Recently, a Japanese family hired Kyo to take some pictures of Nene, their 3-year-old daughter. In Japan, there is a tradition to dress young girls in their best kimonos and take them to the local temple or shrine at age 3, 5, and 7. Since this family lives in New Jersey, there weren’t any Japanese […]
It was raining hard the day of Katie & Zack’s wedding at Battery Garden in New York City. Luckily, it stopped long enough for us to go outside to shoot a few romantic portraits. I’m so glad that we did, because I liked the nice soft lighting and the texture of the wet ground (and we […]
A couple weeks ago, Kyo and I attended the PhotoPlusExpo, one of the photo industry’s largest conventions, at the Javits Center in New York. We were especially interested in finding some new and exciting items to be able to offer our clients – and we found some! Here I am examining the albums at one […]
One of the best things about working in the NYC area is the opportunity to interact with people from such diverse backgrounds and cultures. Having photographed weddings in NYC for more than 7 years, I’ve shot many different types of religious ceremonies. This wedding was the first time I ever shot a Lao ceremony, though. […]
I had the great honor to meet and document Elisa, who was just 5 hours old! Her mom, Maria, was doing really well. Elisa was 6 lbs., 2 oz., so she was a tiny little baby. Her peaceful demeanor made us all happy. Big brother Isaac was excited to meet his new sister, too. Copyright © 2009, […]
I got an assignment to photograph Christie & Philipp’s wedding for ELLE. They had their ceremony and reception at the stunning Oheka Castle on Long Island. As you can see, Christie had lots of positive energy and was fun to shoot. I enjoyed working with their wedding planner, Gina from Long Island Wedding & Event Planners Boutique. Copyright […]
Kyo has photographed lots of fun celebrities at various corporate events over the years, and so we decided to put a few of those shots on our new Corporate Events page. For instance, here’s a shot of Isabella Rossellini — she must be one of the most down-to-earth, naturally expressive women on the planet. But […]
We posted our ad on The Knot on Friday. It was hard to find the right text to encapsulate ourselves in 45 words or less. So we ended up letting one of our clients do the talking. Here’s the direct link to the ad: http://www.theknot.com/kl_vendordetail.html?id=259372&=&vendorsearch=Y^Y^Y&MsdVisit=1&vendorsearch=Y&market=073&category=PHO&keyword=NEW%20JERSEY Please let us know what you like or don’t like about […]
On Tuesday evening Kyo and I went to The Knot’s Fall industry party at Dolce Basking Ridge, a contemporary event space and retreat near the quaint town of Basking Ridge. It was organized by The Knot’s New Jersey sales managers Josette Reilly and her colleague Mara (I hope I have her name correct — unfortunately I didn’t […]
The High Speed Chase for the Cure is a fund-raising event for the Cancer Institute of New Jersey, started by a group of police officers to honor one of their colleagues who had lost a battle with cancer. I always enjoy photographing events like this, where people get together to exercise, have fun, and support […]
