Tana and Patrick.. Married.

OK, so waaaaay back in April, Kim and I went to Long Island to shoot this awesome wedding. I really enjoyed myself because I got to know Patrick over the phone most of the year and it was nice to finally get to photograph his wedding. This is a message to all you future grooms out there, it is possible to help plan parts of the wedding... Choose a good photographer! ha! No really, Patrick was a cut above. And seriously people, could Tana be any more beautiful or well poised? She was so elegant!

These two were so in love! When that happens Kim and I have an easy job. Getting good photos of them was so fun and we hardly had to offer any direction at all. What you see in these photos is just their love shining through. They were so comfortable around each other that photography was a breeze. The entire day was packed with beautiful things and happy people. The lighting was fun and different as well. I hope we get to shoot at this location again [The Bourne Mansion].. We love NY Vineyard country.

Preparations.



I just love the light from that window.





Portraits...





This has such a cool, James bond old time feel.. if there is such a thing.


Such a cool venue.. this place was off the charts.


Photographers dream eyes. Like gemstones.


Speaking of Gems.


Ha! this is their dog.. he just hung out with us.. So cool.



Ceremony...



That is a happy man... He was just oozing with joy all day.


I actually did not see those tears it was so dark.. the camera saw them.. Booo Yaa!


If any of you are wondering what love looks like..


Cool angle.. we normally don't get this close during a ceremony, but if there is nowhere else to go and the Officiant lets us... well there you go.










this is why I was so close.. no room up front. Yes thats 20 people.
