Many things were photographed during the Sichuan earthquake in China on May 12th. Images of destruction and suffering have swarmed the news, and something that has just recently surfaced are images of a Western-Style wedding in the town of Pengzhou. All images have been sourced from the New York Times website.
Shaina and Chaim enjoyed a fantastic simcha at the Universal Hilton. What made their wedding different from most was their Sheva Brocha Guestbook. Below is a collection of photos that I custom bound into a book and presented to the bride and good just 48 hours after the chuppah.
Walking into a clients home and finding a Peter Luers portrait on the wall is always a welcome experience. Its nice to know the family likes photography and has an active interest in preserving their history - and a good sign that they’ll appreciate your work too 
We started getting ready photos at Shayna’s parents house and moved things along to a local park. To get around the couple had the biggest H2 limo I’ve ever seen - compete with four axles and space for 40 occupants! (photos of that are in the slideshow)
UPDATE: Rivkah and Sam’s online proof gallery is now active, complete with a 15% discount on all prints for the first 30 days. Please click here to view the proofs.
Just missing the rain showers the preceding day, Rivkah and Sam enjoyed patchy blue skies and great weather on a Thursday afternoon at the Universal Sheraton. Brad Schachter of Nefesh Music provided the music for the chuppa and endless dancing as MGM Catering strut their stuff with an impressive display of kosher soul-food, topped off with dessert bar, chocolate fountain and coffee bar. Ruchie Stillman coordinated, keeping the event moving like a swiss timepiece.
