Winter Window Reflection

Originally it seemed like a mistake to have the two images above touching. 

But then you look at it for a hot second, and wow. Of course they should intersect like that.

Engagement: Joanna and David

I'm sorry, does it get classier than this? 

I met Joanna through All Angels Church just over a year ago. She is a delight. So of course I was *so* excited to photograph engagement photos for her and her fiancé, David.

We started in the sanctuary, where David fell in love with Joanna. 

Right there, where they're sitting.

(There's some disagreement who was on the left and who was on the right - just go with it.)

From there, we went outside, to the sidewalk right next to the entrance - 

where David had proposed a few short weeks ago!

No shoot is complete without some middle-of-the-avenue shots, of course...

Congratulations and best wishes to the happy couple :)

Cheers!

Orange Abstraction

Perhaps strangely, these are my favorites from my architecture and light series so far. 

I know, I've published a dozen or more in this series already - but these have a quiet but kind of sparkling depth to them. I don't know. 

Love 'em. 

Cheers!

Fire in Air

 A continued lighting and architectural study of All Angels Church in New York City.

If there's something better than a bright blue stripe 

zipping through a sea of yellow undertones, 

well, 

I'll believe it when I see it.

All Angels Cafe Night

I had the pleasure of shooting a recent gallery opening and show at All Angels a few weeks ago, with Gutter Sparrow (above) opening for Welcome Wagon (finale below).

This is what he sounded like. 

Great space, great turnout. Until next show!

Tomorrow will be the last day of this series, friends. Hope you're having as much fun with it as I am - have a few winners from the reception for tomorrow's post.

Brunner/Wiley Wedding Part 4

You know the shot you want to get, and the moment you realize you didn't get it? I've been going through that this week. Then I went back to my files today and find that I *did* get it, above. You don't get those moments every day, friends - what you thought was lost was never lost at all. 

I've added a few gems from the ceremony below. I'll be trying to keep myself to a theme each day for the rest of the week. If all goes well, we'll have some wedding party shots ready tomorrow...

People loved this, still laughing as the flower girls finish their walk down the aisle :)

I'm realizing that I love epic photography. 

I want the Moment, 

the expansiveness of the church where all lines lead to and focus on 

the bride, 

making her entrance. 

If only I'd shot this in manual. How'd we get down to ISO 1600 when we're at 5.6? C'mon. Open it up.
