I was thrilled to have the opportunity to shoot Diane and Robert’s wedding in the heart of California wine country with my good friend Sam Hassas, who is a brilliant photographer from the Bay Area. The wedding was held in a vineyard, and the weather could not have been more perfect. I got to spend the morning hanging out with the guys (a fun change of pace: I’m usually with the bride!), which provided ample opportunity for photojournalism. I spent a good deal of time studying Robert Frank’s documentary style before this wedding, and while my work can only suffer from the comparison, I do believe there are elements of that influence here.
