As we are approaching a new Spring 2022, we are reflecting to last spring and one year into the pandemic.  Temple services were happening with face masks and precaution, and we all began getting back to the work we love so much and celebrating with families. Gabbi, her two moms and two brothers met Sarah at the beautiful Central Synagogue to capture her becoming Bat Mitzvah.  Gabbi was able to share this momentous event in her life with her grandparents by her side.  This was remarkable for all! After Bema photos this cool family changes into jeans and casual clothing for a pho ..read more

It was a perfect day in July last summer for Samantha and Eric’s wedding upstate in Cortlandt, New York.  When Sarah arrived the bride and her bridesmaids were out on the balcony and greeted Sarah with smiles and fun.  The girls were hanging out in their cool pajamas…a gift from the bride.  Sam had the cutest three flower girls EVER!!!  We love their matching hairdos. Guests gathered outside for the ceremony that took place on a breathtaking lake with speed boats and sail boats for great eye candy and a perfect romantic setting for the Chuppah created by the talented team ..read more

As the pandemic seems to be here to stay…Companies are finding creative and safe ways to come together to celebrate. This client of ours celebrates every year in Manhattan and honors a Claim Executive of the Year which is a big deal in the Insurance world. This group of 350 fully vaccinated guests arrived at The Edison Rooftop in Times Square to see people they haven’t seen in over a year.  The event took place in late September 2021 and is such a great venue we wanted to share! Sarah Merians caught all the magnificent hydrangeas against a blue sky.  Having an opportunity to party i ..read more

We have been loving the new trend in weddings.  Brides and grooms are doing smaller weddings in restaurants and continuing to be safe and stay healthy. Love isn’t cancelled…if anything more people are getting married now than ever before. This amazing wedding started in Central Park for portraits and continued to the restaurant on the upper west side, The Milling Room.  Check out the exquisite fall foliage in Central Park as this cute couple strolled through the paths and over the bridges. There was so much love and emotion through the afternoon and our photographer David captured i ..read more

We just love holidays at the end of the year in Manhattan.  The city is a glitter of Christmas lights, and everyone feels so festive. Sarah captured a holiday party for Sotheby’s International Realty at the exclusive and private club, Doubles on Fifth Avenue.  She was told it took 5 days to put up all the décor at The Club and it certainly added bling and fun to Sarah’s photos.  Check it out! We are thrilled to see Companies celebrating again and wish you all a happy holiday season. Merry Christmas!   #corporatetuesdsay VENUE:        ..read more

We are so excited to share these spectacular wedding images captured just a couple of weeks ago at Envue Hotel in Weehawken, New Jersey by the one and only Liel.

It has been a difficult year and a half for so many companies including ours!  How can we not see our annual corporate clients and connect with them in person??? We are happy to say that companies are reaching out and updating their websites with new headshots, group photos, and office/environmental photos.  Explainer videos and short “get to know us” pieces have also been extremely popular – not just for websites but also social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram. It is so important to stay fresh and current!  We recommend a once a year “face lift” as your employees c ..read more
