Dancing in the dark with Brook and Peter

Posted by Chris Mann Posted in General |

Last Saturday’s wedding at The Somerset on Grace Bay was a little different from our typical weddings - Brook and Peter from New York held their wedding ceremony after sunset in accordance with Jewish tradition - so we had to bring our video lights and flash equipment so that we could cover the ceremony, which was outdoors on the beach.

We’ve covered wedding ceremonies like this a few times before so it’s not a problem - and although the ceremony coverage is not quite so straightforward on the technical side as with a daytime wedding, we always have a great time photographing the preparations as the sun goes down, and also the dancing at the reception afterwards - and this wedding was no exception.

While I photographed Brook getting ready with her mom and matron of honor, Kellie got some great shots of Peter.

I really like this shot of Anne looking at her beautiful daughter…

Then while the guests gathered on the boardwalk for cocktails, we covered the “family formals” and also took some shots of Brook and Peter on the beach as the sun went down.

Here’s everybody at sunset - just before we all took our places around the chuppah for the ceremony…

So many congratulations to Peter and Brook - here’s hoping you’re having a great honeymoon, and thank you for asking us to photograph your wedding!
