I love experimenting with toy cameras when photographing personal projects. I am fascinated by the architectural characteristics that make each neighborhood distinguishable in New York City. The color images below were captured on the world’s smallest 35mm camera and the black & white images were captured on my Holga. Love both of these plastic, rudimentary cameras. These images were taken in the Bay Ridge neighborhood of Brooklyn.

Congratulations to Megan and Jay! They were married on a unseasonably warm, rainy day in December. I captured this wedding for my amazing, beautiful (and quite-pregnant-at-the-time!!!) friend, Yazy. Yazy and John are the husband and wife team that make up YazyJo Photography, wedding photographers based in Chicago. I met Yazy at a photography workshop in Italy in 2009 and we have been dear friends ever since. In fact, I’ve formed an amazing bond with a lovely group of women (and a few men) from this group and I love having these friends all around the country. Over the years we’ve had reunions, shot weddings together and partied in Vegas at WPPI (no links for that- what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas!). Love these girls so much!
When Yazy called me, I was happy to step in and shoot this wedding with John. Yazy was a total trooper and even at 38 weeks pregnant she tagged along for an 11+ hour day with John and I. Now Yazy and John have a precious new baby girl, who I can’t wait to meet!
I wanted to share a few images from this magical wedding day. I’m looking forward to more 2012 weddings in Chicago with my own clients, and maybe Yazy will let me shoot with her again! :)

I had the amazing opportunity to second shoot this wedding for Scott of Scott Andrew Studios, an extremely talented film photographer from the San Fran/Napa area of California. I absolutely love second shooting whenever I get a chance. It’s hard during the spring, summer and fall when I’m so busy with my own weddings, but in the winter, I always try to shoot a few with my photographer friends! I loved this elegant winter wedding at Studio 450, a super chic venue in Chelsea. This space was absolutely stunning! Here are a few of my favorite details from the day. Thank you Scott for inviting me to shoot with you. Be sure to check out Scott’s amazing work on his blog!
