Sharon and Topper at the , planned wonderfully by .

I’ve asked many couples which photos mattered most to them 10 or more years later, and while I not surprised that most of these photos were moments with loved ones, what did surprise me is that when they *did* select portraits of themselves, it almost never was the one where they looked the most stunning; it was the ones where they were having the most fun together.

That was easy for them.

The Hotel Chelsea has no shortage of history, beauty, and New York character, but what I loved most here was not just the setting. It was the way these two looked at each other, laughed with each other, and seemed fully inside the joy of the day. The kind of portraits (in a seven-minute-total session) that don’t just show what you looked like, but bring back how it felt.

What a thrill to capture Barbara and John’s classic NYC wedding! Babi specifically dreamed of this iconic Park Avenue stroll, and their joy was electric. There is so, so much more to come.

I am beyond excited that this year I am officially offering premium video services alongside the incredibly talented Mati Gonzales, and watching him craft their cinematic story this weekend was amazing. And a massive, heartfelt thank you one of my best friends and phenomenal photographer, Inbal Sivan () for second-shooting, making sure every angle was fantastic.

Every single vendor on this team absolutely crushed it to make this day flawless:

The hardest part of family photography is also my favorite part: the unfiltered reality.. I loved this couple when I shot their wedding, and I loved documenting their growing family. Their reaction — “This is HIM” — is the one I want most.

If you want photos that actually look like your life, but the thought of a full-day documentary shoot makes you want to lie down, I’m rolling out short-form “Morning in the Life” and “Evening in the Life” sessions. We capture the genuine, unposed morning routine (or evening wind-down) and grab a few great traditional portraits while everyone is most ready for it.

Miranda and Vanessa: three of the funniest speeches I’d ever heard, a poker champion, and the most effortlessly calm energy I’ve ever felt at a wedding. Fantastic day, fantastic people, fantastic light.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

A while ago, Jan booked a portrait session with a note: “Maybe it will be our engagement photos someday.”

That “someday” arrived in months. By September, Jan was engaged to Clark—a cancer surgeon and survivor, and an amazing guy. Within eight weeks, we were on 30A for their wedding.

From a sunrise brunch to a candlelit ceremony at , the day was about the power of “reach goals.” We chased the fast Florida sunset for portraits before a after-party.

The Vidaii is traditionally a goodbye, but often it’s just pure, tactile connection. Aneri’s mom reaching out here isn’t a “perfect” image generated by a prompt; it’s a specific, fleeting reality. As we said in our last post, 2026 is about doubling down on the real; recording the actual photons of how you move through the world with the people you love.

Speaking of photons: this is our first test of an HDR gain-mapped image here. It’s finicky tech with plenty of complications, but it offers a massive opportunity to display light exactly as it felt.

In 2007, I announced a satirical Photoshop action that promised to “guarantee a masterpiece” every time. I took that promise literally. The script would select your canvas, open Steve McCurry’s iconic “Afghan Girl,” paste it over your work at 100% opacity, flatten the layers, and save. (As you can see, I have applied it here).

Boom. Your photo was now a masterpiece.
At the time, I was poking fun at the marketing hype of the era and our obsession with overlaying textures to “fix” images. I didn’t realize I was accidentally predicting the future. AI imagery is fun, and I’ve enjoyed playing with it, but it has no more authenticity than my joke from years ago. It creates attractive recreations of other people’s work, completely detached from the actual photons emitted by the real world at a specific moment in time.

There is a valid backlash happening right now, especially from younger generations. They don’t see AI as a fun novelty; they see authenticity being stripped away just as they are trying to record their real, lived experiences.

In 2026, we are doubling down on the opposite of that. We love “pretty” (you work hard to make your weddings look incredible) but “real” matters more. The best wedding photos are the ones that reflect who you actually are, how you move through the world, and what it feels like to be in a room with the people you love enough to gather in one place.

We’re excited to embrace this movement toward radical authenticity. We want to give you photos that are beautiful, yes, but more importantly, are undeniably yours.

Ok, this is AI slop. But it’s about something that actually matters: your hearing.Look, I’ve shot more than 900 weddings. That means I’ve spent literal months of my life standing inches away from speakers at 90–100 decibels. That’s louder than a lawn mower. That’s permanent hearing loss loud. The CDC says at 92 dB, you get about 90 minutes before your ears start taking damage. How long’s your average reception? Two, three hours? Multiply that by hundreds of weddings and yeah … if I hadn’t worn earplugs, I’d be lip-reading by now.And if I don’t have them? I’ll literally tear up a bar napkin, wet it, and jam it in my ear. Because I like hearing my kid’s voice. And I like knowing I’ll still hear it ten years from now.

I'm at a Halloween school event with Gavin right now, and from the number of Demon Hunters here, having recommended it feels like asking someone, Hey, have you heard this great song? It's called Happy Birthday.
