One of my favorite things to photograph are celebrations and parties, capturing life’s special moments as they unfold is such a joy. This event was a double birthday party held as the Wagner Hotel in Battery Park. I was only there for the first hour, but plenty of merriment was definitely being had! Zhanna throws amazing parties and I have had the good fortune to be able to cover several of them over the past year.

Here are a few of my favorite shots from this event (click to view full size and un-cropped):

All images in this blog post were shot on a Nikon D750, using an AF-S Nikkor 24-300mm f/3.5-5.6 lens, and individually post-processed in Adobe Lightroom using my own custom presets.
