Wedding Season Kickoff with Olivia & Kurt!

What a way to start of our wedding season of 2011.

We've been excited for this wedding since meeting Olivia and Kurt on their engagement shoot last year.

What a beautiful connection the 2 families and friends had too. Kurt's family is Haitian and Olivia's is Jamaican...and although i knew we were in Westchester, a little time on the dance floor with the DJ's lovely Carribbean music, I swear I wanted to go change into my bathing suit. It was either that or go take some dancing lessons, because i clearly have some things to learn!!

And can we just talk about the surprise finale at the wedding??! Kurt sang, and I mean BELTED out a song to Olivia, that had the whole wedding crowd on their feet, napkins in the air, cheering on the L-O-V-E!

All the best to you guys in St. Lucia!

Thank you for sharing your very special day with us.

Clarissa & John Are Engaged

Clarissa's mom bought her a photography session with me for an engagement gift. So cute!

I love these afternoons...meet new people, explore the city, breathe it in, eyes wide, with a job that is very simple....
Document Love.

With Clarissa and John, that was easy. They've known each other "forever" in their words. And they are so sweet and caring together, you can tell they have been part of each other's lives for a while.

Clarissa is studying opera! And John sings as well. I'd love to be around their house on a sunday afternoon when the laundry is being done, whistling while they work!

All the best to you guys for your California wedding!

Thanks for sharing your day with me.

Dallas Days

A lovely few days in Dallas for Passover...25 family members, with food and laughter to match. Age range from 92yrs to 8 months.

Followed by a couple cloudy days once the crowds dispersed. Sitting on the back porch soaking in the last family moments.

The plane cried as we left.

Hope you all are well.

Life Support Japan

Crista Dix from The Wall Space Gallery has put together an amazing project called Life Support Japan.

She has collected images from photographers all over, and the purchase of prints, each print being $50, goes to charities to help rebuild Japan. In light of another earthquake this morning in Japan, to be part this project seems like the least i can do.

My image called Ball of Amy is on sale, in an edition of 10 prints in LIfe Support Japan 5.

Please click here to visit the galleries.
