Gearheads and Uncle Bobs

i know i’m going to hear this from at least one uncle

There’s an affectionate term that wedding photographers have for the old guy that inevitably pops up at every wedding. “Uncle Bob.” The photography enthusiast at your wedding. Yes, he’s probably an uncle (might be your dad, nephew, brother); and yes, for whatever reason, it’s usually a guy. He’s the one with a big old camera around his neck who feels compelled to take photos of anything and everything.

This guy with a camera usually comes up to me and asks me:

“Whatcha shooting with?”

I show him my cameras and his eyes widen — “Wow, what a set-up! That’s a lot of money right there!”

I was thrilled to return to New Mexico to capture this wedding. New Mexico: the land of striking colors, bracing clear air, long roads through hushed landscapes.

Ross and Becky - Jewish Wedding at the Fig House

Becky and Ross picked The Fig House in Highland Park for their wedding venue, which was an excellent choice for the kind of party they wanted to host for their wedding day. The mood was modern, stylish, but with some delightfully nerdy touches: each table had a quote from a favorite TV show, and their first dance was set to a song from Disney’s “Hercules.” (Peep the guitar solo photo!)

Tender tiny backyard elopement in Beverly Hills, complete with a pool jump so sweet I had to make a GIF out of it.
