Tania and Ben - A Great Day with Great Memories!!

Again, if you've been following this blog, you'll recall Tania and Ben's engagement session from a couple of months ago. I knew as soon as I shot it that we would have a great time on their wedding! We started at the Tania's apartment downtown with her hair and make-up.

This was a shot we got using a small make up mirror they were using. 


Love the expression! This was just before she got changed.


These next two were taken in the bride's living room...



And these next two were taken across the street and just a little bit down the road from the bride's apartment complex. I loved the colors and the ultimate result was great! The bride and I had a blast taking these shots! Thanks Tania!



From there I moved to the groom's room at the Hyatt Regency Downtown. We got this one at the window...


and this one in the lobby's elevator hallway...



This was a first for me. The bride and her parents made the trip to the ceremony (at the gazebo in Old Town) in this covered bicycle. It was defiantly the coolest vehicle I've ever seen used for a wedding!



What can I say? Some people just don't have bad angles to photograph...

The first batch of romantics (after the ceremony) we shot here on the steps at Old Town...



and we shot this one on the swing set at the park across the way. What fun!


Ok, now THIS was REALLY awesome! The theater in Belen where Tania and Ben were having their reception displayed their names here on the marquee. But as if that wasn't cool enough...


They had the staff get out a ladder and they both climbed up there!!!


In order to get this shot I had to have them bring the ladder over to the side of the building and lean off the side holding my camera out further (while someone held the base of the ladder so I wouldn't fall and break something) lol. I love the stories you get at weddings!


Money dance + safety pins = REALLY interesting shirt + tie :-)

Ok, so there were a lot of great shots at this wedding, but for me there weren't any more fun then one we got using the phone booth that you can see in the backdrop of photo below. I had been wanting to try a certain shot for a few weeks and for some reason I just felt like I would take a chance and bring along a Superman shirt that I've had laying around for a while. The bride and groom and I had kept the idea in the back of our heads for most of that day thinking we'd give it a try if the opportunity presented itself. Well, when we saw the phone booth below at the reception we knew that we had to try it! Ben took the shirt, and went to change. When he came back, Tania went over to him and asked if he was wearing it and reached for his shirt to pull it open. The look on her face was priceless as she saw that "S" underneath! It really was priceless!


We toped it off with the shot below. It was classic! As soon as Ben and Tania were in the phone booth and Tania pulled open his shirt the reception went ABSOLUTELY WILD!!! Moments only last for a little while, but memories... memories we take with us forever!!


Thanks guys!! It was a BLAST shooting your wedding and I can't wait for the "trash it" session!
