Tim + Jessica tied the knot on Long Island City's waterfront, then moved the party to Brooklyn Winery for the reception. One of my favorite parts of this day was when the bride and her bridesmaids went around the corner to a local ice cream shop for cones to cool down from the city heat! Even though a wedding can be a bit stressful with all the logistics of the day, moving from one location to the next, it was nice to see this couple not take things so serious and have some fun with their portrait session!
Ben + Laura tied the knot at Pearl River Hilton. This couple had a rad first dance, which was completely choreographed. They worked it and the crowd went crazy! So much fun to capture. Cheers to these cool kids :)
Everswoon couple, Christine + Michael, tied the knot at Bowery Hotel! Music was selected by the bride. Be sure to watch the end... this couple broke out some serious dance moves (which is one of my favorite parts to film during a wedding!).

Elaine and Hugo are tying the knot in September, but before their big day they wanted to celebrate their engagement. This duo met as kids. They attended different schools while growing up in NYC, so everyday they would meet at the W. 4th St station to say hi and wish each other a great day before heading off in different directions. So for their engagement session we went back to where it all began and had some fun filming throughout the subway stop. We finished the day in good ol' DUMBO; taking advantage of all of the beautiful murals throughout the streets. Take a look below at their engagement video they used on their wedding website.
Took a trip to LA to film Kitty + Aaron's wedding. This cute couple met on New Years Eve. Got engaged on the following New Years Eve. And finally tied the knot on this NYE. It was one heck of a party. A night to remember and one of my favorite videos I've made to date. (ps. dear universe, more weddings in California please.)
WOWZA! Do I have a video for you. I went to THE coolest party last week... I'm still not sure if I was even cool enough to be at this party - that's how cool it was, ya know? The ladies of Patina Rentals threw their annual, Patina Roller Jam, and asked meeee to film it. The party went down in a massive, industrial warehouse called The 1896 (ps. from snooping on their instagram, Beyonce films her music videos here, NYFW has runway shows here, it's pretty much the best kept secret, but not so secret, warehouse in the neighborhood). The night consisted of The Skate Truck handing out roller skates (gold glitter roller skates, ppl!), free tattoos from Greenpoint Tattoo Co., as well as not-so-permanent tattoo by Tattly (brian and I went with matching "love" arm tattoos). People boogied down to music by the raddest DJ in Brooklyn, Chances with Wolves. But the star of the show was The Color Condition ya'll. Holy shit. Patina teamed up with the crew, who is based in Texas, on the most visual decor/art installation/I don't know what else to call it (that can be rented for weddings!!) I've ever seen. And if all that wasn't enough to get 200+ people out to bushwick on a week night, there was free food from Roberta's and Cool Haus. One of the more interesting things I discovered that night was, The Bosco - which is a photo stand that automatically prints your instagram photos that were tagged by the hashtag of the night #patinarollerjam. Brides and grooms should definitely get more info on that biz for their big day - so techy + cool! The crazy talented duo, Chellise and Michael of Chellise Michael Photography were there to also capture all the festivities (side note, who knew Michael was amazing at roller skating while simultaneously taking photos with a fancy DSLR camera. wow). Below are Chellise Michael Photography's photos with my video recap. What do you think? Don't you want your reception to be as exciting as this party?! (if you said yes, then please - choose me to film your big day)

In case you missed it, The Green Building and Brooklyn Based hosted their Spring wedding par-tay, Wedding Crashers this past weekend. We had the opportunity to meet a ton of cool, newly engaged couples and network with some incredibly talented vendors. Below is a quick recap video of the day.
