Lili and Tom Wedding Celebration

I love this story. Lili was the founding principal at the high school I work at. She was very instrumental in getting my feet under me early in my career. After my second year at the school, Lili was leaving to pursue a path that would allow her to make a bigger impact on the world. At her going away party, I was casually taking pictures for fun and captured a few that she treasured. One happened to be of her and her eventual husband, Tom. Well, when time came for them to plan a wedding, they contacted me about shooting and I was thrilled to do it. In the process of planning the wedding, many changes were taking place and causing added stress to their lives. So on a trip into the Berkshires, they made a spur of the moment decision and had an impromptu wedding right there. No caterers, no band, no decorations, not even friends or family; it was just the two of them and their officiant. Very romantic indeed. So instead of a wedding ceremony, we photographed their wedding celebration with friends and family. For the full gallery, click here.

Elaina and Erik Wedding

A couple of years ago, I took some photographs of a relative of mine and her fiance. After much anticipation, Elaina and Erik have finally gotten married. In an midday outdoor ceremony on one of the hottest days of the summer, there was nothing but love and joy in the air. Despite the heat, it was the most wonderful ceremony I had ever attended.

Tamar and Farhad Wedding

Sometimes, when you plan an event things change at the last minute. Tamar and Farhad had such a scenario. They planned out their wedding and at the last minute, their photographer cancelled. I work with Tamar's sister in law and she suggested calling me. With less than 24 hours notice, I accepted the job knowing only the details that could be relayed via a text message. Thankfully, everything worked out and the couple was quite pleased. To see the images, click here.
