Mary Beth & Chaz Wedding

We had such a great time photographing Mary Beth and Chaz’s wedding at Pelham/Split Rock Golf Course up in Westchester.  This was one of those absolutely perfect fall days where the temperature was just cool enough to keep you from overheating while being warm enough to still feel like summer.  You could get a hint of the fall breeze which made the day that more bitter sweet knowing the season change was just around the corner.  But for the moment the summer was holding out just long enough for Mary Beth and Chaz’s wedding.

I have the pleasure of knowing Mary Beth and Chaz from my theatre days when I did some work for the Public Theatre in Central Park.  Seeing the transformation of both of them from everyday theater carpenters to Bride and Groom was a great thrill for me.  I find I’m often in the position of spending a day with and getting to know the bride and groom, working on their pictures for weeks after the wedding, and then meeting them afterwards slightly surprised that they aren’t wearing the same clothes I’ve come to know them as wearing.  Mary Beth and Chaz had the opposite effect on me.  I almost expected Mary Beth to be wearing steel-toed boots under that dress.

Ashley and I were so happy to have had the opportunity to be your photographers Mary Beth and Chaz.  Wishing you the best of luck in the years to come.

Headshots

I had a great time working with Luciane to help her update some headshots last week.  These are the two poses she chose and I think she looks great.  A big shout-out to Sharon of SB Beauty for doing a wonderful job with hair and makeup.

Ali & Garrett Wedding

We had such a great time working with Ali and Garrett and their wedding at Huntingdon Valley Presbyterian Church in Huntington Valley, PA.  Ali and Garrett come from different backgrounds and different geographic areas, but are two of the nicest people you’ll ever meet.  Garrett is a Presbyterian pastor in Ashland, KY and Ali is an Assistant Stage Manager on Broadway here in New York City.  At first glance you’d wonder, with two completely different backgrounds, how did these two find each other?  I can tell you, if you spend more than five minutes with these two, you would see they are both quick to laugh, super friendly, and they have this spark when they smile at each other which makes the room light up somehow.

The reception was at The Brookside Manor in Feasterville, PA which was the perfect place to end the evening.  It was a long drive back to NYC for us but we left happy.  Congratulations again Ali and Garrett.  Wishing you all the best in your new life together!
