African Wedding Day 1 – Lagos, Nigeria

December 14, 2009 – 12:53 am

Thanksgiving is my favorite of all holidays.  Normally I wouldn’t miss it for anything.  But when I got a call from my friend Olivier Kpognon inviting me to be a part of an elite team to photograph a 2-day high profile African wedding in Lagos Nigeria, how could I say no?!!

On the guestlist were 2000 people including the 36 governors of Nigeria and the Nigerian President himself.  The traditional Nigerian ceremony, known as the engagement, would take place on Thanksgiving day and the wedding itself with Catholic ceremony and reception afterward was planned for Saturday.

I was ready for a big challenge and an exciting week in West Africa.  Here are a few of my favorite images from day one of the event, the traditional engagement ceremony.

Thanks, Pink Cake Box

December 1, 2009 – 1:15 pm

A few images of the gorgeous cake from Emily and Walt’s wedding last August were featured on the Pink Cake Box’s blog.  I got an email from Jesse at Pink Cake Box asking if I’d be ok with them using the photos.  I was thrilled, of course.  It just so happened that I was on my way out to Pennsylvania for a wedding that day and was able to hand deliver a CD of images to Jesse and Anne.  Their shop is right off Route 80 out in central NJ.  Great meeting you all and thanks for your kinds words!

Nicola & AJ – Central Park Proposal

November 30, 2009 – 10:58 am

AJ called me last week with an excitement in his voice. He was planning on surprising Nicola with a trip to NYC and another surprise, he was planning on popping the question.

I helped him pick a spot and planned the meeting time. I friended him on Facebook so I could see a few photos of the two of them. I wanted to be sure I had the right guy!

Come 1:30 on Saturday I was in my place at Cherry Hill and my heart was beating. Not sure if I was more nervous or excited. AJ walked by holding Nicola’s hand and discretely waved to me with the other. Now I was sure I had the right couple.

I followed the two of them to a quieter spot where AJ promptly got down on one knee.

Over the next hour we made some fun portraits of the newly engaged couple. None of us could stop smiling the whole time.

Congrats you guys! I’m so grateful to have been a part of such a special day.

Sarah & Steve – Engagement Brooklyn

November 16, 2009 – 4:33 pm

Almost as much as I love photographing weddings, Engagement shoots are a close second. Sarah & Steve met me under the Manhattan Bridge a couple of Saturdays ago and we got to know each other a bit as we made some fun portraits. They didn’t waste time scheduling their E-Session with me, their wedding isn’t until next November! Only 12 months away, but they go quickly when you’re planning a wedding!

Kristine & Steve – Central Park Engagement

October 30, 2009 – 12:26 pm

Steve called me two weeks ago from Ohio and asked if I would photograph him proposing to Kristine in Central Park. She was coming to NYC for a business trip and he was planning a surprise. I thought this was so cool. We were to meet at the Besthesda Fountain and I was going to capture the proposal and then make some fun portraits of the two of them in the Park.

Well the proposal happened without me due to the rain we had, but the three of us met a couple days later and had a great time making photos. Congratulations Kristine & Steve!
