Pennace Photography

On Sunday (Valentine’s Day!) I photographed the wedding of Molly and Rex in the backyard of their Manhattan apartment. The great thing about weddings is that they can be done any which way, and still be meaningful and special. Molly and Rex chose a small ceremony surrounded by candles in the snow. Molly even made her own dress. They were a super fun, spunky, happy couple to photograph. I had a lot of fun with them (and their cat Poofy). I really love how the photos capture the uniqueness of their personalities and the intimacy of the ceremony.

On Christmas Eve Karina and Nick were married in Rockefeller Center. They flew in from Ohio to get married. They were an awesome couple to photograph! I was honored to help them create the memory. Since it was just the two of them, for a good portion of the day it was the three of us alone, going around the city. A wonderfully unique experience, and definitely one I know I’ll remember.

I saw this article during my travels today. For anyone out there looking for a wedding photographer, make sure to ask for references, ask if they are a registered business, and overall just be very careful with whom you choose….there are way too many scammers out there.

MORRISTOWN, N.J. (AP) — The owner of a defunct New Jersey wedding photography business that failed to deliver wedding photos and videos to hundreds of couples has been sentenced to a year of probation and ordered to pay about $1 million in restitution.

The penalties imposed Friday by Superior Court Judge Salem Ahto against 47-year-old Marc Schwartz of Randolph are in addition to $3 million in civil fines and penalties imposed last year on him and his business, Celebration Studios.

Schwartz pleaded guilty in November to theft of services and entered a separate guilty plea on behalf of his company.

State prosecutors recommended that he remain free so he can work to pay off his debts.

Schwartz currently has no assets, but his attorney said he has a new job and his wages can be garnished.
