Aneela and Manish

One of the greatest aspects of being a photographer is the permission to be present and to document some of life's most precious and sacred moments.

I have had the honor to photograph a husband and wife as they work through labor to deliver their first child, a little baby girl as she is baptized in a traditional Greek ceremony, a 101 year old great grandma as she prepares the traditional passover meal with her daughter, her grand daughter and her great grand sons- one of whom is 100 years younger than she. These are just a few of the wonderful occasions that make me feel so honored to be a photographer.

Today I have another one to share with you. A few months ago I was asked to photograph an Indian wedding. I was thrilled at the opportunity and deeply honored to not only document the wedding day, but also to be invited to the ceremonies that preceded the wedding day in preparation for the occasion.

Enjoy.

Meg and Joey Save the Date photo shoot

Meg and Joey are getting married this June. They decided to use their engagement session as a creative way to make Save the Date images! First we headed to the Brooklyn Bridge, but truthfully it was very crowded and hard to get shots without all the tourists in the background. We tried our best and then ended up at a bar to use the ladies room...while quenching some hard earned photo session thirst Meg had the great idea to take some pictures in the bar! And of course, those are my favorites! Great idea Meg!

My absolute favorite shot of the day is this last one. This image speaks so perfectly to Meg and Joey- hanging out, relaxed and of course smiling. And yes, Meg is barefoot- love this couple! We cant wait to shoot their wedding this summer!!!
