Wedding photography is not as easy as some seem to believe. No matter how organized a wedding is, things always don't go as planned. The makeup artist falls behind the schedule, the bride and her bridesmaids had no time to eat, the bride has not been able to sleep the night before thinking about her big day, the location can be small, dark and full of bag, shoes, cloths and other items, the light can be challenging, the weather can prevent us from executing our plans, etc, etc. In the end though our job as wedding photographers is to hide all the things that happen during a wedding and portrait the bride, the groom, their friends families as if all wen't as planned and even better. This is one of the things that separate us from the ones who own a camera and are able to snap pictures.
This picture was taken inside Saint Paul's Church at the Columbia University Campus in New York City. The bride brought a trifold with the interior of the church and as soon as I saw the doors I knew that I hd to take advantage of this place to photograph the couple as they walk out after the ceremony. This picture took me about five minutes to get done. I had to ask people to stand in one side of the doors and I had to move some church items that were right next to the door. I think my efforts were worth it. Camila and Nelson ended up buying a huge print for their living room.
