christine + nick | new york botanical garden | new york | wedding

i've been waiting a long time for this one.  i first met christine and nick at marianne and duane's wedding reception.  i just remember this super excited korean girl wanting me to take her wedding pictures and nick being this really calm dude with a cool brooklyn accent.  well whenever someone's excited like that, you know it's going to be fun shooting with them. 

it all happened so fast, but what i do remember is our long limo ride to yankee stadium after the wedding and just enjoying the car ride with them.

without further ado, the highlights from their wedding.

deborah + revi | piedmont community center | oakland | wedding

i was excited to shoot deborah and revi's wedding because deborah is none other than my former roommate.  it was a very short time that we lived together, since she had to go and get married so fast.  seriously, what's the rush?  well, revi's truly a fine gentleman, so i don't blame her.  we all miss her at our little temescal co-housing community that we have here.  

for their party favors, deborah made about a hundred miniature shoes, all different types and colors.  these were all handmade and i can testify to watching her sit there for hours on end hand making each one by herself.  she's a trooper!  

here's a few highlights from her sweet wedding at the piedmont community hall in oakland.
