I did this trade with Bella when I was looking for someone to do bridals in New York City with me during a trip to the city (for a seminar with Yervant and Joe Buissink). We had a lot of fun with the session, and really punked it up at the end. A lot of time has passed since I took these photos in May! Sorry it took so long Bella.

Melissa was my fifth JUXTAPOSITION session. Last week, she took us out to Old Stone Church in West Boylston MA and we also explored a few other places… Jungle Jim’s Garden Center, Vivian’s Café, and this little Best Western that looked like it was stuck wayyyy back in the 40s (in a bad way). Of course we stopped to get ice cream at the end.
Here are a few of my session favorites.
This morning I met up with Brittany at the Franklin Park zoo and did the sixth JUXTAPOSITION session in the butterfly house and on the carousel!! Thanks to Brian the awesome carousel operator for rocking our world!

I’ve been going through the first two juxtaposition shoots in anticipation of doing two more in the next two days… came across these lovely images I really love a lot.
Thanks to my “Real Wedding” recent brides Lindsey and Tiffany for introducing me to Worcester MA and Boston Sand and Gravel! We had quite a few adventures and got a huge range of looks from the sessions, ranging from eccentric to classically beautiful.
I was thrilled at a chance to shoot with delightful Long Island wedding photographer Laura Ryan awhile ago. (You’ve already seen some of my favorite images here.) Jenn and Pete did some post-wedding bridals with us all over the place in NYC… I have so many favorites I have to post a bunch…
Seriously, there are a TON of great images. Check out the rest of the session here. The photos are all mixed up, but it’s funny to see the ones where we got a little goofy in the middle-end of the session. Like the one of Pete hanging out of the tree.
Today I had one of the very best bridal sessions I’ve had in awhile, thanks to Long Island’s Laura Ryan who invited me to join her for a very well thought out session in the city. We met up at Grand Central Station, then took the subway to the Met, and frolicked around central park. I generally try to avoid cliché city locations, but with NYC the same place is never the same shot, even if you just wait like 10 seconds it is completely different.
Without a doubt, my session favorite was a collaboration between Laura and I coaching the high school field trip through the central park tunnel around Jenn and Pete. They were so loud and enthusiastic, J + P had no idea there were like 50 kids coming from behind!
Here are some of my other favorites from the day:
