Matchmaker, Matchmaker! Wedding at the Hotel Carlyle.

This past January, I was thrilled to shoot a wonderful wedding for my longtime client, Sarah. Over the years, I have photographed both her son's bar mitzvahs as well as other family events.

The affair took place at the elegant Hotel Carlyle on the Upper East Side (where Woody Allen and the Eddy Davis New Orleans Jazz Band play every Monday night).

In keeping with this musical theme, iconic actor and singer Theodore Bikel gave a private performance during the reception including a rendition of "If I Were A Rich Man" — which he originally performed in Fiddler on the Roof in 1967. The whole room was enraptured, to say the least. It really was a treat! 

Special thanks also goes to Catering Manager Kevin Huang, who created a lovely day for two terrific people.

The celebration ended with a stunning cake and edible favors of colorful butterfly and bird-shaped cookies supplied by Eleni's New York.

Jen and Art's Wedding

On a crisp and lovely day in December, I was thrilled to work with Jen and Art to photograph their wedding on The Atlantica, the luxury, private yacht on the Hudson River at Chelsea Pier 61.

With the stunning New York skyline as the perfect backdrop, Jen and Art were married by Captain Gordon as the sun set quietly on the top deck of the exclusive ship.

While we cruised New York Harbor, and while the food and wine flowed, entertainment and lighting were provided by Cameryn Entertainment. If you're interested in their services, please call 212-496-8135 and ask for Bonny.

The beautiful event, produced by Bryan Miranda of Entertainment Cruises, included a close view of the Statue of Liberty. We sailed by the iconic sculpture after dinner — a special treat that felt like our own private tour!
