I can’t recall any wedding that was more fun to shoot, or one where I was happier with the images than Jennifer and Andy’s. The whole day was epic and amazing and a blast to photograph. In many ways, it was like a good movie. Great backdrops and plot twists, a lovely leading lady and a devilishly handsome groom, plus interesting characters, and….. you guessed it: unexpected rain!
We were super psyched when we heard that Jennifer and Andy were hoping for some “Annie Leibovitz” style portraits at Hotel Monaco. I’m sure that Annie gets a little more than 15 minutes, though. My favs, however are the individual portraits of Jennifer and Andy. And you can’t see it here, but in the gallery (up in a couple weeks) you can see how that blue painting makes an incredible background for some of the portraits. It was a whole lot of fun– and lots different than our usual portrait technique.
The wedding was luscious and cozy. It was pouring at this point, so it felt wonderful to be warm and dry inside. I hadn’t been to this church before, but I was groovin’ on how the red carpet and rich wood tones would blend with the red walls from our portrait session.
And finally, the most delightful part of the day was Jennifer and Andy taking a little stroll before they headed into their reception. A few raindrops fell, but nothing too terrible. (Is there a better prop than a black umbrella?) They looked so happy and the light was doing all our favorite things. Yummy.
Thanks for getting married here in town you two! I know you’re still on your world adventure honeymoon. I hope you check here first for a preview of all that we are preparing for you. Click here for a slideshow of our favorites.
UPDATE: Here is a link to all the photos from the day. And here’s a link to suggested album designs we’ve just finished for you. One is wow. The other is wow-plus-plus. (That’s the technical name for it….). On Friday or so, we’ll post the link to all the images from the day.
