New York Wedding in Manhattan At The Riverside Church

Last month I flew to New York to cover a wedding in Manhattan. It was held at The Riverside Church in upper Manhattan and the whole place was just stunning. It was raining a day before and there was a chance of a storm/hurricane on the day of the wedding. Luckily, it all cleared up by the time I arrived at the hair salon and we had no rain until the wedding was over.

As with all cathedrals in New York, use of flash was not allowed for most of the ceremony. I had to thank myself on upgrading my cameras recently. 🙂

Back to the wedding. The wedding was absolutely amazing. We took a few photos inside and outside right after the ceremony. Reception was on the 9th floor of the Riverside church! One thing that caught my attention was their wedding cake. On top the cake there was a figurine of a bride and groom dancing. Immediately an idea came to my head to use this somehow during the actual dance. I closely watched the couple as they started dancing, positioning myself at a desired angle in attempt to get that unique journalistic photograph with “2 dancing couples”. A photo of what came out of it can be seen in one of the examples bellow.
