Saint Clements Castle and The Inn at Middletown Wedding

Saint Clements Castle and The Inn at Middletown were the locations for Erin and Damien wedding day. I started my coverage at The Inn of Middletown photographing the getting ready with Erin. We then went to St John Church for a wonderful ceremony. We had rain but that did not stop us from getting a few outside portraits at Saint Clements Castle. I had a great time at the wedding and I wish Erin and Damien continued love and happiness..

Stage 6 at Steiner Studios Wedding in Brooklyn, NY

Stage 6 at Steiner Studios in Brooklyn, NY with Abigail Kirsch Catering was the setting for Miriam and Han’s wedding day. I had the pleasure again to work with Todd Laffler Photography. The day went very fast as we all had an exciting and fun time. I began my coverage photographing Han’s getting ready with the surprising Hello Kitty Socks to go along with Miriam’s hot pink shoes. Eric of Abigail Kirsch Catering was a fantastic host and his attention to detail was second to none. A perfect day.. Continued love to Miriam and Han with safe travels to San Fransisco after your honeymoon. Walter

John Michael Cooper Portrait Session of Hannah and I

I had the honor of having a portrait of Hannah and I done by John Michael Cooper, Altf and his wonderful wife Dalisas.  It was very interesting being on the other side of the camera.  I’m very happy with the results from the portrait session.   Thank you John and Dalisas for taking the time out of your busy schedule.
