The most important thing to know about Richard & Char: They don’t do anything halfway.
Richard rented a billboard on I-95 in Philadelphia to announce their engagement to the world. When their honeymoon flight got bumped up, keeping them from attending a planned family brunch the day after the wedding, Richard bought life-sized cardboard cut-out photos of him & Char to attend in their absence.
There’s more.
Richard is Jewish and Char is Asian. So they had two ceremonies in one day. They had elaborate attire for each. There was an intimate Chinese ceremony in the morning and then a large Western wedding in the afternoon. Realizing most of their guests hadn’t seen them in their Chinese wedding clothing, Richard & Char changed back into those clothes for the cocktail hour. And then back into their Western clothing for the reception.
You get the idea. These are true wedding over-achievers. Which is the best kind of all.
You’ll see that I had a lot to work with.
It was great to work at the Ritz Carlton in Philadelphia & I'm always happy to have the help of Joe Craig second shooting. Special props to Kate Duffy: car-driving, strobe-holding, stand-hauling, photo-boothing extraordinaire.
Richard & Char: You feel like old friends. I like you both a lot. Thanks for your encouragement & Philadelphia foodie advice.
And if I ever need help getting from point A to point B in Philly, I know who to call. ;)
