Monica & Tom December 13, 2008 at Raphael Wine, Long Island

With Monica & Tom's video I was trying to achieve a silent film look but at the end of the video there's some audio. Also, in the end Laura Ryan, a great photographer, is shown shown photographing the wedding and we feature her shot below taken at this moment. Another great note, Monica's dress was hand-made by her good friend!

Liz & Stephen August 2, 2008 at St. Brendon Church

Liz and Stephen invited me to come to Boston to document their wedding. I used to live in Boston to go to Museum School. It was nice to visit the city :)
Their wedding was full of stylish R&R/rockabilly flavor. The theme pattern/color of their wedding was leopard and red. Motown band played at the reception was amazing! The soundtrack they chose included Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, Sam Cooks, The Pogues, Polyphonic Spree and so many other good music! Here's a clip of Stephen's Irish dad talking Celtic to our camera. He is quite a character.
