Last month I photographed a Facebook event for the Laura Mercier located in the midtown Bloomingdale’s. Customers would receive a makeover and a complementary headshot (that’s where I come in!) that they could share with friends via social networking sites such as Facebook, which would in turn help promote the brand.

During my time there, I was often mistaken for an employee, but because of that, I eventually learned where the restrooms, perfumes and handbags were. Below is one of the last photos we took of the sweet Laura Mercier staff members that I spent the two days with.

Last month, I again assisted George Delgado for a gala event for the AIGA, hosted at the Waldorf Astoria in NYC. It was definitely one of the more “fun” events, complete with a red carpet installation and a silent auction right before the reception.

A few weeks ago, I was down in Virgina second shooting a wedding with Li, who runs Estate Serenity Imagery. Quite a trip! But the wedding (and couple!) were gorgeous and the folks were super awesome.

Before heading over to the ceremony, we picked up the flowers that everyone would be wearing/holding to photograph them in advance. I got to play with a LensBaby Composer for the first time (thanks Li!), and now I’m determined to buy one! The images that come out of that lens are gorgeous! Case in point: first image here.

While Li was off with the gals, I was handling groom portraits at their apartment (in NY-language, it’s a house). The guys were awesome and fun to be around. They also convinced me to stick around for the reception even though I had the choice of taking off for the rest of the night. =P

The wedding ceremony itself took place at a reception hall at the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley. Gorgeous area. It was originally planned to be outdoors, but it was drizzling that day, so it was taken indoors. By the end of the ceremony, the sun came out and Li took the formal portraits outdoors on the lawn.

P.S. They had a friend of theirs officiating at the wedding. How awesome is that??

Doing a cute little dance as they walked out at the end of the ceremony…

Over at the Piccadilly’s Public House, known locally as Brew Pub, was Brian and Andrea’s wedding reception. I love how they have string lights everywhere.

This one was one of my favorites from the day. And that’s weird, because I don’t like pink all that much.

Aren’t they adorable?

More LensBaby shots. I couldn’t get enough!
