It seems like 2012 was a year of fashion for my couples. I had a bride who had a tattoo of the Chanel logo. I had a bride who the dress designer met by chance and simply insisted she must come to Italy for a private fitting. And of course so many fabulous shoes, in particular the Louboutins with their pristine, delicate red soles, fetish objects as much as footwear. But this was the first time that those red soles belonged … to the groom.
Yes, Christine knows Jesse quite well, and knew exactly what to get her fashion-conscious groom as a wedding gift. Shoes to walk down the aisle together in; to dance like a madman in … and, with their spikes, probably fairly useful for self-defense, but that luckily never came up. And they were put to good use, with a dance party so wild that I suspect the Bachelor’s Party was held at breakdance camp. It was a wild, fun day thanks to them and their friends and family, and thanks as well to Dave Paek, who did a great job helping out as always, and probably had the most important job of all, as he handled the shoes.
Dale Lempa - Awesome details and action shots.
Owen Cherry - Really great stuff, as always! Can you tell me a bit about the lighting on the first first dance shot(the one next to the b&g running down the stairs with the giant faces)? Are you using two sources, one camera right and one camera left? Nikon strobes? Studio strobes?
matt haines - What a great mix of emotion and humor to that set!
When you’re doing the backlit strobe thing for the getting-ready shots, do you snoot or grid your strobes? They seem very “controlled”. Or perhaps they’re just close to the subject? It’s a nice look, especially with the hair spray.
Martin Hambleton - Joyous. It shines through every frame.
Neil Redfern - Amazing as always, your creativity always shines through every image. I love the reception shots! :-)
Gautam Narayanan - What lovely pictures. Great moments..
Hardy - The moments, the colors and the feel of the photos – I dig everything. GREAT work
Monica Justesen Photography - Stunning work, as always, Ryan.
I am in love with her shoes, too!
Denver Boudoir Photographer | Brooke Summer - WOW I love the groom’s shoes! It is so fun when the guys have those details too, not just the bride!
