FROM THE VAULTS

AUGUST 30, 2011 / WEDDINGS

I have been meaning to post this for what seems to be ages. This has to be one of my favorite weddings. I normally deep down dread going to a shoot knowing that the weather is going to be less than desirable. However, it forces you to get creative with light and happy accidents can occur. Luckily, Kim and Titus have impeccable taste! They choose the vibrant (yet moody) and dramatic Gramercy Park Hotel for their wedding. We didn't even have to step outside! It has since been one of my favorite places to shoot. Here are some of my favorites from the day...
