An Untraditional & Evocative Wedding Dress

Recently I photographed a bride in her wedding dress designed by Jenny Packham. I wanted these photographs to be about feeling, to be as evocative and sensual as the dress. Like one of the first women photographers, Julia Margaret Cameron, I intentionally softened the focus to evoke dreaminess. The silk tulle of […]

Simple Can Be So Elegant

Sometimes the spare can be just the beauty we need. Dana Barrow, the florist, who recently did the flowers for a wedding at Castle Hilll demonstrated her superb skill with her arrangements. Such arrangements can only be done by someone with knowledge and appreciation of plants and nature.

Fun and Joy

At Kate and Tom’s wedding the downpour of rain couldn’t dampen their spirits and that of their friends and families. Such joy was expressed throughout the day and night of fun and dance. Their colorful flowers were done by Berthe Cowles. Here are a very few photographs.

Wonderful Way To Keep Your Photos

I offer my clients a wonderful option of the fall-back box for storing and exhibiting their treasured photographs. This box can hold the photographs from your wedding and expand for your maternity, baby and family photographs. The photographs are matted in cotton mats. This cotton paper is archival and the same paper […]

Understanding Museum Quality Photographic Processes

Because I offer platinum/palladium prints in addition to silver gelatin black & white prints to my wedding and portrait clients, I often find that my clients desire to learn more about photographic processes. This past weekend I attended The AIPAD Photography Show at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City. AIPAD stands […]
