I have met some of the most interesting and generous people through my photography. I would have to say it’s by far the most exciting part of my job. Every wedding is an opportunity to meet more and more wonderful people. Which brings me to Michael and Christele. Michael grew up here in New York while Christele is originally from France. They both now live in San Francisco. If they were able to find each other after growing up half a world away than surely they have something very special. I think they just won the award for having the most diverse list of wedding guests I’ve seen so far!
When Ashley and myself started taking pictures of Michael getting ready he mentioned, in his delightfully casual manner, that he would meet us later on the beach for the wedding. His plan was to ride his bike through the woods and grab a bouquet of flowers and present them to Christele as a surprise during the ceremony. It wasn’t until I heard him repeat his plan to his family numerous times that I began to take him seriously. He actually did just that. He hopped on his bike in his 3 piece suit and he met us at the beach! This set the tone for a beautiful and delightfully unique wedding complete with a great view of the bay and fireworks on the beach.
Ashley and I decided we want to hire Michael and Christele’s I-pod as the DJ for our wedding by the way.
Take care Michael and Christele! And congratulations!
