Matt has been shooting with us for almost 5 years – and for the last year or so, he’s been the lead photographer on a number of our events. During the week, Matt is a dance photographer. He shares a studio with Lois Greenfield in SoHo. For you who don’t know, Lois is THE dance photographer. No really, if you google “dance photography”, she’s #1. Matt may very well be the next #1. He has shot close to 1/2 of the covers for the big dance magazines over the last 9 months.

Anyway, Matt asked me to join him shooting a wedding in Brooklyn – enticing me with – “It’s a disco wedding, with a marching band and a lady circus!” Now how can you say no to that?

Grand Prospect Hall in Brooklyn, really is old world grand. A lot of the original detail has been preserved so you feel like you’re going back in time when you walk in.

The best part of shooting a wedding as a “second” photographer instead of the lead is that you get to do the really fun shots. I saw the lights they were using to spotlight the couple during their first dance, and I thought it’d make a great shot from above. Here I ran up to the balcony and timing the moving lights just so… made a heart for them to dance in.

Bring on the Hungry Marching Band!

And the Lady Circus!

With fire jugglers!

No kidding!

And one girl was doing the strangest dance – she had her hair stuffed up her nose.

Just kidding on that one.

But it really was a Disco Wedding. All the guests were completely decked out 70s style. Here they whisk the groom off the dancefloor.

And dump him.

Just kidding.
