Melinda and Sean happened to find me on a google search for their very intimate NYC elopement, but little did they know 2 weeks prior I had photographed her sisters elopement in Brooklyn. It was beyond a coincidence and such an awesome story. It was my pleasure working with Sean and Melinda. They married at the NYC fire house museum on spring street and then had a small photo shoot around the neighborhood after. These film images were taken on a vintage 35 mm camera and they’re just to die for. I love film.
Photo taken of me by my 6 year old daughter luchiana, back in my old hood, on the upper west side, my own small town, its weird to be a new yorker and think like that, but when you grew up here thats truly what its like, your apt and the 5 block radius around it becomes your own small town and in many ways as a small kid its all that exists. I love this place it gave me so much awareness of culture art and the reality of the world we live in, since you are confronted with that daily, i still have the pleasure of coming back here often to drop film at @proimagephoto and our kids pediatrician is still here. Walking around yesterday with my kids was so bitter sweet. Ultimately i think we made a good choice to live more rural, but grateful i will always have my ties and roots here and still get to work here..
