I don't photograph babies

Well, sometimes I do.

This is Benjamin, born to my friend Dina just a couple of weeks ago. I drove down to meet him this morning. Loved this picture and wanted to share.

Best,

the wedding photo movie

Lisa Toff, one of my favorite brides from 2008, stopped by the house today and I was really looking forward to her visit.

I had a surprise for her.

It was a project I've had in mind for a while and decided her wedding would be great for it.

I took a bunch of still images from her wedding & synched them to one song. It's 1,452 images in about 4 minutes.

I like the effect.

I'm not crazy about the low quality I'm getting from the YouTube link here, but you get the idea.

p.s. It's a slower load but you can see a better quality version here.

2009!

Happy New Year!

We fired up 2009 with Jenn & Kevin's engagement session at Rockefeller Center last night & it was great. We kind of did this backwards: their wedding was December 6, they honeymooned & then we shot their engagement photos - with them in wedding attire - last night.

No matter. Jenn looked as awesome in her dress as she did on her wedding day. You would never know looking at the photos it was FREEZING COLD outside. Wendy - my wife - helped me on the shoot and we were both cold in winter coats.

Thanks, Jenn & Kevin, for helping me kick off the New Year so nicely.
