Nina + Doran in Berkeley, CA
I am a photojournalist and I've never worked as a fashion photographer, but I imagine that working with models is not that much different than photographing Nina and Doran. These two were complete naturals in front of the camera - they moved with such ease and grace and were so very comfortable with each other. I guess that's the type of chemistry you get after being together for seven years.
Although Nina and Doran may have been together for a long time, they planned their wedding in about two months. TWO MONTHS! They kept the focus of their day on the ceremony, which was truly a coming together of their closest family and friends who have supported their relationship throughout and will continue to support their marriage. It was obvious that everyone in attendance has been important in their life, and each and every guest bore witness to and signed their gorgeous ketubah. So many people contributed to their wedding as many things including the cake, ketubah, bouquet and boutonnieres were all made by friends. Their wedding festivities were made all the more special by the fact that they married on the weekend of Nina's grandparents (who traveled from Houston for the event) 62nd wedding anniversary. Congrats you two! You're such lovely people and it was an honor to photograph your wedding!
