Engagement Shoot: Michael & Katrina

"Behind Old Doors" - Chic Elegance, in Carroll Gardens

Patch.com collaboration with the great Sylvie Flatow. Words by she, photos by me.
Photos are of Anthony Cavagnuolo, my very first barber (back when I had hair), and owner of Chic Elegance - a classic Carroll Gardens hair and nail salon that's been operating since 1979.

Fort Point, Boston Engagement Shoot

I shot up to Boston earlier this week to link up with Matt & Adrienne, whose speakeasy themed wedding I'll be photographing this Summer (can't wait). We decided to shoot in the cool, up-and-coming Fort Point neighborhood of Boston (kind of like the Dumbo of Beantown). I obliged to meet them at the bar where they first met, aptly titled Drink, to kick off the photo session (and down a perfectly executed cocktail, thanks to one of Drink's highly skilled mixologists). As I was told days before, the bar would be incredibly dim-lit. Being darker than I had even expected, I packed up my gear, put our alcohol aside, and took a stroll around the neighborhood before the sun would finally disappear for the night. Here's a little sampling of our photo session:

Flatow Collaboration # 5 - Court Pastry

Check out Sylvie Flatow's new piece for Patch.com. It'll leave you feeling nostalgic of the good ol' days and yearning for the deliciousness of one of Brooklyn's best Italian bakeries. Photos by moi.

International Culinary Project : Amsterdam

Spent a long weekend in the Netherlands enjoying all that is Amsterdam - which obviously is not limited to merely "coffee shops" and prostitutes. The food scene rivals any other major city, and I have a few pictures to prove it!

While this is a project sparked by my own personal interests, some of these photographs will be featured in an undisclosed publication that will be announced in due time.

Next stop, Peru...
