Heather & John's Wedding

There were a couple of coincidences surrounding Heather & John's wedding which confirmed my notion that the World is indeed a very small place. The first being how we booked the job; although Heather had found us through an internet search, Kim recognized her name and it turned out that she had gone to school with Kim's sister! Another uncanny incident cropped up during the reception - you'll see that in a minute..

John is a New York City fireman and I came across his wedding day schedule when I showed up at the house. I like the 5:00pm entry from Heather but it was nice to see my name in print also!

The obligatory Reservoir Dogs shot always works well when you have a large bridal party..

Meanwhile Kim met Heather at The Royalton in Roslyn. This is a beautiful old home with spiral staircases and elegant decor...

There's something about this limo shot I particularly like. I think it's the way it seems to be peaking around the bushes to see if the coast is clear..

Heather and her father entering the Church as the doors are opened. The back lighting makes for a nice framing around their bodies..

We shot the formal photos at a nearby beach. Although we did shoot on the actual beach, the lighting and backdrop was perfect off to the side where this tall grass was growing..

John sneaking a whiff of the flowers while Heather was getting her dress in order..

On the way to the reception the limo sped past me leaving me in the dust!
Luckily I noticed the car approaching me in the rear view mirror and was able to grab my camera from the passenger seat and get one frame as they were passing! I love the way Heather looked back at me from the rear seat in this shot!..

Coincidence number 2!
As I was taking photos on the reception dance floor, an attractive young lady grabbed the groom and posed for a photograph. Her expression turned from big smile to astonishment as she recognized me and I recognized her and it turned out we had shot her wedding several years earlier. She told me that she has known John for years and he was a guest at her wedding along with most of the other guests there. So, for old time's sake, here is Bernadette with John..

Nothing gets the crowd dancing like Bon Jovi's "Living on a Prayer". We have worked with 'Times Square Orchestra' a few times and they ROCK THE HOUSE!!
