She said that she wanted to do this…

That’s the birds eye view of me photographing John seeing Tricia for the first time in Grand Central Station. Tricia had heard that I had done something similar the week prior and since this was one of her favorite buildings in Manhattan, she thought she’d muster the strength for it. And muster she did.

Isn’t it amazing how people just clear the way for a woman in a wedding dress? I don’t see why women don’t wear these things all the time. I mean seas practically part for a lady in a white gown.

I personally think that she drew the strength from knowing that she had someone who would be eager to carry her train and veil for her.

So we plunked him down in the middle of the Great Hall at Grand Central and brought Gena out to meet him.

So that we could catch his reaction…

Such a great moment.

For this classic shot, I went again with my custom Digital Cyanotype toning that I developed.

If you remember a few weeks back I mentioned the value of lighting at the reception. Look at what Gena and John did at the Penthouse Ballroom at the St. Regis. Not only did they pinspot the centerpieces, but they uplit the walls AND had 4 MAC Lumieres (moving head lights) on pedestals to crosslight the chandeliers and then break into moving disco gobos during the dance sets. And then during the first dance, they lit up the couple’s new custom monogram that was inlaid in the dance floor.

Here’s a centerpiece NOT being a black hole.

Even the Korean Paebak was a rockin good time.
