Boudoir


This past weekend I had my first boudoir session and I loved it. I was able to bring my love for old hollywood photos and pin up art together to create some really nice images. As the bride I worked with has not yet given the photos to her betrothed I will not mention any names or show her face on the photos. I don't want to ruin the surprise. I'm looking forward to doing more boudoir work in the future.

John and Katerina






I worked with John and Katerina on their wedding of August 14th at Eagle Oaks Golf and Country Club in Farmingdale. I was excited to do their wedding because I had worked with the bride's family once before (for her sister's wedding a year ago). It was great to deal with such a nice family again. After an outdoor ceremony which took place during the sun's golden hour :) we had a great photo session with the newlyweds and then a lively reception. Some photos are shown above.

Workshop with Kevin Kubota and Doug Gordon



On August 4th and 5th I attended a workshop with Doug Gordon and Kevin Kubota. If you don't know who they are you definitely should. The workshop was amazing and we were shown new posing and lighting techniques as well as how to better manage work flow and editing issues. Everyone who was in attendance was impressed and lots of friends were made. I will definitely attend more of these in the future. Above is an image from our trash the dress session.

Cheryl and Mike


On August 8, 2009 I had the pleasure of working with Cheryl and Mike on their wedding day. Cheryl and I became close during the planning of her wedding and I met with her several times to discuss the type of photos we would take at her wedding, to visit the wedding venue together, and of course just to hang out. I am really happy with the results and I congratulate them on a beautiful marriage.

Photos from their wedding can be seen here.
