I was thrilled when my friend Leslie asked me to shoot her wedding. I’ve known Leslie for a few years, and couldn’t wait to document one of the most significant days of her and Dany’s lives.
The day started around 12 noon on an overcast Saturday in January, 2010. The temperature was nice and cool and the lighting was pretty good. I had a nice time at the wedding. Everything was very organized, and started right on time, as scheduled. Nice planning, guys.
I usually like to post images from a wedding either the night of, or at the latest the day after the wedding. But this time, I woke up sick on Sunday morning- sore throat and overall feeling *blah*. So I’m finally getting to it a few days later, although still sick, I think I’m improving. MucinexD is my new friend.
Here’s quite a few favorites from the day, although there’s still a lot more that will be ready in the coming weeks.
Leslie arrives right on time.
She nervously prepares to make her entrance…
Her and her dad share a smile before the final walk
Dany sees his bride for the first time in her glorious white dress…
What an elegant looking cake. I wasn’t able to snag a piece, but if it tastes as good as it looks, I’m sure it was treat
There was some great looking snacks on display- complete with trees of fruit, and chocolate covered strawberries! Looks like a lot of time was spent making these edible trees and skewers.
Agua de Sandía – ¡Delicioso! (Rough Translation: Watermelon Juice – Delicious!)
One of the Groomsmen is an old friend of Dany’s from New York. If you didn’t see him, you’d swear you were listening to John Mayer. He totally rocked our socks off.
Leslie and Dany, thank you so much for allowing me the privilege of shooting your wedding day. I really hope you guys like the photos. I wish you both the best.
I always have fun when shooting, but when I’m shooting for a friend, it’s even more meaningful since we’ll still be in touch years from now. As always, feel free to drop a comment or two here at the bottom.
