Tuesday, June 29th, 2010Trampoline: Good for Photo Shoot
Tuesday, June 29th, 2010Did everyone know this already? Ben used to joke around that we would shoot for free if the bride would jump into a swimming pool during the reception. This was because we had an underwater movie camera and wanted to make the most amazing wedding video ever. Now we’re wondering if we should offer a discount to couples if they provide a trampoline. You can’t go too wrong. All the jumping and the joy and whatnot. Anyway, never hurts to ask.
So here are Jen and Chris, again, doing freestyle.
Jen + Chris at the Black River and Western Railroad
Friday, June 25th, 2010What photographer would not want to shoot this couple? Jen has an Etsy store—her profile there says she loves to make stuff and dance in the car to Chaka Khan. Chris is an amazingly talented illustrator—check out his work here. After seeing his work, I changed my alternative fantasy profession from World Cup soccer player to unpaid intern for Chris Silas Neal.
Jen and Chris came out to our country home Memorial Day weekend, and we zipped down the street to the nearby Black River and Western Railroad. This location makes us crazy! For those interested, they actually host parties, and I am just waiting for the day that I get to shoot a wedding there. Most of the charm is outside, but there’s actually one old train car with a bar and upholstered furniture that looks very 1920s. I want to sit in there with fancy gloves and drink a martini, even though I don’t like martinis. Anyway! We had no access to the interior of the train this day, but we did have some fabulous light and tons of fun.
Check our posting tomorrow to see Part II of the shoot! Jen and Chris spent the weekend out here, and on day two we went over to Stockton, NJ, to shoot on a farm complete with trampoline, and many of Jen’s adorable handcrafted props that we’ll see again at their wedding August 7th at Martha Clara Vineyards in Riverhead, Long Island. Obviously, we can’t wait for that.
We are happy too for our posting on 100 Layer Cake today—a tiny preview of this engagement shoot.
We Love You, Blog World!
Thursday, May 6th, 2010We are thrilled to have been featured on two different blogs this week. Amanda and Luke appear on the very lovely (indeed) Lovely Bride. May we use the word “lovely” again to describe this couple? We spent a few fun hours with them on Amanda’s birthday in and outside of the Ace Hotel, which is one of the hippest places to stay, grab a cup of coffee, or just sit in the lobby and feel sort of Euro and sophisticated.
Christina and John, who are featured on Once Wed, borrowed a friend’s loft in Ft. Greene for their intimate celebration. Christina is a paper/installation artist and John is a graphic designer—being quite a papivore myself, I knew even before we met that I would love to shoot their wedding.
The day itself was perfect. Beautiful people, check. Beautiful dress, check. Great decor, cool loft, stylish guests, T-shirts. Yes, I said T-shirts! John designed one of the best take-home gifts we have seen—T-shirts with an amalgam of the couple’s last names (”GRAFSKY,” from Graf and Pinsky) printed on the front and a sweet little heart on the back near the neckline. Picture coming soon, in my next post.
