Leah & Vic at The Garrison

May 29th, 2013

Leah & Vic were married last month at The Garrison in New York state. I had met up with them in NYC in March for their engagement session and just fell in love with these two. So many times I want to write about what makes each of my couples different and lovely, but as a reader you can’t really experience them without meeting them. It’s obvious that I like to watch and observe people, that’s what photographers do. Vic is a builder, and I couldn’t help but notice his purple pinkie, he must have jammed it just before the wedding. Leah’s tiny thumb resting on top of Vic’s huge thumb during the ketubah signing – a display of the ways they fit together. The way they exchange secret glances from across the room, this is the stuff I like to watch. I’ve never seen a bride more excited to marry her groom, with non stop exclamations of excitement. I’ve never seen a more charismatic groom, every woman in the room lining up to dance with him. And he danced with them all! Leah & Vic, thank you for inviting me into your lives, and allowing me to share your wedding story through these pictures.

Leah & Vic

April 2nd, 2013

Leah & Vic are getting married later this month at The Garrison in the Hudson Valley. I met up with them last weekend in New York, where they live for some wine and photos. This is a perfect example of why I love to meet with my couples before their wedding day. I was a little nervous, having only met them on skype before. Now I feel like I will be returning to New York to photograph friends, people I am already comfortable with and who are comfortable with me. Thank you Leah & Vic for showing me around!
