I look for images which capture a kind of magic of the everyday - the subtle moments as life unfolds. It's my way of telling a story. I love how photographs can evoke memories as well as reference reality. I photograph to see the possibilities of what is, what can be and sometimes what was. It's a discovery and the resultant image is a tremendous gift. This blog is a means of sharing and giving back some uncommonly beautiful moments provided by the people and places I met. The title, You Are Here, came about as a desire for this space to function both as a kind of guidepost and meeting point. Thank you.

Diane & Rob are married!!!

What better way to return from blogging hiatus than with a post about a wedding? Diane & Rob got married last October in New York City. Their heartfelt ceremony took place right at sunset on a gorgeous early fall evening in Bryant Park. Surrounded by family and friends under the canopy of blue skies, a westward amber-glowing sun and a backdrop of high-rises the couple exchanged their vows, which they wrote themselves. The reception followed at Bryan Park Grill and the party was an absolute blast! Sooo much fun!!!
Congratulations again you two!!! Thanks for letting me photograph your special day. Hope you enjoy some of my favorite pics (a slideshow will follow soon!).

xoxo,
Monika

When I arrived to start photographing the 'Getting Ready' part, Diane was having her hair styled. I love the pure joy on her face - she kept repeating these words throughout the day: 'We're getting married!"

Right after the ceremony Diane & Rob found a quite place and almost collapsed in an intense embrace! They were literally both trembling overcome with happiness!

My kind of 'detail' photograph - a unique way of showing the wedding bouquet. And the gorgeous ring!
