Gwen+ Bill's Engagement


Sometimes my biggest job on a shoot is to raise the energy level. Not with Gwen and Bill.

I was just trying to keep up.

Gwen is a pistol and Bill was game. They brought a lot of energy & fun & we had a great time of it.

We worked South Street in Philly last Saturday afternoon. It was a beautiful day and the sidewalks were brimming with people. We found some awesome nooks and crannies with nice texture and color.

I had made stilts for the shoot knowing Gwen would be up for anything. She was.

Bill: Outstanding work. You did great. Gwen, thanks for the energy. It was everything I had hoped.

You are such a great couple.

See you in October!

Sara + Scott 03.13.10






Scott and Sara married two weeks ago in New York City. Outside, the day was dark and rainy and cold.

Inside, it was delightful.

Scott started his day with a shave and had to endure the elements a bit. Sara spent the day, prep to reception, inside Cipriani, a glorious old bank-turned-venue on the Lower East Side.

It was one of the most beautiful weddings I’ve ever seen, thanks largely to Lindsay Landman who helped Sara realize her vision.

Scott and Sara: You are an amazing couple and wonderful, genuine people with great family and friends. Your wedding was spectacular and everything you wanted it to be. Thank you for letting me be part of it.

Big thanks to second shooter Mustafah Abdulaziz who seems never to miss a single moment.

Best,
Douglas
