Intimate Backyard Russian/Jewish Wedding in Queens (Rego Park)
Elizabeth and Roman’s family hosted an intimate wedding for the bride and groom to-be in their private home in Queens, with the ceremony taking place during the evening in the backyard followed by a dinner reception indoors for close friends and family members. The couple and the family were both Jewish so traditional rituals were observed, including Ketubah signing, reading of the seven blessings, and breaking of the glass.
Here are some of my favorite images from this shoot (click/tap to view full size and un-cropped):
All images in this blog post were shot on a Nikon D750, using a Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 and Nikkor 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 lenses, and individually post-processed in Adobe Lightroom using my own custom presets.
