Amy & Anne’s Wedding @ The Ruins at the Astor
As I sat down to edit the photos from Amy and Anne's wedding day, I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and gratitude. Capturing their love story was not just about showcasing pretty pictures—it was about delving into the depths of their unique connection and bringing their bold and creative vision to life.
The moody tones and vintage-inspired aesthetics of their wedding day echoed the raw and historical character of the industrial venue they chose. As I sifted through the images, I found myself drawn to the cinematic feel that infused each portrait—from the intimate moments shared in the mezzanine to the edgy and unconventional first dance to Michael Jackson's classic hit, Thriller.
Amy and Anne's fearless style was a reflection of their unconventional love, and through my lens, I was able to capture the essence of their relationship in a way that felt deeply nostalgic and artistic. The romantic table settings, the alternative wedding inspiration, and the unique details all came together to create a visual story that was as bold and creative as the couple themselves.
As a photographer, it is moments like these that allow me to truly connect with my craft and to grow on a personal and professional level. I am constantly inspired by couples who dare to be different, who embrace their individuality and who trust me to capture their love in a way that is authentic and true to their vision.
Amy and Anne's wedding day was a reminder of the power of love and the beauty of embracing the unconventional. It was a magical day filled with laughter, tears, and moments that will be cherished forever. And as I continue on this journey as a photographer, I am grateful for the opportunity to document love stories that are anything but ordinary.
