Tennille and Michael have been together for ten years, so they already have a successful marriage. Nonetheless, last weekend they made it official, much to the delight of their folks. Nothing about this event was ordinary; everyone held it together during the ceremony, which included shout-outs to both O’Henry and Abigail Adams, but then lost...
Leila (pronounced lai-la; get it right, people) and Anthony adorably met through their respective blogs. Their June wedding promises to be full of quirky details, rustic charm, and excellent pie. We wandered around Brooklyn for a few hours and played it by ear, shooting whatever struck our fancy. The fact that Anthony is about nine...
My flight to Parinda and Kedar’s Chicago wedding left at 6am – that’s really, really late at night in my world (what? I work nights!). So naturally, I chose not to sleep at all. I thought maybe this was causing me to hallucinate all those colors… but the pictures say otherwise.
This is only the beginning...
Michelle and Jackson made me get a little mushy. They love each other and I love them, and I love Michelle’s mom, and I love delicious Italian food, and Italians who don’t speak a word of English but still manage to communicate “don’t make me look fat in the pictures” through gesture and pantomime. I...
At the start of a wedding day, I usually stick with the bridal party while my second shooter hangs with the guys. As a result, here are some wedding day activities that I’ve missed out on over the years: guitar hero tournament, ironing a tie with the bride’s flat-iron, morning beer pong, a viewing of...
The next day was the wedding day. M&D had been fasting, so maybe they were too hungry to be nervous; regardless, they were cooler than refrigerated cucumbers.
M hung out at the hotel while a sizable crowd of guests gathered for D’s arrival. Meera and I both tried to talk him into arriving on an elephant,...
As everyone knows, Indian weddings are a visual delight, so I was more than happy to fly to Boston for Meera and Deven’s. Of course, it doeasn’t hurt that Indian weddings are also a gastronomical delight…
Thanks for all the awesome shots M&D! But no thanks for the extra four pounds I came home with.
Meanwhile…
Awww. Right?...
While most of the weddings I shoot eventually devolve into delightfully drunken blowouts (you know who you are), occasionally I’ll shoot a truly classy affair where everyone behaves themselves. Yin-Chu and Patrick’s Sunday afternoon wedding was such an affair, with live classical music and delectable food at the inimitable setting of Tavern on the Green...
When I met Ranie and Ogden at a downtown bookstore, they warned me that their wedding was going to be very, very Greek. I was all, so?
I’m wiser now. A Greek wedding is no joke. These people can party.
I’d scoped the church out a few weeks earlier, and it still took my breath away. And...
