Saturday's wedding was very special for me. Long before they were clients, Gwen and Jeremy were already friends of mine. To be such a big part of their happiness was really an honor. They were married at the Taj Lounge in Manhattan, and while it's an awesome venue, lighting the photos was a little tricky because it's so dark in there, and there aren't any neutral colored surfaces for me to bounce light off of. I have to say, however, I'm thrilled with my results.
Some early highlights:
Gwen and Jeremy are both involved in a company that provides medical anatomy artwork, so it was natural that they found a way to involve art in their wedding, replacing a unity candle with a unity painting, which they intend to display in their new home.
Got to spend time with one of my favorite couples today. Often, my clients become my friends over time, but this is one of two weddings I'm doing this summer that are friends who became clients. (The other set has their E-session next weekend.) Jeremy and I used to play together on our church's worship team back when I had more time for my bass, and Gwen takes care of our little Caroline in the nursery at Crossroads Christian Church in Brooklyn. They're perfect for each other, and it really shows on camera.
I met Gwen and Jeremy up at the Cloisters, a great old church/castle up in Fort Tyron Park up at the northern tip of Manhattan. Today, the Cloisters houses the Metropolitan Museum of Art's medieval collection. We shot there for 90 minutes, then went down to Little Italy for some more photos and dinner at a sidewalk cafe. It was an absolute blast, and I can't wait for their big day!
Here are a few of my favorites:
