Getting Married at City Hall NYC

Dear Couples,NYC City Hall is one of my favorite wedding venues in the world. Just for the people watching it gets a ten from me. Perhaps you’re a last minute planner, perhaps you go down to the molecule on a spread sheet. In any case, the whole process is very civilized. On the day, after arrival and check in, you get your number, as in a deli-style number. Then, simply pay the fee to the cashier; it’s approximately $30USD. Immediately after your number is called, you sit in the antechamber for the chapel. Once you’re in that room it won’t be long.

Portraits of Suraj Patel

Anybody who knows me knows I don't like getting political. In mixed company, no good can come of it. I keep the discussion on my shoots to general subjects, and questions for my subjects which are relevant to their life.

A Husky and a Baby

I had no idea when I went to my dear friends Chris and Paige's house to meet baby Rowan and shoot their tree that it would be Zuko's last photoshoot. He was listless and not his usual self, but little did I know that the pictures I'd take that day would be the last photoshoot  Zuko would have as the family dog.
