About a year and a half ago, I was fortunate enough to shoot Christina and Mike’s wedding in Atlanta. Up until then Christina had been working as a physical therapist on tour with the stage production of The Lion King. One of her co-workers and good friends was Katie, the bride you’ll see in just a moment…
Katie flew in for that wedding and when I met her I was touched by how close she and Christina obviously were. I was absolutely thrilled that she asked me to shoot her wedding in Kings Park, NY on Long Island. You’ll notice below and in the slideshow that they’re Skype’ing with their friends who are still on tour and are just minutes away from going on stage.
This is one of my favorite images that Huy captured on the wedding day. I just love the composition.
I’m quite certain Huy had a great time shooting the guys most of the afternoon. They’re like a walking movie set.
I first met Abigail and Peter last year when she was a bridesmaid at Vicky and Jason’s wedding. As it turns out, they’re getting hitched next April at the All Saints Chapel on the University of the South campus in Sewanee, TN where Abigail went to school. Naturally, the campus seemed like a great place to do their engagement session.
This is the chapel where the wedding will take place. Much of the grounds are just as beautiful so you can imagine that my brain was racing thinking of all the shots we could get on her wedding day. Just amazing!
As it turns out, it was scorching hot and we were all dealing with the heat as best as we could… lots of water and breaks in the shade… they did fantastic!
I loved the light on this one.
In case you’re wondering why they look so relaxed in the image above…
The family has a cabin just around the corner from the school, so we went back there to relax and get a few photos.
Then a quick visit to the lake near the cabin before I headed back home.
Abigail and Peter, I really can’t wait for April to roll around and see what the day has in store for you. And thank you for being such gracious hosts!
