There is always that moment for me as I pick up the camera before a portrait session when I am kind of amazed you are going to let me photograph you. Really? Then we start and somehow the walls fall down and I forget that we just met and all that really matters is who you are in that very moment you decided to step in front of my lens.

Thanks.
beginning to end. Katie and Vincent chose some great locations in New Orleans to spend their wedding day. The orange trees at the Hermann-Grimma House seemed to glow all day (and all night). The Pharmacy Museum with its wonderful old quarter charm transformed the afternoon. And when the sun set over the city and the candles and fairy light lit up the courtyard, it was truly magical.
I really enjoyed this selection from the wedding. Having worked that event with you I think you genuinely captured both of their true personalities. i LOVE the lavender toss at the end of the ceremony~ beautiful!
Dorka these are stunning – I especially love the one of the flowergirl looking at herself in the mirror.
Craig asked me to document his artwork I wasn’t sure what to expect. One afternoon, a little before my NY trip, I went to visit him in his studio to talk about the job and make plans. As soon as I saw his space and his work and his crazy beard I was like let’s make a movie about you and your branches. We scaled back. He cut his beard. We made this little movie. Check it out.

cool.
So very peaceful. The slow, never ending dance of the dry branches. Amazing. Very original. Both the artwork and the little video. The music well chosen. Beautiful.
the windiest day of the year to take the Algiers ferry across the river to take some pre-wedding portraits. And we did this at the crack of dawn. Austyn and Jonathan came prepared and ready for the adventure. They will be getting married on a beautiful farm in Mississippi (not at dawn). I look forward to sharing those photos with you soon!
I love these!
to describe what I feel when I look at this photos without too much sentiment. Being a mom I am constantly reminded of the passage of time. Shoes that don’t fit all of a sudden, fingernails that I swear were smaller last time I cut them, new words and new feelings.
I love that I will always have this memory of Lola Bay’s awesome shoes that she wore that day. And I will look back to that moment, when Tibo pressed his face to the Patisserie window and I will remember that he was Linus’s first best friend.
Those shoes are already too small for Tibo, and the pants (my favorite) too. Thank you for documenting such a beautiful moment in our lives. We were lucky to have you in it, invisible though the photographer may be.
My eyes have just swallowed a bucket of tears from falling over my cheeks. Thank you for these memories!
Renita - We had a wonderful time… The photos are simply divine.
Chris Gillette - Dorka, your photographs are simply stunning!
