I have been a russophile ever since the days I stayed up late in my dorm room, listening to tapes and poring over books on my own to read Dostoevsky and Pushkin in their native tongue. It didn’t get quite that far, and sadly lack of use has left me able to say only “My name is Ryan. This is a beautiful post office,” but it still added to my enjoyment of Svetlana and Dmitry’s wedding, filled with Eastern European touches throughout the day, including most of the reception toasts given in Russian.
They did a fantastic job working with the Westbury Manor to bring their wedding vision to life, with details right down to a cocktail Svetlana designed herself. Along the way, while we were having a great time at the waterfront shooting portraits, we ran into the cast and crew of Running Wilde. The ladies jumped at the chance to see Keri Russell while I, a consummate Arrested Development fan, waved to Will Arnett and David Cross, clad in jester costume.
Any day spent with a heartfelt, family-oriented wedding, a couple so obviously in love, and the guy in the $6,300 suit, is a day well-spent. Congratulations!

Daniel Dunlap - Holy smokes Ryan! Awesome work! Love the shot of the Groom dipping the bride just in front of the tress.
Nadine - I love the one where the groom is tipping her, in a dance pose. And also where he is glancing at her during the ceremony. That’s a great moment.
Great job as always Ryan, I can get a feel of the people and I wasn’t even there!
Nadine - Right. Dipping not Tipping. :-P
Daniel Krieger - Beautiful shots Ryan, great ceremony shots and I love the refection in the car photo.. Well done capturing their special day as always!
