In case you are not buddies with me on the Facebooks or – gasp – perhaps friends with me in real life, you may not know that I’m in the midst of a month-long trip to England. So far I find the country expensive, accessible, unfashionable, storied and quite rainy. Perhaps you think it’s unfair I call England unfashionable, but really it makes me much more comfortable wearing my normal stuff around since everyone else also looks a mess. British people also tend to have, on average, much weirder hair than Americans. I like that.
You may remember Megan and Pritpal from their gorgeous Sikh wedding, or maybe from their engagement session. Well they’re back! And I’m so excited to share this documentary family session. I’m always trying to make my work (and by necessity, my subjects) more personal, more intimate, more narrative. And this wonderful family gave me the opportunity last week when I photographed them moving into their absolutely stunning new home.
Ah, Anastasia and Nick. Teachers (up until recently), NYC dwellers (up until recently), Harvard attendees, book lovers, foodies. They threw a pretty kick-ass wedding – at a rad gallery/event space, with beautiful decor and a bar custom-built for their wedding, tasty tasty foods and more love and happiness than you can shake a stick at, if you were one for shaking a stick at love and happiness. Plus, joy of joys, they arranged for us to do formal pictures inside the Smithsonian American Art Museum. (How do I keep having clients that are into portraits at museums? Because I really, really love doing them at modern art museums.) You love this couple too, right? How could you not.
