Mat + Kristina, Married

Raji Barbir — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 05:39:10 +0000

When I delivered their discs of pictures by hand, they invited me in for dinner with them. When their album is finalized, they’ve already invited me to another dinner and their very own Crême Brulée recipe. I’ll be bringing over some home-made tabouli.

I love my clients…

New York New York

Here’s what my visit to New York was like when I was there for that wedding:

1. Arrive in gorgeous New York City
2. Have an ulcer two days before the wedding
3. Go to the hospital one day before the wedding
4. Heal miraculously on the wedding day (I still really don’t know how that happened)
5. Resume the painful recovery from said ulcer

Daniel & Lauren were such a pleasure to work with. Here are just a few of the many I got that day.

NYC + iPhone

Wandering through my favorite city last year in May, a few days before the wedding I flew out there for, and snapping shots with the iPhone and my Holga.

3 days later, the DAY before the wedding in question, I ended up in the hospital with an incredibly painful ulcer, followed of course by a Lamborghini Gallardo sighting. Ulcers and Lamborghinis go together? I hope not…

NYC Wedding – Holgarized

Early into my conversation with Lauren about shooting her wedding in downtown Manhattan (specifically in gorgeous Soho), she made it clear that she was very interested in my shooting some quirky Holga photography for her.

I just about fell off my chair when she asked for it…

I’d never had anyone ask me to shoot with my beloved Holga before, so after a quick warning about its unpredictability, I absolutely jumped at the opportunity!

It’s been such a difficult few months… Here’s a couple random snapshots from my trip to St. Louis:

Justin + Melanie

Raji Barbir — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 18:37:46 +0000

After picking out a bunch of personal favorites from Justin & Melanie’s beautiful wedding for the sneak peek, I decided to do something very bold (for me at least) and go almost exclusively to black & white on all the images.

I’m really happy with what that did as a whole and it seems as though black & white is becoming a habit of mine. Almost anytime I try something in black & white, I fall in love with it and decide to leave it that way. Some of my shoots are even designed to only be presented in black & white, though these are usually model shoots (doing one later this afternoon! Woohooo!!)

Maybe my body is preparing itself for something I don’t know is coming… Like going color blind…

I’m going to start with my personal favorite from the whole wedding and possibly one of my all-time favorites:

Justin & Melanie’s rehearsal dinner

I hope you’ve already seen Justin & Melanie’s engagement session on my other website, under gallery ONE, but here’s their rehearsal dinner I was invited to.

As always, working with them is a joy. Their wedding day will be coming soon.

Andy & Erin – Married

Just two weeks before this couple’s wedding day, I got a frantic call, asking me about my availability…

I’m glad I was available! These guys were a ton of fun to work with
