When I work with my clients I have an eye toward making art from their photographs. I do document their weddings and do family portraits, but I try to reach beyond in the same way that I do when I photograph to do art. Here are two triptychs. One recently was sold by June Bateman [...]

Best Man at nine years old. Yes, and one up to the job and beyond. He even performed at the reception with his sister as back up pianist. This was indeed a beautiful summer wedding day in New Hampshire for a wonderful bride and groom. Here are photos of this special young best man.

I have a lot of fun printing with Palladium. The post before this one, done with palladium, is a set of photographs printed together to tell a story. Here are single palladium photographs. The first photographs are from medium format negatives and one is from a 4X5″ negative. Remember that palladium printing is a contact [...]

Portraits needn’t be stiff. I love to let my clients be with each other. This is true, after the wedding ceremony, when the bride and groom can start to relax. A series of portraits, like these, is part of their story. The bride, groom and I picked out this tree and field as the place [...]
Down the hill from the 1800′s church is the Woodland Chapel. A wonderful place, in the quiet of nature, for this marriage ceremony. The day was beautiful and the light in this space called for color for the green of the tall trees and the lovely decorations. I often use black and white, as I [...]

Moment by moment a wedding day is lived in a whorl of excitement. However long the bride and groom plan for this day, to be in it is beyond one’s imagination. I love to be helpful and to be included in the planning. I had met with my clients on site in Bedford, NY before [...]

We all wish that our most important photographs will last so that several generations can have them and appreciate them. This is our histories. Your wedding and the growing up of your children are the photographs you cherish. The best way to know that your photographs will last is to find out if they are [...]

I am doing a lot of thinking lately about how important it is to have printed photographs of your most important moments and life passages. This will be the first post about the subject of putting together your photos to tell stories of your life in an album or box. Just yesterday I showed one [...]

This wedding phrase, for me, is about the transitions we make, especially in entering a marriage. What I like about this tradition is the notion that we don’t need to leave anything behind. It’s there with us as we cross the threshold to our new lives. With Ashley and Scott’s wedding, they married at Ashley’s [...]

Where they live, where she works, where they go to church, where they hang out and the warmth and humor of their families and friends. Elegant and simple decorations and champagne to take home. Partying and dancing and people they love. The ingredients of an amazing wedding. This was Ok and Tim’s day. The ceremony [...]
