radiate. It was an enormous honor to share in your most special day.

...and while I'm feeling thankful: A very special thanks to my boyz Kenny Kim and Ahmet Ze. Friends, peers, brothers and continual sources of inspiration. I'm thrilled to 3rd shoot for you guys anytime :)

Here are a few that I dig. Swing by my facebook page for more!

I hope that you are all settled and aiming upwards in this new year.

Thank you for stopping by and spending a little bit of your day with me.

Local Buzzzz: Rochester Democrat & Chronicle - Wedding Photography

Hello Dear Friends,

My hometown newspaper - The Rochester Democrat & Chronicle - recently ran an article announcing the recognition that I received in the latest International Society of Professional Wedding Photographers image contest. Here is a screen-grab of that article taken from their online journal. If the font size makes it difficult to read, you can click on the image below to be redirected to the official site...though I don't know how long that link will be available for.


This is an enormous honor. One that will be used as fuel to burn during the upcoming season - a season in which we plan to exceed any and every expectation set forth by ourselves and our clients. 3 words define this initiative:

EMPTY THE TANK
(Every day, every way...we come with all that we have and leave nothing behind.)
Anything less is simply unacceptable.

Get fired up my friends...onward and upward...to the stars!

Yolanda & Nico - Lake Tahoe, CA Wedding

Foodie:
Wikipedia defines 'foodie' as an informal term for a particular class of aficionado of food & drink. Based on what I know about food and drink, Yolanda & Nico are foodies...to a tee. Their European themed, cross cultural celebration blended Yolanda's Italian heritage and Nico's French roots with tasteful elegance and...well, I'm getting hungry :) Man was the food AMAZING!!!

Cheers, Salute and Salut to my dear friends Yolanda & Nico. Thank you for sharing your lives with us so genuinely. It was an incredible honor. There was no place else on Earth that we would rather have been that day. ...and thank you to Margie Lockwood and the staff at the Fitzhaven in Lake Tahoe, CA for being so good at what you do. Kelli Marsh came along for this one and added an invaluable perspective to the day. I am, again, blown away by you :)
