Maria + Daniel's Wedding | The Yale Club, NYC

It was a privilege to be part of Maria and Daniel's wedding as a young photographer, given their vast accomplishments in their respective fields of work. Maria is an mathematician and professor at Columbia University and named one of the “Brilliant 10” by Popular Science Magazine for her breakthrough work on graph theory, while Daniel is a violist and long-time faculty at the the renowned Julliard School in New York. Within the union of such phenoms, a story of love and compassion was shared at a wonderful celebration - a true joy to witness and document.

The event was held in the spectacular Yale Club in Midtown Manhattan, kicked off by a traditional ceremony with touches of classic elegance. We had a chance to do some wonderful portraits on the rooftop amidst the backdrop of a historic venue, surrounded by fellow musicians and friends. This wedding was a special one for me, as it yielded a number of incredible photojournalistic images that I submitted to the Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA) for award consideration.

Congratulations to the both of you!!

Preview: Esther + Danny's Engagement

I've known Esther and Danny separately since my college days, and it was wonderful hearing about their engagement and wedding! It's always great to work with old friends, especially for Esther and Danny - two strands of friendships coming together. Here's some of my favorite shots from our portrait session this week in New York!
