Joe and Laura....and maybe a blue footed boobie....

I got to have the pleasure of making my good friend's Joe and Laura Ruggeri the first wedding I have ever photographed. They flew me out to NYC while the wedding was held in New Rochelle (I love that town!). This is just a few of the images from the day. Thank you so much for taking care of me while there. And for all the people I met, especially those who took part with me in dancing until 2am to a car that was bumping tunes in the reception tent.....I had an awesome time!

I spent about 1 week in NYC after the wedding meeting up with at least one person every day. Met up with ESPN the magazine, Deutsch, DDBO, Oglivy & Mathers, DDB, Paper magazine, The Bonnier Corporation, and Devito / Verdi. Meetings were awesome. Have some really amazing opertunities in the works right now. I am going to wait and if it all starts to work out then I will talk more about it. Super exciting though.

After the business side of NYC, I got to have a little fun. Went to see The Colbert Report (my hero), saw my sister-in-laws opening night off broadway show "Everyday Rapture", went museum hopping with John Avelluto from Joe and Laura's wedding, went to Freemans which is quite possibly the best restraunt in Manhattan, got magnolias cupcakes (ahhh!!! so good!), and I got to say hi to everyone at Mark Seliger's studio. It was kind of sad to see that most of the people I knew while there are now gone due to the economy. But it was still a good visit.

I have a lot of things going on in my work life but I will talk about that more as I find out more. In the mean time, yeee hawwwwwww!!!!!
