Warbirds Over Long Island

Kim and I were very saddened this week to hear about the loss of pilot Robert Baranaskas this past weekend when his P-40 Warhawk crashed into the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Fire Island while he was practicing maneuvers for an upcoming air show. We were very fortunate to have met him when we photographed the wedding of his son Chris to Jen in the summer of 2006 and he was a true gentleman who loved his family, his aircraft and his country's military history.

Our thoughts are with Chris and the entire Baranaskas family during this difficult time and hope they can find peace and solace knowing that Robert died doing what he loved best.

Out of respect for the family, I am honored to be able to showcase here some of the photos from Jen and Chris' beautiful wedding including those magnificent aircraft! It really was a once in a lifetime photographic treat for Kim and myself to have such amazing props!!
