Congrats Mike! My mom picked up the issue a little while ago to show me and I was so excited for you! You deserve it!
Thanks to all of my wonderful clients who helped make 2011 an incredible year. And a very special thank you to my beautiful wife, who blessed me with the greatest gift of all this year. In no particular order, here are some of my favorite images of 2011.

What a year! I’m so proud of you and so glad you are able to share your talent with others in this way. Here’s to next year! LOVE YOU!

The best of the best! Your talent continues to amaze me. Can’t wait to see what 2012 brings for you!

Oh my GOSH. I love your work! It really stands out to me in terms of originality and it has this great, in-the-moment quality to it, almost like movie stills. I love so many of your candids-too maybe to name-the one of everyone holding the bride’s veil is terrific! But then your posed shots, like the newborn with sunglasses and groomsmen standing on posts-they are just fabulous too!

Beautiful! Such a fun wedding…congrats Julia and Brad. My favorite picture is the black and white in front of the pond. That’s a framer

Wow! These photos are fabulous! They truly capture the essence of Julia and Brad’s Christmas wedding and the simple, exquisite beauty of the setting they chose for this perfect day! But, most strikingly, these pictures tell the story of precious love, the emotion of every moment, and the magic of this incredibly wonderful day! Julia and Brad, you are such a beautiful couple and we love you both so very, very much!

Mary and George Biderman-What a treasure are your wedding pictures to represent the even greater treasure of your love for each other. Julia and Brad, you are each beautiful…as a couple, you are exquisite! Julia, I know your feet were freezing while you were out in the cold, but we especially adore the pictures in front of the barn, farmhouse, and water. We are thrilled to have you as a daughter-in-law.
