the lost plays of tennessee williams.

i was so excited to attend the opening weekend performance of the lost plays of tennessee williams at the davidson/valentini theatre in hollywood a few weeks ago. my good friend and fantastic actor jason l brandt was part of the incredibly talented cast which performed three of williams’ recently discovered, one-act plays: mister paradise, the palooka, and tell sad stories of the deaths of queens. all three performances were stellar – compelling stories portrayed so vividly by the actors. following the performance, i photographed a few of the highlights of each play – it was a fabulous experience! thank you to the cast + crew: BRAVO!

national rehabilitation hospital.

i had the privilege of meeting sharon sellers, a phenomenal woman and passionate tennis player, this week. i photographed sharon at practice for the national rehabilitation hospital, as she recently had surgery on her right shoulder and is, as evident from the photos, a wonderful example of the great work done at the hospital! i really enjoyed meeting and photographing sharon, and after watching the girls at practice i’m thinking maybe it’s time to break out my (fabulous, never-been-used) tennis racquet…

the team!

jennifer + jeffrey: married!

a walk in the park.

jen + jeff are pretty much awesome. therefore, it should be no surprise to anyone that their wedding was incredibly awesome. it’s been exactly one week since jen + jeff tied the knot, which means i’ve had 7 days of obsessing over their gorgeous photos while they are soaking up the sun in costa rica, reveling in their newly-wed status…i can only imagine how thrilled they are, because i’m still reeling from that day.
the wedding was full of so many inspiring moments – i feel so lucky to have been able to capture it all. one of my (many) favorites was that jen donned her mother’s wedding dress for a few portraits before putting on her own dress…how great is that! also, jen + jeff are runners, and chose to spend over an hour walking through dumbarton oaks, strolling down lovers’ lane and pausing briefly amidst the breathtaking scenery. it seemed like the whole park was in bloom and both bride + groom were absolutely glowing.
the ceremony was unbelievably moving – jeff’s sister was the officiant and she did an incredible job of putting into words the unique love and connection that jen + jeff share. they wrote their own vows and i was so inspired by their love. once again, it was a true honor to witness such a perfect union, and simply amazing to be able to photograph it!
and then the reception! it was an exhilarating celebration of love, laughter, happiness and family. i was on the floor, standing on chairs and dodging in and out of some of the wildest dancing i’ve seen in a long time – it was fantastic!

jen + jeff: you are beyond inspiring. i loved every minute of your wedding and i am so honored to have been able to share it with you! thank you so much! enjoy the rest of your honeymoon and CONGRATS!!
