Committed at the Courthouse: Rachel & Michael























Rachel and Michael wanted to get married by themselves. They wanted to save the big hoopla for later and celebrate their committed love now. If it wasn't for the need of witnesses on their court documents, they would have gone about it solo. As it was, Rachel's mother and sister live near-by and were more than eager to be a part of the intimate ritual. The ceremony really was lovely and ideal. Situated in a corner office with a retiring judge who seemed to have no shortage of things to say about my camera and shooting style (I had to remind him in a whisper, "This is about them [pointing back and forth between the bride and groom]."), Rachel and Michael actualized their commitment and love amidst the glowing city lights of Smith Tower.

Before we all headed to the courthouse via fancy SUV and driver, I photographed "the family" of Rachel, Michael, Ruby and Nelson.
