The Newest Addition to My Family

On June 24th my family welcomed Jace O'Neal into the world. I can't describe the feeling I felt when I walked into the hospital room when I went to visit. My cousin, and proud new father, was holding him in his arms, gazing into his son's eyes with amazement.



I have never seen my cousin look so peaceful as he held his new son. I wanted to tell him how proud of him I was and that all the things that has ever happened to him in his life, lead up to this very moment. Welcome Jace O'Neal, your daddy loves you very much...

Mark & Cheryl's Wedding

I’m so happy to be able to post my newest wedding photo project. Its been weeks of endless editing and post processing but here it is.

Mark & Cheryl’s wedding took place in Paramus, New Jersey at a senior citizens facility, called Pine Rest. This was a perfect setting because Cheryl has worked there for years and invited her patients as special guests to attend her wedding. There were about 120 people present at the ceremony including family and friends of all ages.




It meant so much to Mark to have his son serve as his best man; he was honored to have him by his side.



The couple was surrounded by genuinely good people at their wedding. I snuck this shot of Cheryl and one her patients after the ceremony. I'm not sure what they were saying but think the photo itself shows the connection that Cheryl has with her patients. She was truly happy to have them share in her special day.





After the ceremony, the newlyweds walked over to the reception hall nearby. I wondered what they were thinking and feeling very moment, now that they were pronounced husband and wife. I took this shot because of how into each other day they looked; as if they are only people in the world.


Mark and Cheryl, thank you for granting me the pleasure of shooting your wedding ceremony. It was an exciting experience and I can clearly see the love you share between each other.
