JINNY + CHONG (NYC Manhattan Wedding Photography – Waldorf Astoria New York)

Jinny and Chong got married this past summer, at one of the most iconic hotels in Manhattan, the Waldorf Astoria.  As you may have heard, the Waldorf will soon be undergoing a massive renovation project, with its towers becoming a residence along with other improvements with the hotel.  So with that in mind, it was great to be able to photograph this landmark one more time before its makeover.

What I was able to witness was an intimate, moving and touching ceremony of two people madly in love, playful with each other any chance they could get, and who share a deep bond with each other that keeps them inseparable.

One of the things I love about Manhattan weddings, besides the obvious beauty, is how it intrinsically pushes one to be more creative, to act quickly on inspiration, and to feed off the energy of the hustle and bustle.  There is no greater city in the world for an artist, or for anyone for that matter.

Jinny and Chong chose to have only the closest of family in attendance to celebrate, which allowed for absolute intimacy and an emotionally charged day.  My goal was to help capture that and I hope it comes across in the sample of photos I’m displaying.  I’m extremely delighted to share these with you and I hope you enjoy.

Congratulations once again to Jinny and Chong.  They were an amazing couple to work with, full of class and grace, which you can see here.

Have a great one, everybody.

BRIAN + BRAD (Westchester Wedding – The Inn at Pound Ridge)

What’s new everyone?  Today’s blog is special for me, as Brian is one of my brother’s oldest and dearest friends, from all way back in high school.  I was happy to hear when my brother told me Brian was getting married, and even happier when I got an email from him one day inquiring about my services.

Brian and Brad have been together for over six years I believe, and I was honored to document and witness their wedding day.  My brother was unable to make the big day so I suppose I was serving as a sort of proxy for him in addition to being the photographer haha.

Our day began at the Hyatt Regency in Stamford, Connecticut where Brian and Brad were both getting ready.  Then after the first look we headed to Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s  The Inn at Pound Ridge for the ceremony and reception.  There, we met up with Brian and Brad’s closest friends and family, an intimate gathering for a cozy celebration of two people’s love for each other.

What a gorgeous day and event it was, and it was my absolute pleasure to record it for them (oh yeah, almost forgot but the food was pretty phenomenal, as expected). I wish nothing but the best for them, they deserve it.

TINA + EDDIE (NYC Manhattan Central Park Wedding Photography – Tavern on the Green, W Hotel in Hoboken, NJ)

Back in the Fall, which seems like so long ago, Tina and Eddie tied the knot in a gorgeous ceremony in Central Park.  Rain was falling ever so lightly throughout the morning, but it held off miraculously during the ceremony and only started back up when we were finishing up the family portraits.  If that isn’t good timing, I don’t know what is.  I’d like to think I had a hand in keeping the rains away during the most important parts of the day, but that would be a complete and utter lie.  But I’ll take it nonetheless.  Not that the rain would’ve stopped the joy and happiness of the day anyways.

An afternoon post-wedding lunch and cocktail was served at the Tavern on the Green and once the rains stopped again, we made our way out for more photos.  The evening began and ended at the W in Hoboken, which was filled with dancing, endless drinks, delicious eats from Dark Side of the Moo food truck and most importantly of all, Tina and Eddie and their beautiful friends and family.

With that said, enjoy the photos and have a wonderful day!
