After 20 years of photographing events? We know the experts who can help you bring your event to life.
Event Production
We work with many top-notch event producers & planners. Do you need to produce a corporate event, plan a charity gala, launch a new book? Are you pulling your hair out worrying how to orchestrate your upcoming wedding or bar mitzvah? Or maybe you just need some “day-of” help? Ask us for recommendations.
PR & Marketing
Monaco Associates. Launch your book, build your business. Half of success is writing an outstanding book — yay, you!!! And Carolyn Monaco and her team will help you with the other half by marketing it effectively, resulting in increased visibility and higher revenues. One look at their book list and you’ll know just how good they are at what they do.
Led by Wayne Wolf, Turnkey.Events helps organizations market their fundraising, community and sponsored events with clarity, confidence, and care. From websites, graphics, and print collateral to event materials and sponsor-facing assets, each engagement meets clients where they are to support the level of structure and visibility they need.
Silent (and Live) Auction Items
Mike Polsky (Polsky Sports & Entertainment). Organizing a charity fundraiser? Polsky will fill your silent (or live) auction table with cool memorabilia from the sports & entertainment worlds. And there’s no financial risk for your charity. We enjoy photographing events where Mike has provided the auction items because it’s easy to get photos of excited “shoppers.”
Branded Merchandise (and Other Tchotchkes)
Looking to have custom branded items at your special event (napkins & cups, throw pillows, apparel, gift bags or golf balls, all printed with your company name, your initials, your logo)? Look no further.
JZ (Jac Zagoory Designs) has the uncanny ability to source just the right quality gifts, goods and giveaways for your corporate, non-profit or private event, including thoughtful groomsmen and bridesmaids’ presents and fun items for your bar/bat mitzvah. Email: [email protected]

Florists
Rachel Cho Floral Design: Year after year, Rachel is named one of the top florists in the city, and she has an amazing team. Brides and grooms, parents planning bar/bat mitzvahs, and corporate clients from the MoMA to the Dr. Oz Show to Macy’s rely on her for her beautiful arrangements. We recommend Rachel because her flowers make our photos look better :-).
Catering
Fleurimond Catering & Events is led by culinary entrepreneur Nadege Fleurimond, who draws on her Caribbean roots and a love for world travel to provide a unique global fusion for her clients. With over 20 years of experience, the company has catered for the White House and has a prestigious client roster, including the NBA, LVMH, and The AI Engineers Summit.

Wedding Rings & Custom Jewelry
David Sachs (D. Sachs & Co): If you’re looking for wedding bands or other custom jewelry for the wedding, David Sachs is an outstanding choice. David is a diamond wholesaler (so you know you’ll get a great price on any stones) and a custom jewelry designer who produces beautiful work. He works by personal referral only, so if you want an introduction, just ask.
Wedding Officiant
Rev. Susanna Stefanachi Macomb: Rev. Macomb literally wrote the book on interfaith wedding ceremonies (Joining Hands and Hearts: Interfaith, Intercultural Wedding Celebrations). Even if your wedding isn’t interfaith or intercultural, Rev. Macomb will ensure your wedding ceremony is the most beautiful, touching and romantic part of your day. I’ve photographed many weddings and vow renewals officiated by Rev. Macomb, and — truth be told — she can make a grown man (me) cry.
Public Speaking
Want to nail that keynote or company presentation? Make people laugh AND cry with your wedding toast? Robert Begley of Speaking with Purpose is a communication coach and professional speaker who will help you deliver clearly, confidently, and memorably. Get rid of the uh’s and um’s, and get ready to connect with your audience.
Makeup Artists
All of the makeup artists we work with are talented at both editorial/fashion makeup and natural beauty makeup (e.g., weddings and bar/bat mitzvahs). They are as comfortable with models and celebrities as they are with regular people like us.

Nutrition & Fitness
Big life events spur folks to commit more to health and wellness. Soooo many of our clients have told us they feel the same way.
Personal trainer Jason Rodriguez (Fitness Journeys) ensures his clients grow stronger, healthier and actually have fun (we know from personal experience!) during the process.
