Andrea's portrait session at the Hyatt in Jersey City

Andrea's Sweet 15 is in May but she wanted some cool photos before the party. She was a little camera shy at first but as the session went on she was very comfortable. I look forward to the big day and an awesome party.

So here are a few images from the session.

Ethan's Bar Mitzvah at the Terrace in the Sky in NYC

Ethan's Bar Mitzvah was totally cool and so much fun. These kids really got into it and had a blast. Ethan was a cool dude and so were his brother and sister. The Cohen kids love to have fun and be silly but are also very smart and witty. Ethan was very scholary during the ceremony but knew hoe to let lose during the party and have fun with his friends. Also, Ethan's dad Dan is a cool musician which seems to run in there family as well.

Ethan is a kid of many faces. He loved the camera and knew how to have fun with it.

I wasn't kidding about the Cohen kids.
Ethan's younger sister doing her thing before the ceremony.

The ceremony was also held at the Terrace in the Sky and it was beautiful. Ethan was the man and did a great job especially with his dvar torah. The kid has skills!




After Ethan's dvar Torah his Dan gave him the biggest hug a dad can give his son. What a pround moment that was.

Dan the Man was also got into it during the party with the kids. Dan was working it! You go Dan!

And of course, the horah and Ehtan was living it up!

Ah, those silly kids. Love them!
This was a serious party and these kids knew how to do it up. They had a blast!
Many thanks to the Cohen family for allowing me to be a part of Ethan's special day. I had a blast despite not feeling to well that day. Mazel Tov!

Melina and Jaime at the BoatHouse in Central Park, NYC

I had the pleasure of working with another good friend and colleague Lily Kesselman. We had a great time photographing Melina and Jaime's wedding. What a great couple. I worked with Jaime and the guys and we did our thing all up and down the Upper Westside. We stopped at Brother Jimmy's, The Museum of Natural History, and Central Park. You name it and we did it. These guys were crazy cool and fun. Until, I later found out that Jaime and Melina meet at Lehigh University. I of course went to Holy Cross but I didn't hold that against them. LOL!

Let's take a look and some of the moments from the wedding day. I started at the apartment on the Upper Westside with the fellas.

This is what I'm talking about! The fellas were getting their groove on at Brother Jimmy's. Those damn drinking bowls! So how many guys does it take to finish one of these in less than a minute. LOL!

Boys will be Boys!

Now the two sides of Jaime. The fun & silly and the smooth & sauve. By the way the gator made it to the reception.

The ladies getting their game faces and their rally on! These guys were gamers the whole day. LOVE IT!

On the way out!
Mr. Sauve and the ladies. If I were being hugged by these beautiful ladies I'd have a smile on my face as well.

A few of the lovely couple at Columbus Circle.




Nothing like a little shopping with the shopping cart at the reception.

Melina and Jaime have some of the best smiles I have ever seen from a couple. And they were working them all day.

And a couple details.
Melina and Jaime thanks for a wonderful and memorable day. You guys were awesome. But I must say Go Crusaders! Lily it was a pleasure working with you as always. Until next time.
