Abigail Kirsch at Tappan Hill Mansion wedding by Ryan Brenizer

We’ve been having some fun this winter revisiting weddings, given that one of the fun things about wedding work is that it can be constantly re-interpreted. We shoot and deliver a huge amount of photos — indeed, events are the only sort of photography where it matters how good the 500th-best photo you took in a single day was. Over the course of your life, you can divvy up your photos in different ways — photos you want to put in a gorgeous album or big on your wall; photos you want to put on Facebook to show off the fun your friends had; photos your parents will put on their fridge. But also you can come back to photos and see them in different ways — with the number of photos in a wedding, it’s like that each time you will see a photo that feels like a welcome surprise.

And so we come back to Amanda and Mitchell’s wonderful wedding at the Tappan Hill Mansion to show a different way to view the images — entirely in black and white. We actually give black and white copies of each wedding photo we deliver, and it’s a great way to make it feel fresh and tell the story in new ways. Here we feel that the tone highlights the deeply felt emotion of the day.

We hope you enjoy this as much as we enjoyed revisiting this day!
