This is a scan of a polaroid negative from last weekend's wedding I shot. As the bride was getting ready in her home, this was a little window in her dad's office. Hope you like this photo like I like this photo!
I have been dying to post this wedding for awhile now. Everything about this wedding was stunning from the couple, to the venue - the St. Regis, to the decor, to their guests and families. Angela is actually runs a wedding design and coordianting company with another partner called Sterling Social and I would highly recommend looking into them if you're planning your wedding. They put together insanely gorgeous events. Wait till you see tomorrow's post with the details of their reception. For now, enjoy these photos!
Asking Angela about falling in love with Jon, "The first time I looked into those big blue eyes I was a goner :) I fell hard and I can honestly say that I fall more in love with Jon every day. He has the most genuine, kind and endearing nature and his positive outlook on life is contagious. He's truly my better half! He feels like home to me…like I was meant to be with him my entire life. Jon is one of the most special people in the world and I feel so lucky, every day, that I found him."
More reflections from Angela: "I loved the private moment of seeing him for the first time before the Ceremony because I knew we wouldn't have much more time that day just to ourselves. Regardless of seeing Jon before, the moment I walked down the aisle with my Dad took my breath away. Time stood still and aside from the day Jon asked me to marry him, it was the happiest moment of my entire life."
Angela is an event coordinator herself with her company, Sterling Social. I asked her how it was planning her own wedding. She responded, "My own wedding was one of the most exciting projects I have ever worked on. It was my opportunity to do what I love for the people I love. I work with the most brilliant, creative people on a daily basis and we had so much fun designing this wedding. The design was really inspired by texture. I wanted to bring to life a neutral color palette through the use of interesting textural elements such as mica wallpaper, mercury glass, and cut crystal. The overall look and feel was soft and romantic. It was magical to watch the elements tie together throughout the planning process."

When I travel to shoot weddings, or engagement shoots, I love to document areas surrounding these events. Usually it is a hometown, or a favorite place for couples and I try to capture the surroundings. NYC is definitely one of my favorite cities to walk around, people watch and photograph. On this trip, I ran across a friend who let me borrow her Hasselblad X-Pan; a camera I've been wanting to buy for a long time. Basically a 35mm panoramic camera that is awesome. I shot one roll on that camera and here are most of the pics and some others. I didn't edit one of these photos. Straight scans from Richard Photo Lab. What do you think of the panoramics?
Definitely digging the panoramics! One more toy you're gonna need :)
Really like that first shot and the one of the corner store. They'd make great prints.
Very nice!
