Dinner on Stage at the Met Opera

Sunday night was the annual Dinner on Stage at The Met Opera House in NY. What an amazing experience to be able to sit on the stage surrounded by such a beautiful backdrop while rubbing elbows with some of the most beautiful people and talented opera singers in the world.
Sometimes I have to pinch myself to realise that I am actually there and the is not some movie I am watching curled up on my sofa.

Ballet Hispanico Spring Gala at the Plaza Hotel 2014 Red Carpet

Last night I got to shoot the Red Carpet Arrivals at the Ballet Hispanico Spring Gala 2014 at the Plaza Hotel.
The guests started to arrive around 7 and it was impossible to tell it was raining outside from the smiles on their faces. Here are the step and repeat photos. My Friend Belinda wanted to know where the name Step and Repeat came from. I am guessing that it is because the guests and celebrities stop and smile for the first few photographers then take a few steps and stop and smile for the next few photographers until they have walked the length of the red carpet. Last night although there was no RED Carpet there was a backdrop and I had fun getting everyone to stop and smile for me.

Ballet Hispanico Sprint Gala at the Plaza Hotel 2014 Dinner.

Last night was the Ballet Hispanico Spring Gala at the Plaza Hotel 2014. It is always one of the most fun events because children of all ages come from the Ballet School to dance for the guests as well as the Ballet Company Dancers.
It is so amazing to see the kids perform and to recognize some of them from earlier years.
This year the evening raised over One Million Dollars and the Ford Foundation made an additional donation of One point five Million Dollars towards the Capitol Campaign. The building on the Upper West Side is going to see a full make over so that it can expand its programs for dance and education.

The Save Venice Ball 2014 at the Pierre Hotel Step and Repeat

Last night was the Save Venice Ball 2014 at the Pierre Hotel.
As soon as the guests walked past the Ferrari parked outside the hotel  they headed for the Step and Repeat where I was posted to take photos.
It was great seeing everyone looking so festive. It has been to long a winter and way to cold so last nights flowers and color were a start to the spring season.
May of the women were wearing  Dolce and Gabbana who was one of the evening sponsors.

The Save Venice Ball 2014 at the Pierre Hotel NYC

Towards the end of the night at the Save Venice Ball 2014 I decided to take some portraits of the guests by the mural on the wall of the Pierre Hotel.
As people walked by I asked them to stop for a second so I could shoot them alone or with their friends.
I had such a great time. It was a wonderful night.

The Westchester WEDDING PLANNER

I was so happy today when Event planner  James Abel ran over with the new issue of The Westchester Wedding Planner that is featuring a wedding we did together at Blue Hill. James thinks of everything. When it started to rain just before the ceremony James had all the chairs rushed inside then he pulled out a blue umbrella for good luck. Joe and Carrie got to the barn without getting wet. The good luck  worked and no sooner had the ceremony ended the sun came out and cocktails took place outside.
Thanks to Carrie and Joe for letting us publish this and to everyone at the magazine for putting us on the pages.
