Julie and Chris, I had so much fun shooting your Rochester engagement photos at Durand Eastman Beach. Judging from the photos you’d never know there was an angry mob of seagulls circling above :) We made so many amazing photos and I love the fact that a lady bug landed on your big toe!

Hannah & Michael I had so much fun documenting your Artisan Works Wedding, aka the coolest wedding evah! :) I mean seriously… who else can say they had a super fabulous rock-star hairstyle that required a crimping iron, and who else has a bulldog in their wedding party, and who else has wild and unruly wedding guests that storm the dance floor in HAZMAT and Firefighter gear!!? I wish you guys all the best and much love to your friends and families this Christmas!!

I’ve been spending a lot of time Toronto lately and have been meeting some wonderful people and have been making some incredible photographs. I absolutely love shooting headshots in Toronto – beautiful place & beautiful people, can’t go wrong. If you’re interested in pricing and availability for 2011 headshot sessions – please email my booking agent ASAP, as dates are quickly filling up!

Hola everyone – I just returned from an exciting excursion to Chile!
After every wedding season, I like to treat myself to at least one overseas sabbatical and this year the destination was South America!
My girlfriend, a group of Toronto friends and I first absconded to Santiago, where we submersed ourselves in the local culture; traditional Chilean food, everything from empanadas and Parrillada (a grilled assortment of meats, sausages, and entrails) to yummy desserts like Dulce de Leche (caramel-like confection) and home made pistachio ice cream! Needless to say the wines were exquisite – especially the Malbecs.
After a few days in Santiago, we decided to caravan it to Termas de Colina, which is a naturally occurring hot springs nested in the Andes at nose-bleed altitudes – I’ve never seen a bluer sky in my life! The springs were near boiling and incredibly therapeutic – like taking a dip in a hot tub, but with 360 degrees of jaw-dropping mountainous backdrop.
For the last leg of our trip we flew to San Pedro and camped out in the Atacama desert where the view of the stars was so surreal that we were rendered speechless as we stumbled around with our heads aimed straight up repeating the same lines… “no way…” “oh my god…” and my favorite “this has to be a green screen!”…
Under a canopy of infinite and majestically illuminated space, we warmed ourselves around a campfire eating empanadas and coal roasted potatoes . Not even Speilberg could have topped that experience – it’s just something you truly have to see/experience for yourself and I hope you do!

So what does this wedding photographer do during his off season while vacationing places far removed from the chaotic world of NY weddings…?
He shoots a wedding!
That’s right, I was invited to one of the most romantic weddings I’ve attended in my fifteen year career and couldn’t help but bring my camera along so I could capture a small collection of photos and moments for myself.
Paola and Jamie are remarkable people who both hale from extraordinary families – full of humor and hi-jinx I couldn’t help but develop an instantaneous couple crush on these two.
A huge Chilean gracias for all the love, laughter, and memories – I can’t wait to revisit San Pedro with you two!
