Andaz 5th Ave | New York, NY

I’m so blessed to have some of the best clients in the business. I love traveling for shoots and it helps me get to know that client better since we get to spend a few days together rather then just the few hours we get together during the shoot. I’m here preping for Amy + Scott’s session tomorrow but they really went beyond my expectations to make sure I was taken care of during my stay in NYC.

The Andaz 5th Ave is my home for the next 2 nights and to this date haven’t stayed at a hotel as modern and sophisticated with the service and hospitality to match. I felt comfortable and taken care of from the very second I set foot in the hotel. Their seamless and casual check-in was refreshing and I was surprise to come back from scouting Brooklyn and other areas of NYC and see an elegantly plated snack tray and a bottle of wine for the evening. I don’t drink but the gesture was very much appreciated. Don’t worry I had plenty to drink since everything that was in the fridge that was not an alcoholic beverage was complimentary, seriously how awesome is that.

Thank you Amy + Scott for all the thought and preparation you put in on my behalf! I can’t wait for our session tomorrow!

Our Photobook.

We don’t make a ton of them but every time Sarah makes one of these photobooks i’m reminded how simple and beautiful our albums are. It’s so rewarding for Sarah to see the final product after she has put long hours of design, creativity and love into each photobook. Simply stunning.

This is super overdue by now but I wanted to make sure I introduced my sister, Ginger to everyone. When Sarah was pregnant in 2012 I knew then that she was going to want to take a least a year off from working weddings so that she could spend more time at home with Chloe. In combination with the decision to take on fewer clients and having to train and find another associate photographer 2012 was a really stressful one for us. But Ginger was there for us. She stepped in not having any professional training in photography and took to my hands on training and accepted my criticism at times and has just become an amazing associate photographer. Any professional will tell you that when you have a great 2nd shooter it really makes a huge difference. Just having someone who you can trust in and who will be covering your back at all times make the stress of working weddings so much more fun and relaxed.

Thank you so much Ginger for your help and support the past 2 years! I can’t wait to see what 2014 has in store for you! Sarah + I are supper appreciative of you!
