I did an engagement shoot in Long Island City yesterday and I had a few things in mind. First, I wanted to get something a little different from what most people would get. Second, this is such a lovely couple and I wanted to portrait them as tall and elegant as the city itself. Third, I want to frame them within the frame and for that I use the trees that I found nearby. Fourth, I wanted the sun's rays bursting above them, the light that will guide them through marriage. The couple already saw the picture and they loved it. In fact, they chose this picture to be displayed at the entrance of the ballroom during their wedding day.
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.
