How about a wedding with this view?


Well my friend Jason Groupp was hired to shoot a wedding at the Pegasus Room on the 64th floor of Rockefeller center. When he called me to see if I could, along with Luke Walker, help him shoot this wedding, I jumped at the chance.
It is always great to be a second photographer at a wedding because you have the opportunity to take more chances and to look for photo opportunities from different angles than the main photographer. However, Jason's just too good and it's hard to find these angles...
You never stop learning, and shooting with your friends who are great at what they do, is an invaluable experience. So thank you Jason and Luke!
And Jason what a beautiful wedding it was, wouldn't you say?

-The LVHRD crew

had their party at the studio tonight. To be invited to a LVHRD party you have to be on the "specially" selected guest list; the list then gets a text message 4 hours prior to the event telling them where the "secret" location of the party is.


What kind of party is this you ask?
well...

Imagine lots of dancing and blow up dolls

The guest list is so exclusive that Pedro came to the party...

even amateurs are welcome...

especially chicken dancers!

The cowboys and indians are left on the sidelines though...

The show and party are so entertaining that even my good friend Michael Conlon the "director of operations" here at the studio stayed for the show (my friends get the VIP view from the loft)
Over 200 people came to the party but only one came up to me to praise my red tuxedo shirt (it's a lot cooler than what you are imagining... really) so here is a picture of my new friend Jen the psychologist (whom truth be told has great taste!).

And here is La Presidenta of the 10th floor association Miss Lipton playing with herself.

A NEW YORK WEDDING...

"Do you think that if we gave you two and a half hours to shoot some fun pictures around midtown we would get some nice shots?" Remie and Oliver said to me.
-They had me at hello.

"our first dance is a salsa song... We've been taking classes"
-Again they had me at hello.

A week before the wedding they wanted to have brunch with me to go over the photography for the wedding.
I was theirs!
How could I not love these guys?
Every meeting was great and I felt more and more connected to them and their wedding. And during the wedding the maid of honor said to me that even though it was halfway through the wedding day she felt like she had known me for the longest time. Well I felt like they were all friends of mine.

Funny enough, I thought that since most of our correspondence was handled by Remie that she would be the picture seeker.
But Oliver has a deep secret that was unveiled that day....



Well the shoot around midtown went so well that several people at Grand Central came up to me to ask me if this was a real wedding or if it was for a magazine!






Another beautiful church to add to my list:



The first dance gets underway:


They even had time for games!

Thank you Remie and Oliver for being such great sports. The whole around town session is now one of my favorites and I tell all my newest clients about it!!! It was truly quite the experience!
