I had never been to New York before this year and last month I was lucky enough to go twice! The second trip was to photograph a wedding with my good friend, Jensen Sutta. I always love when I have an opportunity to second shoot with a friend and Jensen and I go way back. We went to school together at Brooks Institute of Photography and he was one of the first people to encourage me to become a wedding photographer. Anyway, driving around New York City is a pretty intense experience and I'm not sure how great my co-pilot skills were in terms of our navigation, but we did laugh a lot- mostly at ourselves!! :-)
Jensen picked me up on Friday and we drove straight to the rehearsal dinner which was on the beautiful rooftop at the Gramercy Park Hotel overlooking the city. The bride's and groom's parents all surprised the couple with 3 Broadway singers who sang two of their favorite songs (Seasons of Love
from 'Rent' and That's All I Ask Of You from 'The Phantom of
the Opera') It was such an incredible surprise! I had goosebumps through the entire performance.
The wedding itself was at the American Museum of Natural History, but we started downtown at the St. Regis hotel getting ready. I got to hang with the fellas to start out and I had so much fun with Zeev and his groomsmen walking around and taking photos in the city streets! The wedding itself was beyond amazing and the reception/party was beyond fun! The band had basically the entire party on the dance floor all night long.
A big thanks to Jensen for inviting me to shoot with him, to the awesome coordinator, Karen Bussen, and last but certainly not least to Katie and Zeev. I was honored to be a part of your amazing day and I loved getting to know you both! I wish you all the best in your life!
