One of the most important things when you choose your wedding vendors is picking a photographer you love, that is professional, reliable, and talented! I have a handful of people for various budgets that I’m more then happy to recommend to my clients because I trust them and I know they will take amazing photos and help the day run smooth!

Great photos are not just important for weddings, this photo shoot was my Mother’s Day gift and photo sessions for every occasion would be fine by me! I’m easy to shop for!

All photos taken by the amazingly talented in @ Central Park

Happy Veteran’s Day! Thank you to all who have served and continue to serve. We’ve been so lucky to work with a number of clients who have a military background and we are especially thankful to all of them! This is one of my favorite traditions!!

We always love working with the team from Femina Photo + Design! Those ladies are so much fun and so talented!

Photos in Central Park is always a favorite location of ours and the Femina team lead by Nicole captured the park beautifully even though it was absolutely freezing out!! Check them out!!

Rain or shine... or freezing temps, there is one location in NYC that will never disappoint: Central Park. Samara + Brett's fall wedding kicked off at the 48Lex Hotel where the couple got ready for their big day. After their first look, we headed over to Central Park, bundled up and racing against the clock to create some beautiful images during the last few moments of sun. The cold and wind didn't stand a chance against this amazing couple. Samara + Brett were such troopers moving quickly through Bethesda Terrace, and we couldn't have asked for a better duo! Their ceremony and reception took place at the Loeb Boathouse, and was beautifully touching. It was clear that every person sitting in the room adored this beautiful couple, and it was a honor to be celebrating with them. Wishing a big congratulations (and many warm hugs) to Samara + Brett! And BIG shoutout to Laura & Kelly from Elegant Events by Laura for making their day run so smoothly. We couldn't have asked for a better team to work with!

Kelly and her hubby were so relaxed and gorgeous on their big day and the sun came out just in time for photos and their beach ceremony!

Taylor Lauren Barker is so much fun to work with and I’m still traveling home from this wedding and she’s already got a blog up!!

I know it’s been a little quiet here but we’ve been busy!! Christmas arrived very VERY early this year!! On December 1st at 30 weeks, 10 weeks shy of his February 6th due date, Dominic Anthony Grusky arrived at 1:11am weighing in at a small but mighty 3lbs 8oz!! He’s still in the NICU and the staff there are beyond amazing!! He’s got a little while to go gaining weight and hitting milestones but hopefully he will be home with us soon!! Scroll through and you can see his cheeks get bigger by the week!! He’s a sweet baby and a great eater!! We could not be more thrilled to have him here!! We are still working hard on 2019 and 2020 weddings, but if you get an email from us at 3am now you know why!! Thanks for all the love and support!!

One more! We look similar, and it doesn’t usually take clients too long to realize we are sisters! For the record we both answer to Laura, Kelly, Laurie, and Wedding Planner!
Last summer we found out that one of our photographer friends, was moving down to South Carolina so I kept that in mind when we decided to spend a week in our absolute favorite vacation spot Hilton Head SC!! I knew we had to call her to update our family pictures and to capture some fun memories in our favorite place!! Can’t wait to be back there this summer with Taylor for a our awesome clients wedding!

Happy Birthday to this awesome lady!!! Though she does an awesome job leading her own team on the days we’ve split up and done two different weddings, I much prefer the weddings where we can work as a team! Her attention to detail when putting together decor, and her demeanor working clients and their families and her ability to know what I’m thinking is unparalleled! 😘😘 Have an awesome day!!!!

While the rest of my team and I were checking on and setting up final details at the venue, one team member accompanied the bridal party to this photo spot a few blocks away. The thing about this spot is that it’s actually a pretty small area. On one side some trees and buildings and on the other side the Hudson River and if you are facing downtown the Freedom Tower. Our fabulous photographer was able to make it look like our bridal party was in a pretty big and varied location even though the space was pretty small! An experienced photographer who knows how to work in a variety of locations and in full sun like this is very important!!
