COVID weddings are precious and few

2020 has been a strange year for wedding photographers, as well as event planners, florists, cake artists, etc. Needless to say, COVID has cut deeply into our livelihood. The weddings we have photographed since March have been small. Many we had booked have been postponed or downsized.

That makes the few weddings we were able to photograph this year that much more special.

Here are a few recent award-winning images, the first two from a COVID-aware October wedding and the last from a February reception.

I don't post photographs of myself on my blog very often. But I liked the juxtaposition of this photograph my friend Manuel Llaneras took of me documenting dancing at Alison and Abe's Academy of Medicine reception with the one I was taking.

Here's the photograph I was taking. If you look closely, you can tell that the two photos were not taken at exactly the same time, but it's still fun to study the differences created by perspective and angle of view.
