Jenny and Tom got married, and they liked it!

Jenny and Tom exchanged vows at Saint Barnabas Church in the Bronx, NY, and had a beautiful fun-filled reception at the Hyatt Regency in Greenwich, CT. Tom is one of the nicest guys you'd ever want to meet, you can tell from his ever present smile, and Jenny is without saying one of the most beautiful brides on the planet, and a real sweetheart.
The spent their honeymoon in Costa Rica where they zip-lined through the rainforest of the Arenal region. They then headed to the beach in the Playa Conchal section,  and ventured in to the city area of San Jose.
Jenny's advice to any couple getting married...."Don't stress out over the details, and after the wedding don't leave your wedding dress in the hotel room, like I did". Tom say's, "enjoy every detail of the wedding day, it goes by SO fast!"
Congratulations to a real sweet couple!

The wedding of Chantall and Alan in Brooklyn, NY

Chantall and Alan exchanged marrriage vows at Rebar in Brooklyn, NY, November 20th, 2011. This trendy hotspot is in the shadows of the iconic Brooklyn Bridge.
It's always nice to photograph a wedding when the bride looks like a fashion model. Not only are they an attractive couple but they are also very cool. Who plays a Bob Marley tune for their first dance?

Jewish Lawyers Guild induction at The Angel Orensanz Foundation

The Jewish Lawyers Guild is an organization of lawyers and jurists founded in 1962 upon fellowship and faith in tradition. As the organization grew, it began hosting an annual dinner, where it confers awards to jurists who exemplify the qualities of Benjamin N. Cardozo and Golda Meir. Guild activities include lectures and programs throughout the year that are of interest to the legal and Jewish communities, including an annual program in remembrance of the Holocaust. The Guild also hosts an annual Chanukah Party, where gifts are donated and later distributed by members to children who are hospitalized with serious and often life-threatening diseases or conditions. The Guild also funds two scholarships at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law.
This event was held at the beautiful Angel Orensanz Foundation in New York City. The evening also featured the artwork of artist Steven Colucci.

  

Legionaires of Christ dinner/auction

I had the great opportunity to photograph the annual fundraising dinner/auction for The Legionaires of Christ here in New York. I was both inspired and motivated by the speakers of the evening. Steven and Evelyn Auth were the 2011 Friends of the Legion award recipients. The event was hosted by David Wilder, managing director of the Lumen Institute. The live auctioneer was author and auctioneer Lorna Kelly . New York Yankee Mark Teixeira was also in attendance. The brothers that reside and learn at this institution will surely benefit from the generosity of the those attending the event. We may all benefit from the good work that these committed people provide. The food and ambiance were decadent, presented by Abigail Kirsch Caterers  .
