Number one photography job perk? Working with like-minded people. Margaret is that funny person who has the most hilarious comments about what’s real…she’ll say the things I was thinking in my head – but couldn’t say because uh…I’m trying to run a business.  I miss that person inside of me, the person who could make funny comments about inappropriate subject matter. I miss that person so much that I recently had a little breakdown about it….tears and all. I’M NOT FUNNY ANYMORE!!!! I cried to my husband. Ironically, he thought the entire sentiment was very funny. Well, I’m no Carrie Bradshaw, so I’m not going to wax on about the meaning of funny and why I keep that former funny girl all caged up these days. The point of the story is that Margaret and John are funny. You can see it in the pictures. Smiling and laughing and having a good time with life – that’s what they do as a couple. If every relationship could be like their’s …

This weekend I’m shooting Megha and Nirav’s Wedding at The Ritz in LA, so it’s only appropriate that I should post a few of the lovelies from their engagement session. I could brag about how wonderful this couple is for days…they both just have this thing that radiates from the inside to the outside….it’s GOOD PEOPLE kind of stuff. Oh….so THAT’S what makes them so good looking???  Haha, Megha and Nirav, congratulations on your big wedding weekend – and thank you for inviting us to be a part of it. We think you’re wonderful and we feel honored to capture the happiest day of your lives! xo -Jill and Tony

When I lived in New York, I remember attending a lot of different fundraisers for the preservation of The High Line. It sounded like a cool idea … take an out-of-service, elevated subway track and turn it into a park! And then when they finally finished it, everyone said – oh it’s SO COOL!!! You must go see it! But still I thought….”What’s to see? It’s an above ground subway track with some grass on it…” {I can be such a scrooge sometimes} But oh no, I’m here to tell ya – it’s so much more than just a park! And you really must go see it!!! The architects included so many different surprises. Keep an eye out for secret pathways, public art, hidden windows that look down to the street and one not so hidden window that looks down to the street (pictured below). The whole thing is a permanent fixture to the city that (upon completion in 2011) will run from the Meat Packing District all the way up to 30th street! So next time your in New York, and finding the weather to be delightful – don’t be afraid to skip Central Park and head over to the High Line (:

When I headed up for the first time, with Selena and Mike… the weather was less than delightful. It was FLIPPIN COLD!!! These two did a great job of fighting that face that says, “I’m flipping COLD!!!” I guess come February, they’ll be good and ready to get out of NY for a few days and warm up in MIAMI…we can’t wait to shoot their wedding there!
