Recent holiday photo shoot for my friends at America’s VetDogs and Guide Dog Foundation. The first group of photos will be used in social media posts, websites, emails, and print pieces.

The Hamlisch Awards were hosted and cosponsored by Queens College. The awards celebrate young emerging composers from around the world and were created to honor the late Marvin Hamlisch, paying tribute to his legacy as both an artist and an advocate for emerging musicians.
My goal as a NYC based Event Photographer is to photograph the moments that matter. In doing so, I want to photograph the Who, What, Where, When, and Why of the event. My photos, in order to be successful, must show excitement, energy, and purpose throughout the event. These are the characteristics of great photos. Event photographers are hired to produce images that can be used in marketing and advertising materials. NYC’s best event photographs are hired because their images tell an interesting and engaging story, and get people interested in an event.
Started in 2013, the awards began as the Marvin Hamlisch Film Scoring Contest, presented by the Washington, DC-based nonprofit CINE. Hundreds of composers from around the world submitted their work to be selected as an emerging media composer. In 2019, the Marvin Hamlisch International Music Awards expanded their contest’s impact, adding three additional categories. Emerging composers can now apply for the following three categories: composition for musical theatre, film scoring, classical composition and jazz composition.
The evening included celebrities from across the media landscape. Stars such as the former New York Yankees Manager Joe Torre, home decor star and tv host Martha Stuart, Paul Schaffer, Robert Klein, and several others.
The STG Casino Royale evening, hosted at Morton’s Steakhouse, benefitted SuitUp. SuitUp helps disadvantaged young people learn about and experience real world business. Students visit and compete at real NYC companies in a SharkTank like business presentations.

At the end of the evening, guest cashed out there their winnings to win terrific prizes; televisions, computers, home wear, and gift cards.

Recent headshot session for Douglas Elliman’s North shore of Long Island agent Parsa Samii. The goal of the shoot was to capture Parsa’s warmth, genuine character, and personality. Outside of real estate, Parsa is an incredible tennis player, very passionate tennis coach, and an amazing dad to two amazing kids. Prior our session, I learned a lot about Parsa so I could capture his true identity. I wanted to capture the things that make Parsa unique. We included a tennis racquet in several photos, his kids, and his positive attitude.
Alina and Kris knew their wedding was going to be simple, elegant, and stress free: there would be no bridesmaids and groomsmen, there would be only close friends and family, and there would be plenty of delicious dessert. Their wedding at the Nassau Inn, located in the heart of Princeton, New Jersey adjacent to Princeton University proved to be the perfect venue for their fall wedding.
Just family and a few friends is what Kris and Alina said. 45 people people at their wedding in Princeton, NJ was the perfect recipe for a great time with their closest family members and friends. A great weekend for a wedding and a great place for a wedding. The hotel, weekend activities for guests, and the venue were all perfect.
Venue: Nassau Inn
Church: MOGOC
