Living in a Dream

Gallery: POP PhotosPosted June 1, 2013356 views13 comments

Here's to second chances! My friend Tony lived a hard life. He found his faith, and then at 60, found his partner Shelly. I was honored that they asked me to shoot their wedding. Quite the undertaking, I have new found appreciation, and respect for those of you that do this regularly.

Tony and Shelly,
D800,
24-70, 2.8
Thanks,
Chris

Wonderful picture I'm sure they will cherish!
Love the subtle "mist" in the BG Black-and-white, and that gorgeous old car.

Hey Chris, This looks great! I'm sure they are very happy with results like this. I like the dreamy feel and that old Buick looks really nice too. I did a little wedding photography for friends as well, and like you I have much respect for those who make their living that way.
