Wedding: Jenny and Chris (Fox Hollow, Long Island)

I knew I was going to like Jenny and Chris right from the start of the engagement session. We were shooting in the Bronx Botanical Gardens — a very pretty place, but with a pretty serious limitation that your movement is severely restricted to the path. I said to them: “Well, I can see a really good shot here, but it might get kicked out.” Without hesitation and with a gleam in her eye, Jenny said, “Let’s do it!”

So it was no surprise that the wedding had a light, fun tone throughout the day. I mean, just look at the groom’s cake — an amazingly accurate and entirely edible rendition of R2D2 (I am told the arms were using Rice Krispies for support). Not to mention the melding of Asian and Western cultures, which in this case meant some games that got … a bit risque (rolling an egg up one pant leg of the groom and down the other. An interesting proposition normally, but more so since tuxedo pants tend to have snug inseams.)

Congratulations!
