New York CityI just returned from an incredibly busy trip to New York City, where I shot engagement connection sessions with two of my 2009 wedding clients, and I also helped shoot a stunning wedding in Manhattan on Saturday. What a wonderful city! While I was there, I also did a bit of pleasure shooting while getting lost for an hour or so in the meatpacking district, and also took some photographs in between a session on the Brooklyn Bridge. I can’t wait to share photographs from the sessions soon, but given that I’ve just returned, here are a few rare personal photos that also provided some inspirat...

Eloping in New York CityManhattan to become a mecca of elopement? Maybe! Manhattan’s new Marriage Bureau is, unlike it’s drab predecessor, a 24,000-square-foot wedding palace complete with chandeliers, bronze counters, and marble columns every bit as shiny as a Las Vegas express lane wedding chapel. You can get more than just a $35 marriage license at the Marriage Bureau, however. For $25, a clerk of the city will perform your wedding ceremony, making this (I think) the only one-stop wedding destination in NYC. Then there are the wedding accessories. Nine bucks will buy you an elasticized wedding band complet...
