I always get funny looks when I ask my clients to meet me at sunrise – on a weekend, no less. I do this primarily to avoid tourists, hoodlums, traffic and the pressure of getting into a parking spot within 15 seconds (lest you suffer the wrath of 15 car horns behind you). These elements…

As if these two haven’t heard this enough already, their love for each other was “so immense that they made the ground shake on their wedding day”, literally :). There are so many reasons why this will be one wedding I will always remember, least of which have anything to do with the fact that…
This was a session that had been almost 5 years in the making, which is about as long as I’ve known my wife. Once upon a time, Malikia was a colleague at my wife’s design firm who also happened to be the same girl who made fun of the ginormous camera I always had hanging…
On the week of our scheduled engagement session, it was a wet forecast for us East Coasters. Little would I know that the entire month of August would be filled with all sorts of terrestrial anomalies that would only occur precisely on the dates I was shooting. I couldn’t catch a break if my life…
Don’t let these super-romantical images fool you, this couple was/is a riot. Not only that, they were up for nearly anything/everything under the sun; which was coincidentally beating us senseless throughout our entire engagement session on Governors Island. I even have a sexy farmer’s tan to prove it :). Despite this (the heat, not my…
I remember sitting down with Tessa and Dave at our initial meeting and thought to myself: “Wow, what a photogenic couple! I need to get these two in front of my camera, stat!”. But the truth is, I have a horrible poker-face; and my brain doesn’t necessarily always know what my mouth is doing/saying. So…
Fanny (endearingly known in our family as Be-be) is my younger cousin who grew up across the hallway from me (along with a few dozen of my other cousins whose parents thought it would be rather ingenious to migrate the entire freaking village into the SAME APARTMENT BUILDING). As such, we all grew up together…
According to my wife, there’s a term in the Korean lexicon that describes a person like me: Seagull Dad. It’s a term reserved for dads who work abroad and sends money back home to raise the kids. And maybe once (or twice) a year, a great migration will take place and the dad will get…
Okay, so this post was meant for yesterday. And I should know better: with 5 days of emails that have been making themselves comfortable in my inbox while in my absence, there was absolutely no way, through hell OR high water, I was ever going to get ANY work done on my images. I suppose…
If there was one job that changed my career forever, these guys were it. Though I had been doing photography for quite some time, I’d never encountered a client who loved my work so much that it actually compelled me to re-examine the possibility of pursuing my photography work at 200% – which is 100-120…
