Jim and I go way back. In a previous life we worked together designing Swiss Army stuff. He’s a tremendous artist and illustrator (seriously) and has an uncanny ability to find the best food within a  500 yard radius of wherever he is. It’s his gift and his curse.

Jim’s a pretty laid back guy and it takes a lot to get him to show  extremes of emotion. Chamonix is one of this things that just causes him  to explode from his zen-like state into that of a giddy schoolgirl. It  was obvious whenever he talked about her that he loved her more than  just about anything.

And who could blame him. Chamonix is the personification of that  amazing dress – beautiful, elegant, unique, a little offbeat, and  completely awesome.

Their day was the personification of the two of them – photos in various parts of New York City, a wonderfully intimate venue, and the most amazing cookies I’ve ever had in my life (and trust me when I say I’m a connoisseur). I  was thrilled and honored to be there and couldnt be happier for them.

I recently had the chance to photograph the wedding of Emily + David at the beautiful Valley Green Inn.

Their day was a reflection of them – laid back, down to earth, and a  lot of fun. If you don’t believe me, check out the slideshow below!

When I first met Payal + Nathan at their home in DC last year I knew I had found a special couple. The story of their first meeting was simply too amazing.

It all started when they lived in the same apartment building. One of those large apartment buildings where you can go years without meeting all of your neighbors. They both lived there, unaware that within those walls was the person they would marry.

One day, Payal was in the process of moving out. Nate saw her and took a chance at fate. He asked her out in the last minutes on the last day of her living in the same building. The rest, as they say, is history.

Their wedding day was a reflection of them. Two beautiful ceremonies (and a seemingly endless string of outfit changes, makeup touchups, and hair styling, reflected their culture and backgrounds). Two groups of families and friends coming together to celebrate a couple that fate had smiled upon. Two people I’m honored to know.

Oh, and the staff at Springfield Country Club did a great job the entire time – no small feat given the length and complexity of the day.
