mark + nic – tied the knot at the brooklyn winery05.23.2013
mark works as a software developer at martha stewart living omnimedia. nic is the senior fashion editor for esquire magazine. as people so heavily involved in visual media as their careers, i was pretty honored that they wanted to have me shoot their wedding. it was kind of a perfectly low key, intimate + a not too fussy affair. simple but totally elegant + a great party to boot. in true brooklyn style we started at the wythe hotel + ended the night at the brooklyn winery. as the natorious B.I.G said it best : “spread love : it’s the brooklyn way”

brooklyn lifestyle wedding photographer I rob + susan04.30.2013
a couple of beers, the first real warm spring day, prospect park, brooklyn, magnolias in full bloom + true love sweet love. i’m not much of a conventionalist myself, so when people decide to ditch the system make their own rules i’m usually pretty sure i’m going to like them. a lot. rob + sue were just such people. instead of having a big stressful wedding, they did the ceremony at city hall. + then they had their nearest + dearest over to their apt. for drinks + food. a cocktail reception to celebrate their marriage. because really… isn’t that what it’s all about? we met up a couple days prior because they still wanted to commemorate this moment in their lives with photos. also, how amazing is the needlepoint frame that Susan made? it might just be my favorite wedding detail of all time. here’s to them… + to livin’ in sin no more…

PDN cover – The Wedding Issue04.25.2013
I first started seriously pursuing photography when I was 18. I’m almost 33. That’s 15 years of a LOT OF HARD WORK. I love love love my career + couldn’t imagine doing anything else, even if I didn’t get paid for it. But when the tide turns + some of that hard hard work finally starts paying off, that is a really good feeling. I’m going on my 4th year of freelancing here in NYC. The past few years have seen a lot of success press wise… There’s been lots of features, interviews, published images etc… But if you had told me 15, 10, or even 3 years ago that one of my weddings would land on the cover of PDN I would have never believed you. First + foremost I’m so so grateful to be able to do something that I truly love for a living. It couldn’t be done without a slew of wonderful clients that trust me + my work. + I’m also eternally grateful for my rep Lisa, with the Wedding Artists Collective… who’s truly helped bring my business to the next level + who’s level head + business savvy are continually my saving grace. And whom was also interviewed + featured in PDN for her wonderful collective that I’m lucky to be a small part of. Below are Kyle + Raquel, who were so wonderful to work for… + had such a perfectly fun + gorgeous wedding… Thank you to you too for allowing me to photograph your day. Ever Grateful with a widening heart, Brooke

NYC lifestyle family portrait photographer04.24.2013
when kelly found out she was picked to come to NYC + do a segment on the today show… she wanted some photos of her husband + herself to commemorate the trip. they brought their oldest daughter along at the last minute… + we got to wander + grab some lifestyle portraits around some of NYC’s most iconic spots. shooting in the city during rush hour can be a little harried + nuts with so many people doding in + out of my frame…. but i always love the outcome + the frenetic energy of the city that comes through in photos like these… i’m currently booking lots of family sessions, so please be in touch to inquire about rates + availability. have a great rest of your week!

aven + i…04.22.2013
wanna know a big perk of being a photographer? you have awesome photographer friends… my friend katie asked to do some photos of Aven + I around Brooklyn. i actually don’t really like my photo taken (shocking right?) but i’m so grateful for these… life is but a vapor…. + having a a baby has made me realize more than ever how fast time flies by you + how fleeting it is… photographs freeze moments which is nice when the day to day is such a blur. here’s us on a random day last week…. for more check out katie’s blog…
