As my husband dabbles in photography and dreams of someday being able to make money at it, I gave him the job of finding us a great wedding photographer. Neither of us was keen on standard wedding photography, with all the forced poses, people standing next to each other awkwardly with their arms around each other. We wanted someone who would approach documenting our celebration in a more photojournalistic way.
Enter Peter Doyle Photography, hidden gem of the NYC wedding photography scene! He was so professional and non-intrusive; when we got the photos back I could not believe that he captured some of the moments he did, because I never even knew the camera was nearby!
Best of all, we didn’t have to give him a list of friends and relatives, he took whatever photos were natural and beautiful in the moment.
I love the mentality of no lists and pictures of the natural beauty of the event. So many times I find photographers are so focused on the bride and groom and the immediate family & bridal party that the core guests – the life force and friends get little to no paparazzi time. I wish more photographers would take into account that the guests are an important component to the day.
