New York City Tour With Helen & Tony

One of my other wedding clients, Richard, sent Tony and Helen my way for their City Hall wedding in New York. Tony and Helen were pure joy to work with, and were open to everything I suggested for their wedding. Rather than let the time after their wedding go to waste, we opted to do a mini-tour of New York and get some great photos of them along the way. From City Hall, we stopped at the Oculus where congratulations abounded while we did a few portraits from the main staircase.

Following that, we got metro cards for them and headed to Brooklyn on the A train, where we all got a few minutes of much needed seat time. After visiting a coffee shop for a quick pick-me-up, we boarded the East River Ferry so they could see the unforgettable Manhattan skyline, and so I could get a few more portraits. Just as our time together was wrapping up, a storm rolled over Manhattan while I watched Tony and Helen duck into a cab back to their hotel.

Taylor & Tim's Slideshow

Taylor and Tim, and their dog Roger, have been busy this summer making the most of summer life. Thankfully for me, they’re patient and have been quietly waiting on me to get their slideshow video put together. They’re happy with how the slideshow turned out, which in turn means so am I!

Richard & Alex's Raw Take

As I was scrolling through the photos from Richard & Alex’s wedding (which was fortuitously on the same day that the US Supreme Court ruled that same-sex couples have the right to marry in all 50 states) I noticed that it would make an interesting video. I’m usually quite reluctant to post unedited photos, but in this case I’ve made an exception. Here are the 747 photos presented in a video, showing Richard & Alex’s full day, from start to finish.

Love Wins - Richard & Alex's Wedding

Destiny, maybe? Richard & Alex' wedding date, which was chosen because it is between their two birthdays, also happened to fall on the Friday of the NYC Pride March in Manhattan. And even better, was the day the US Supreme Court ruled in favor of same sex couples right to marry. It was a great day for a wedding, and I'm so glad I was able to share in a little part of their celebration.

Taylor & Tim's Wedding - The Return to New Haven

Taylor contacted about shooting his and Tim's wedding 16 months before their wedding date. Immediately I knew I could work with these guys. Planners to the end, they were a step ahead of me on everything, almost always sending me an email the day before I had a reminder set to let me know it was time to reach out to them.

Our first session was an engagement session in New Haven, CT. I spent a year living in New Haven, so it was great for me to get back to New Haven and see the area again. More importantly, I got to know Tim & Taylor better, and see how much they care for each other, and the way they interact. Their dog, Roger, was a hoot to work with as well.

A year later I was in Milford, CT working with these two wonderful grooms once again. As expected, Taylor was laid back and in a "go-with-the-flow" attitude, and Tim was a one-man organizing machine. When it came time to get the groups together, he took the reigns - which is fine by me - and kept the area in front of my camera constantly full to maximize the time I had with the wedding party. After their ceremony, he wrangled the family like a pro, and put people to work helping me ensure everyone was visible and smiling. If nothing else, Tim might just have a career in people herding in his future!
