Singers Shulem Lemmer and his brother Yanki performed in south Florida at an event honoring the 120th birthday of the Lubavitcher Rebbe. Although the evening included lots of speeches and videos, I post here only some shots of the actual musical concert portions. Amazing evening with about 3,000 attending and a reported 100,000 watching worldwide on a live stream.

One of my “destination” weddings, well worth the trip to New York! Tons of energy and perhaps the most all-around joy I’ve ever seen. First-time venue for me, The Vue Catering Hall (Flatbush) proved to be elegant and intimate.

Once again thrilled to do a concert shoot! The grand Klezmer Concert featuring world renowned klezmerist Michael Winograd and the Honorable Mentshn Klezmer Band,  and a special opening act by the highly acclaimed Jaime Bronsztein Klezmer Band. This show was a project of United Jewish Generations, a Chabad organization started 15 years ago by Rabbi Menachem Smith. Held at the …

Covering Aizik’s bar mitzvah would itself be a treat, but the awesome Lubavitch of Aventura South synagogue made this very special, and prompted me to use my synchronized remote camera technique to get differing perspectives on the same shot. Lots of fun, great people, and a prime south Florida bar mitzvah venue!  

What a concept: A destination wedding held in Chicago with everyone coming from elsewhere… arranged as a three-day Shabbaton wedding! First the actual wedding at the Chicago History Museum on Friday, then a full Shabbaton at the Hotel (obviously no photos for that), followed by a Melaveh Malka meal at DeskLabs Rooftop Saturday night, and a brunch at the Newberry …

An elegant affair at Chicago’s Westin O’Hare, featured so much simcha and movement! I deliberately captured some images using a technique that portrays that movement. A pleasure to work with these families.  

A south Florida wedding in Greynold’s Park, North Miami Beach. Great weather, wonderful scenery, and an awesome couple! Waited 10 years for this one, and it was worth it — so honored to have been a part of such a beautiful beginning!  

Even temperatures near zero degrees F couldn’t dampen the spirit!  

A very lively wedding in Chicago. So nice to work among long-time friends!  

One of the first weddings at a great new Chicago area venue — with an adjacent park!  

What a lively, fun-filled wedding! Fire-breathing, kids breaking wood planks with their hands, and — absolutely a first for me — the bride playing some basketball on the dance floor!  

A fun event that began in a medieval-themed hotel, then moved to a cruise ship on Lake Michigan.  

A wedding in the Crown Heights section of New York, complete with the chupah in front of 770, headquarters of Chabad Lubavitch .  

In early 2012 I was privileged to be the official photographer at a Matisyahu concert in Chicago. Although not something I normally do, shooting the concert was great fun. And great music!  

Tried my hand at shooting a benefit concert that Cheap Trick performed at in 2009. Remember them? Wild guitar collection!  

A first for me, this Toronto wedding featured a heavy downpour right as the outdoor chupah was beginning! But the show went on, and save for a brief flash malfunction and my drenched back, all was beautiful!  

This wedding was held in a downtown art gallery on the Chicago river, which afforded lots of photo journalistic shots!  

A fun couple and a beautiful chasuna!  

Fashion, style, and lots of gorgeous details. Had a blast!  

Sometimes a small intimate affair feels just right…. as long as there is love, all is good!
