Reynaldo & Marcia Wedding

Haven't updated anything in quite a while. It's not that I haven't taken any photos during this time, it's just that I have been so busy moving in the past couple of months that I simply don't have the time to go through what I took. That and it's Winter time in NY. Winter isn't exactly my favorite season to go out and take photos. =D

But today, I will finally post some photos from a wedding that I took back in Dec. 1, 2008. This wedding was a first for me. It was an extremely small one. There were the bride and the groom, the 5 family members, the priest and myself for a total of 9 people. I certainly felt honored, but at the same time awkward to be there.

The wedding ceremony took place in a small NYC Italian restaurant at 5:30pm. The restaurant had very dim lighting (which I was very much afraid of as I'll have to resort to using the flash). Since the restaurant was small, there really wasn't much room for me to move around to begin with and when there were other customers coming into the restaurant, the space available to me got even more limited. When adding these two factors together to photograph a bride who's dark skinned, we got ourselves a not so easy task.

Marcia and Reynaldo, thank you for having me be part of your special day. I wish you two the best.

Now, onto some of my favorites from that day.

I love the serene look on Reynaldo, Marcia and her god mother.


This is probably my top 1 favorite from that day.
