JP Wedding Photography

I just got back from a really rad weekend out in Montauk. I headed out for a couple days to shoot Ellen and Greg’s wedding, and it really was an amazing event. It was tons of fun to be back out on the east end, and these guys were a blast. They had some really lovely touches, like a photobook of the Hamptons for their guests to sign, and a old school photobooth. They had me out the day before the wedding to shoot the rehearsal dinner, and I’m so glad that happened. Not only was it a chance to shoot some lovely pictures, but it was also a chance to meet their family members and closest friends, which really helped give me direction on the day of the wedding. On the wedding day, Tom joined me and he really rocked it.

I’m back to New York and excited for a super busy June. I’m going to be on the road a ton this month, shooting in different spots in New York, and I’m glad to see that the summer’s finally hit the city. Ian and Julia were such an awesome couple to kick the summer off with. I headed with them up to Blue Hill at Stone Barns. That’s Dan Barber’s restaurant about 30 miles upstate. For a lot of people, the reputation of the food here is the draw. But on top of that, the location is amazing, and I especially loved Ian and Julia’s outdoor ceremony.

They walked each other down the aisle.

Soup shots.

That’s asparagus covered in prosciutto and dipped in sesame seeds on the right there. Yes, awesome.

As the sun set everyone moved inside to finish the meal and the celebration.

I know that things have been a little quiet around here. A couple of recent weddings that I shot are under consideration for being published in national magazines which means I’ve got to hold off before I can put them up here. (I’m bummed too not be able to publish them right away, but hopefully I’ll have some tear sheets to post down the line!).

I’ve also been keeping busy with some non-wedding photography stuff: A recent shoot for the University of Colorado snowboard team, prepping for a job in Bhutan for Health Volunteers Overseas, a lookbook for a lifestyle store opening in my neighborhood, and another shoot for Indelible Dance.

In the meantime, though, the blog world doesn’t sleep, and I’ve been really thrilled to be hearing from a lot of different blogs about publishing my work. Recently I’ve been on Once Wed, Brides, Ruffled, Merci, La Belle Bride, and Hi-Fi. Thanks guys!
