A foot and a half of water.
That’s what we were driving through to get to Lauren and Chris’ wedding out in the Hamptons. Cars were stalling left and right, swamped by the torrential rains. But it just goes to show you that a bride creates her own sunshine on her wedding day.
And as we were taking pictures just before the ceremony took place, the clouds broke and we got a brief (and very windy) sunset.
This is the new Guestbook Album that we’ve been making for our clients. We take their engagement images and make it into a book that guests can sign at the wedding. It’s been a HUGE hit and almost everyone we’ve shown it to wants one. They look so cool once everyone’s written in them too. What a great way to take home well wishes from your guests.
Chris had a surprise for everyone too. He pulled together a band of his own that played a few numbers to the thrilled crowd. They totally rocked and practically brought the house down with their last number.
Guests were flipping.
But probably the MOST HIIILARIOUS thing was watching some of the groomsmen do Invisible Double Dutch. Who says white men can’t jump.

It’s been a crazy couple of weeks but I swore to a friend that I’d try to catch up on my blog so here it goes.
A couple of month’s ago we were doing out Still Live Exhibition at one of the weddings we were shooting (showing the images that we had taken of the day at the reception) and this woman Susan comes running up to me saying, “Oh my God, these pictures are AMAZING. Listen, I’m getting married in a couple of months at the Delamar in Greenwich and I already have a photographer but I have to have you and I’m going to forfeit my deposit and hire you if you’re available. Please tell me you have my date available!”
Well, it just so happened that we did.
And so she did… walking away from her $3000 deposit with the other photographer to hire us.
I felt badly of course, but hey, the other guy got $3000 for doing nothing so it’s not that bad.
Susan had this amazing gown that she had custom designed and fitted by this Israeli designer (as in she went to Israel for the fitting).
Her bridal party was an absolute laugh riot. They kept making fun of one of the groomsman’s shoes – so right in the midst of taking pictures in the park – he took his shoes off and tossed them in the lake.
