Honestly, speeches are often my favorite part of weddings. We leave the wedding feeling like we know our bride and groom just a little bit more, having been given an insight into their lives and the people that they are. And sometimes, the words and thoughts shared by those close to our brides and grooms’ hearts are a confirmation, a verbal affirmation of what we already know. One of the most poignant things said that night were that Ruby and Harvey are both people who are very comfortable in their own skin – why they are both so genuine, open and compassionate – and it rang true in every aspect of the day. They were both so anxious to see each other for their first look that when we captured them overjoyed to see each other for the first time on their wedding day, we might as well have not been there. Their traditional Jewish wedding ceremony was made more personal with their own touches and vows and afterward, they had one heck of a party which was made all the more lively with the Paul Chacra’s 1945 keeping the guests on the dancefloor most of the evening. And did their guests get their dance on – I’m talking shirts untucked, shoes thrown off and dinner-napkins-as-accessories kind of energy. And when the guests weren’t dancing, they were getting some truly awesome poses captured in our inaugural photobooth with props and costumes supplied by Ruby and her mom! What a fantastic night – check out a small sampling of our favorite images below!

Ruby - O MY GOODNESSS!!!!!!!! I can’t get over these pictures! You are right, we were so absorbed in every moment of the day that we barely even noticed you guys were around, yet you magically captured every moment! I can’t thank you enough for these truly beautiful momentos of the best day of our lives.. Thank you for keeping us organized, bringing the photobooth (what a riot!), staying until 1 am (or was it later?), and bringing your great energy and spirits to the day. We are looking forward to having you capture future milestones… XOXOXOXO RUBY & HARV
Doris (mother of the bride) - Coming from a traditionalist perspective, I admit to having been a bit wary of a photojournalistic style in wedding photography–but the images you have captured offer so much more than the usual static stuff. Your pictures are a visual delight,each with own narrative. I am looking forward to seeing more, especially since the evening sped by in a flash. Your photos have captured our family’s special moment in time, allowing us to relive the experience. (Ruby, now how many times did we look at these pictures, watch Blayre Ellestad’s video,?)Thank you Tim and Angela for your hard work, and taking your talents to enhance a special moment in our lives.
Harvey - Tim and Angela – thank you so much for these. Sunday was such a blur of joy and fun. There are some great shots in this sample, and they begin to fill in some of the blanks. You really managed to capture the spirit of the day/night. Thank you for staying cool and low key, and for the great positive energy that you brought to our event. We look forward to having you with us to capture future Unger/Knafo celebrations. Bravo!
