Now that it’s mid-December, it is time to reflect on my favorite wedding photos of the year.  I love the film photography I shot in October at a wedding at Hotel on Rivington and Angel Orensanz. The images of Criseida getting into her dress were so infused with light, and the joy can be felt in the images with her mother and friends on the balcony. Capturing intimate moments at the beginning of the wedding day are priceless.

These 5 images were shot on Kodak Portra film. Film is slower than digital, you pause, you craft your image, you load more film you shoot more. I love how these film images exude calm before an energy-filled ceremony with drumming and dancing to come. Crissy, with her mother and friends soon after strolled over to Angel Orensanz to meet her groom. It was a very exciting walk over!
