I don’t really want to say too much about this real wedding in New York City, shot by Corin Bishop. The photos speak a million words. The couple are Jeanita and Conor, and the wedding was in Central Park – no friends, no family, just the two of them. (They were having a big party back home) I just think it’s such a wonderful idea, and it worked for them so well, you can just sense how relaxed, content, excited, and in-the-moment the two are.
Yellow cabs, Central Park benches, falling leaves, the hustle and bustle of the Grand Central Terminal… if this looks like a movie, then you’ll be glad to know you can have it all too! The right photographer and the right season make all the difference.
The photographer
Corin, the photographer, says: “It turns out it was just going to be Jeanita and Conor for their real wedding in New York City. No family or friends (that’s what the party back home was for!). The wedding was to be in Central Park. Very relaxed but very intimate and personal. They were really into getting nice photos. They we’re up for pretty much anything and wanted to make the most of the opportunity. My head was buzzing with three billion ideas, and after meeting I realised how much we were thinking along the same lines.”
“I also needed to be realistic and remember it’s not all about getting cool images. It’s about documenting their day, recording this moment in their life that means so much to them. We got to Central Park with gorgeous colours, fab light and the temperature was perfect! At this point I didn’t want to interfere too much. I gave basic tips to Jeanita and Conor and set them off. I didn’t want to make everything too posed!”
