I seem to be on a Matt kick lately. Actually I’ve been friends with Matt here for years and when he finally popped the question he and Zahava came to me and asked if I would photograph their wedding. Matt was the best man in my wedding so clearly I was happy they asked me to be their photographer but was saddened to learn that they had selected a date that I already had booked. As a consolation, and a wedding gift I did their engagement photos.

Typically I take my couples outside and we go to either Frick Park, the Strip District, or some other very cool location. In fact I don’t think that I’ve ever done engagement photos in the studio but they requested it so we did it. It was a lot of fun! I usually don’t get to shoot tethered, (which is with my camera attached to my laptop), I like shooting this way because I can instantly show the couple their raws.

We spent about 30 to 45 minutes posing and shooting and in the end we came out with a few great shots. Another thing that is funny these days is that many of the couples I work with don’t publish their engagement photos in the newspaper but Matt and Zahava have chosen to do so which is great! The photo above is the one they are publishing.

I wish you both so much luck in your lives together and am so happy for you. I know you two are perfect for each other, I’m so glad that we’re friends and only wish I could have been there to photograph your wedding.
