Shot my first gay wedding!

Mat and Redmond

And hope it will be first in the line of many...

I don't usually post too much about weddings on this blog, but plan to do more soon because I just keep shooting these amazing and unique celebrations. Just this month I shot Mat and Redmond's commitment ceremony, a Muslim Indian wedding and a wedding of the son of a billionaire on their massive estate (with original Henri Cartier-Bresson prints hanging throughout the manor, of course). This is one of the reasons why I love living in New York-- there are so many different cultures to celebrate right in our very communities.

I was so lucky to be a part of this special event in the lives of Mat, Redmond and their families and thought it was an amazing way to show my support on NYC Pride day. A video of the days happenings is soon to follow. Their commitment to each other and determination to make their union official despite state recognition or societal standards was truly inspiring. Congrats fellas!
