New York Yankees - 2009 World Champions - Get Fired UP!!!

Greetings Dear Friends :)

With a 7-3 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 6 last night in the Bronx, the New York Yankees secured their 27th World Championship...the most by any professional American sports team. I think that that's something to smile about, these Yankees agree!!!

Whoot Whoot!!!














Yogi in the limelight...not related to the theme of this post, but pretty cool, huh??

Yolanda & Nico - Lake Tahoe, CA Wedding

Foodie:
Wikipedia defines 'foodie' as an informal term for a particular class of aficionado of food & drink. Based on what I know about food and drink, Yolanda & Nico are foodies...to a tee. Their European themed, cross cultural celebration blended Yolanda's Italian heritage and Nico's French roots with tasteful elegance and...well, I'm getting hungry :) Man was the food AMAZING!!!

Cheers, Salute and Salut to my dear friends Yolanda & Nico. Thank you for sharing your lives with us so genuinely. It was an incredible honor. There was no place else on Earth that we would rather have been that day. ...and thank you to Margie Lockwood and the staff at the Fitzhaven in Lake Tahoe, CA for being so good at what you do. Kelli Marsh came along for this one and added an invaluable perspective to the day. I am, again, blown away by you :)

New York Yankees - Mariano Rivera - Poster Night 2009

Greetings Dear Friends,

The day is almost here...and I am ecstatic to share these images with you. Pinch me...

Tomorrow night the New York Yankees square off against the Kansas City Royals in the Bronx. Why is this relevant??? It's worth mentioning (and blogging about) because it is also 2009 Poster Night at Yankee Stadium. 18,000 posters were printed and will be distributed to all fans 14 and under in attendance. ...and the coolest thing about all of this...

THE POSTERS FEATURE AN IMAGE OF MARIANO RIVERA THAT I CAPTURED DURING A RECENT PHOTO SHOOT AT THE STADIUM WITH HIM!!!
...exciting indeed :)

A word on Mariano: He is as gracious as he is talented...which is quite a statement considering he is arguably the greatest closing pitcher in the history of the game. He is patient and cordial and even brought himself to laugh at my bad jokes...and if you've ever worked with me before, you know how bad my jokes can be! I never once sensed a hint of pretension, just a dude, like any other. The 30 minute session was a blurr as I was forced to shoot in the Yankee Press Room...a nightmare for photographers as it is more visually confusing than a Las Vegas Casino floor. Scrambling to make the best of it...here are a few of my favorites.

A hearty, heart-felt, forever-owe-you one thank you to Mr. Michael Macchione and the entire staff at Catch 24 Designs in NYC for opening this door for me. I hope that this is the first of many collaborations together :)

THE OFFICIAL NEW YORK YANKEES MARIANO RIVERA 2009 POSTER NIGHT poster:

...and here are a few outtakes, including the last image which I captured from the AMAZING seats we enjoyed for that night's game against the Oakland A's...4th row behind the plate!







mike 'n mo. goodtimes. mike is responsible for the poster design. he also let's me squat at his house while in nyc. ...he's pretty cool.




Game starts at 7pm...Tuesday August 29, 2009. Hit me up if you are heading out to the Boogie-Down Bronx!!!

Finger Lakes Wedding Photographs - Danielle & Richard

Upstate NY NEVER gets enough credit. Those of you who have visited, lived or passed through Adirondack Park, the Finger Lakes Region, Niagara Falls, etc etc know exactly what I am talking about. Wide open spaces to explore. Hills, grass, water, wine...a far cry from the perception that New York State is New York City.

Danielle and Richard know just what I am talking about. It was a real treat to spend a weekend NYS Wine Country with two amazing people and the people who matter most to them. With a perfect setting and a perfect couple (and a whole lot of love), something beautiful had to come of it. I hope that these images convey how full our hearts were on this day.

These are just a few of my favorites, chosen at random.

much love to two of my favorite people.

...and a special thanks to my favorite-ist person - Kelli Marsh who once again brought her 'a' game and left nothing on the table :)





















Thanks for tuning in y'all. I hope that your summer/fall transition is going smoothly. If you'd like to see more images from this event, swing by my facebook page by clicking here or shoot the studio an email at:

...and request information for viewing the entire event.

That's all for now dear friends. MAJOR updates forthcoming...swing by again soon, will ya??

Greetings Beautiful Blog People :)

I simply cannot find the words to describe how grateful I am to have had the opportunity to work with this fantastic couple on their most special day.

Jenn & Brandon - you overwhelm me with your kindness, enthusiasm, trust and love. I am blessed to have you both in my life and better for having witnessed the bond that you share :)

These are just a few images from your unforgettable day.

A very special thanks to Kelli Marsh for once again knocking it out of the park. I've included a few of her images here because they ROCK! ...and a very, very special thanks to the Vacanti and Marineau families for treating us so incredibly well.
