Battery Gardens Wedding, New York, NY: Marie and Nate
Very nice feedback from Marie and Nate. Thank you!!!
"I could write about how you are the best documentary photographer - but your photographs already said that all on their own. I could write about your camera skills with perfect lighting, frames and colors - but your photographs stood for themselves there also. However, I do want to tell you that you have captured all the essence of the day: Nate's delighted grin on the morning of his wedding, the mischievous smile I had before our first look, the joyous laughter we shared on the way to be wed, the proud look on Pop's face as he embraced me at the ceremony, the tears of joy from my sisters and best friends, the loving first dance we shared as husband and wife. These were the moments we treasured most on our wedding day. I happen to work in a field where I am always acutely aware of human suffering. At the risk of sounding cliche and cheesy, please believe me when I tell you that the moments you captured are those we all fight for, die for, and live for. They make up humanity, and hope.
More importantly, each of the photograph is one moment, but together they tell a story - a story that we will one day hope to share with our children - a touching, funny, at times crazy, but always honest story - a true tale of love, friendship, and family.
From both of us and from our family - thank you truly for making our day, our week, our month, our year, and our life! It is an honor to be photographed by you. It is an even greater pleasure to get to know you as a person.
Marie, Nate, family, and friends. :-)"

the tiger is so whimsical, a perfect fit for marie and nate!
This photo captures everything I felt that day – just indescribable happiness and joy. The shot is so clean and simple – with so much emotion. I will have to tell you about the symbolism of the cartoon tiger another day – incidentally, it is actually quite appropriate. Thank you so much!
