Chad and Marisa are one of those couples that any photographer would kill for the chance to photograph. They're gorgeous, their faces full of honesty and love for each other. We spent a beautiful Sunday evening wandering around Williamsburg and getting to know each other and I am thrilled with the results (I hope they are too!). I am very much looking forward to their Brooklyn wedding next month and for another chance to photograph them.

I had a blast yesterday with these two. Not only were they willing to go out and shoot on a rainy day, they came prepared with rain boots and umbrellas (which, luckily, we didn't end up needing after all). We met on the Highline and braved the wind to get some great shots with the Chelsea skyline in the background. Then we wandered down into the streets just as the sun's magic hour started. I loved how into the shoot they were and how willing they were to do just about anything to get a great shot (including trespassing!). Paul has the ability to make Beata laugh on cue and her smile in these shots is 100% genuine because of it. I can't wait for their Brooklyn Winery wedding in May!

Trish and Eric might just be my new favorite clients. They planned a beautifully-intimate affair at the Brooklyn Winery in Williamsburg, inviting just 35 of their closest friends and family members. Everything from her gorgeous J. Crew gown to her simple and sweet DIY florals to their unique invitation design was carefully handpicked to create a day that truly represented who they are as a couple. And they are pretty cool.

After getting ready at the newly-opened Hotel Williamsburg, we headed over to the waterfront for portraits just as the sun was going down. Both the ceremony and reception were held at the Brooklyn Winery -- one of the warmest, most intimate venues Brooklyn has to offer. 

When Melissa told me she needed a photographer for her Camp Susque wedding I was more than just a little excited. I spent one week of every summer of my childhood at this camp and hadn't been back since I was 13 years old. Driving up to such a familiar place so many years later had me experiencing some serious nostalgia. Add to that the fact many people I knew from the camp were guests of the wedding and actually remembered me (I still can't believe it). 

Melissa and Seth did an amazing job of turning the camp of my childhood into a venue for their wedding reception. And it didn't hurt that the camp is set in the middle of the Allegheny mountains that just happened to be changing color as fall set in.
