Day 4, New York- THE WEDDING

By Sarah Alston on June 30, 2009

Sunday was THE BIG DAY- the day I got to shoot a wedding with Ryan Brenizer.  I was so excited/nervous/scared…I mean, I’m a decent photographer, but I was WAY out of my league next to Ryan.  I had no idea what to expect when I got there. 

 

I ended up having a blast- the bride and groom were FANTASTIC, the venue was amazing, and Ryan was great to work with.  I learned a lot about how he lights his shots that I just can’t wait to try out!

 

Here are the highlights of the day:

 

The bride got ready at her mom’s house in the Lower East Side of the city.

Her dad was SUCH a goofball…I wanted to adopt him!

The Ceremony was held at  The Lighthouse at Chealsea Piers, a beautiful venue right on the Hudson River overlooking the Jersey Skyline.

The reception was a total HOOT!  The groom is Jewish, so they did the traditional Hora dance!

Thank you, Ryan, for giving me the opportunity to shoot with you and learn from you. I had a blast!  You rule, man!

    Hehehe…thanks guys! Yeah, working with Ryan was kind of intimidating, but he's such a nice guy, so it made it really easy.

    What a beautiful couple! I love the variety of humanity in the series of photos. I wish I could get married all over again, just to have you photograph it.

    There are some nice shots in there, Sarah. I like the headshot of the bride just before the wedding (I assume). The little guy dancing with the little girl – she's going nuts and his shirt is untucked – but he's serious!!!!! The rings on the lime and lemon are a nice touch.

    I agree, your favorite was awesome.

    I really like the bride's profile shot as well.
