Anthony was referred to us through family, and we were very impressed with his artistic eye and professionalism. Being new to the wedding photography business, he handled our requests for certain shots with enthusiasm. Anthony had a lot to deal with as far as lighting, since the place we got married was adequately lit but you are surrounded by floor to ceiling windows, and there was an overcast all morning/afternoon, with sporadic moments of sun (photographers nightmare). Anthony would take the same shot multiple times, each with different lighting techniques, which guaranteed a successful picture each time. We were really impressed with even some of the experimental photos, most of which turned out to be our favorites, like some black and white shots, a shot with two figures sitting still but everyone else looks like they're moving really quickly, an overhead shot from the top of the balcony which got the whole floor to ceiling window and the entire bridal table (that one was edited because of the overcast weather but we were really satisfied with the time and dedication he put into it), and shot with me and my husband at the altar taken from afar but he zoomed in and somehow bounced the light off the floor, making it look like there was a spotlight on us. Also my personal favorites...some solo shots of me looking out the window, and he softened them to make it a more dreamy looking photo. He was dedicated to ensuring we had at least one great photo of every important moment; and there are many! I was impressed that aside from the all important family and bridal party shots, there weren't a ton of staged photos; you know the typical ones, where the figures know they're being photographed. Instead we have a lot of shots showing the honest emotion on faces, like my head buried in my Dads chest during our dance, or a closeup of my husband and I rubbing noses during our first dance, us giving each other this "we did it!!" look after The Kiss, or the smiles on the guests faces during lunch, or just in conversation with each other. Those are the moments you can't re shoot for a wedding.
