This fall we will be photographing Alyssa & Josh’s wedding in upstate NY. With both Alyssa and Josh being actors, you can say camera shyness was never an issue. I am totally in LOVE with these images! With wardrobe packed into a suitcase, we headed for the beach at Paradise Cove, in fabulous Malibu. The trip was not all work, after the shoot we enjoyed oysters (my girlfriend Farrah taught me that you only have oysters in months that have the letter “r” in them) and cocktails on the beach. Josh also taught me a little trick that I will be using a lot in the future. To avoid squinting in photographs, close your eyes and face the sun like you are tanning, for 30 seconds. This lets your eyes adjust, without watering or squinting afterwards. Alyssa is finishing a role as a brunette, and once it is a wrap, she will return to the life of a blonde!

Josh recently had the lead in a Disney pilot called "Sunday Sunday Sunday," which would have aired on the Disney channel but didn't get picked up by the network. Josh has also appeared on "Criminal Intent” and starred on "Without a Trace" in last year's Christmas episode as the Guest Lead.

Alyssa is finishing up filming an independent feature film called "The Fall of 1980," in which Alyssa is starring as one of the lead roles. Alyssa also appeared on "Trial by Jury" and again as a Guest Star on FOX’s show called "The Jury,", as well as "Guiding Light,"

Both Alyssa & Josh have been Guest Stars on "Law and Order" and have preformed in theatre. Alyssa in "Pride and Prejudice" in NY, and Josh most recently was Off-Broadway in "My First Time."

This past October I had one day & two wonderful couples to photograph! Both couples, Leah & Josh and Julie & Joe, are extremely wonderful clients who are more like friends! When picking days to meet it could not have worked out more perfectly to get together the same day! In the morning, Tony & I met up with Julie & Joe at the Wonderland Pier with their not so tiny puppy "Dory"! We had arrived way before the park had opened & Brian (one of the managers) not only gave us free rein of the park, but also operated any rides we wanted! We really had a great time running around like we were in high school again!

     For Lunch, Tony and I had met up with my sister Emily and my nephew Maddox (19 months). We took a nice walk on the Boardwalk , then stopped at Mack & Manco's for pizza. After lunch we went down to the beach and played "ring around the rosy", one of Maddox's favorites.

     Leah & Josh joined us in the afternoon. After running around Wonderland Pier and taking pictures in the photo-booth, we had a quick change of clothing and then headed to the second location. Leah introduced me to my new favorite location, the Margate Pier! Not only were we running against time, but we were loosing light fast! Once we made it onto the beach, time stood still! The lighting was stunning! With Leah's red hair and the glowing of the sunset it looked like a vintage movie set. They were even willing to go into the cold October Jersey Ocean & I was not far to follow!

Ahhhh, if all days could be filled with laughter, sunny beaches and couples madly in love!
