Just returned from a wedding of Dorothy and Robby, a young couple in Brooklyn. Here’s just one of the fun moments… Unseen to you is the photographer (yours truly), standing tall in the back of a Cooper Mini. We are driving and moving. [...]

Here are some fun Mexican ladies enjoying themselves and shaking some Stars of David. I’ve just covered a wedding of a Jewish bride marrying el compañero from Mexico. What a loving couple! Ceremony held at a Catholic church, under a chuppah.

I’ve persuaded Zena, whose wedding I am shooting in October, to have a pre-wedding bridal session, solely dedicated to her beauty and being a bride. As a main advantage, I had about 2.5 hours of unrushed and relaxed studio-quality photography, filled with my normal posing “adventure” and lighting manipulation.
We started by the window with all-natural [...]

Well, here is my daughter Evelyn, getting dressed for her first day of first grade in a new school. My country-fellows would recall a vintage song, flowers, and a ceremonial gathering in a schoolyard. Here in the States, nonetheless, Evelyn and we got our share of the triple excitement, along with nostalgia and imminent [...]
