We Meet

You’ll come to my studio overlooking Union Square and have a chat. We’ll look at albums, portfolios and slide shows on the computer. You can see my work and we can discuss the parameters of candid wedding photography.

It’s a great opportunity for me to hear more about your wedding plans: the location, the guest-count, the size of the wedding party and so forth. But more importantly, it’s a chance for you to answer the question, “Do we want to spend the most important day of our life with this person?”

Photographers and couples work together for a long time  – not just on the day of your wedding. I want that process to be as seamless and comfortable for you as possible and I tap into over 600 weddings worth of knowledge make that happen.

Once Booked

I’m now a resource for any questions you may have. I’ve fielded all sorts of requests in the past. I have been asked to go shopping for the wedding dress and to scout locations. One bride’s mother sent me a swatch of material from the bridesmaids’ dresses to see how the color photographed! Basically, I’m of wealth of knowledge about weddings and vendors and I’m happy to share it.

One month before the wedding we will sit down again at the studio to get down to the nitty-gritty. We’ll map out a timeline for the day and discuss important details such as the ins and outs of shooting in religious institutions. It’s a chance for me to finalize my plans for the day and for you to get the answers to any residual questions you might have.

The Wedding Day

I love to start with the “getting ready” pictures because this is where the story really begins. I snap away, generally unnoticed, at any detail that will be fondly remembered. I may find dad in the garden practicing his speech, mom ironing the best man’s tie or the bride in her veil and jeans, stealing a sip of champagne to calm the nerves.

The ceremony itself will be covered from as many angles as possible. I shoot with a long lens so there’s no need for me to stand right up there with you. Afterwards, once the guests are mingling, I’ll ask the couple to spare me a few moments. We’ll get away from the crowd and take some personal photos. This is also the time to organize any group shots; however, you may find the most beautiful pictures are the more spontaneous ones.

The rest of the day and evening will be covered with candid photography.  That means I follow the action I don’t direct it. I am there to document your wedding as it naturally unfolds. My reportage style of photography captures the details that make the story of your day complete. I may catch a four year old swiping a bit of icing off the cake or a pile of high heels left by the side of the dance floor when the party really gets going. I’m always looking for images that have the power, years later, to bring the memories rushing back.

After The Wedding

No more than 8 – 10 weeks after your wedding day you will receive your proofs, brag book, DVD and a link to the online gallery.

Albums

I have four album styles to choose from.  Click here for more information on our various album styles.

You can use the proofs or your DVD to choose images for your album.  Once you have chosen the shots, the studio does a layout which gets posted online. We then do a second layout according to your specifications and this process continues until the album is laid out exactly as you would like.

Video

I have chosen a select group of videographers whose style and approach compliment my own. The basic principles of my photography, that it should be candid, unobtrusive and work with available light also guide their shooting.

Prices range from $2500 to $3800 for videographers.  Please contact me for more information.
