Personality, connection, inner children, playfulness — it all comes out on the dance floor.
There’s a reason that we dance at weddings. You’ve worked so hard for months and months for an event that you could have done by yourself in a few hours. Why? To celebrate with people you love. After so much work, and with so much emotion, a few hugs and polite conversations won’t do — let the music come and show that you don’t care about decorum, about anything but having a good time with people you care about.
I love crazy dance floors at weddings for these reasons (and I’ve been known to get a bit crazy myself on my own time), so I knew right from the start that I’d have a great time documenting the wedding where the bride is a fitness instructor and dancer.
But I was doubly excited, because Lindsay and Brian are my neighbors. I didn’t have to just guess that they were awesome, I know that they are. You form a certain bond with people when you play Rock Band with them, and I have respect for anyone that can stand my singing voice.
The beauty of the New York Botanical Gardens was a fantastic backdrop for the outsized personalities of this great couple, their friends and families. Thank you Lindsay and Brian; I’ll see you in Rock Band.
V Tran - Not sure what sort of craziness is going on in the last photo with the red sky and white streak but whatever it is, it looks cool. Good way to cap of the preview!
Nash Ruiz - Great Job Ryan!!!
May - I don;t know how you manage to get such amazing candid shots! beautifully done! as usual!
Craig Cacchioli - Love these a lot Ryan. Really like the shot of the first dance where it looks like you placed the flash in a doorway to create the shadow of the chandelier above the couples head. Inspired vision. Would love to know your setup for the evening reception. Looks like 2 flash heads in opposing corners bounced off the ceiling with a 3rd on camera flash.
Luis Faustino - Excellent material as usual!
Love that last shot with the light trails :)
Michael Jurick - Hi Ryan – another fantastic collection! Your clients must be so thrilled. I LOVE the light-painting image (last photon in the post). Can you share how you achieve that? I would love to try that with some of my Bar/Bat Mitzvah kids.
Phil - The last picture looks like it is a long exposure and you running around painting with light? Regardless how it was achieved it is awesome and I love it!
C.J. Kyles - As always, amazing work. Are you using a macro lens for your ring shots?
