Last month I photographed a beautiful and fun wedding at the home of Jason & Simon in Hillsdale, NY. Simon is from England and they had family and friends from all over the world, which made it really special. Plus a beautiful old home, dashing dalmations, a beautifully decorated tent designed by Jason and executed by Mezze & Wildflowers, flowers by Wildflowers of Great Barrington, food by Mezze Catering. One of those days where the weather threatened to make things difficult, and everything turned out great. Recently we did a session of the boys at home and got some beautiful, more intimate, natural portraits of this great couple and their pups. Whenever possible I love to do what is commonly called an engagement session (that word makes no sense for the gay couples I have been photographing who’ve been together for many years–we need to coin a new name). These sessions at home, or at a location that has meaning for the pair allow us to capture more intimate and relaxed portraits that make for a fuller story in their wedding album. And their pups! Obviously we couldn’t get shots like that on the wedding day. Fun!
