New York. What can I say? Everything about the city excites me.

I had the honor of working with Grace Ormonde in Chelsea Piers, New York for her 2012 Fall / Winter Wedding Style Magazine. This photo was quite a challenge. In order to properly compensate for the background cityscape, I had to light the foreground appropriately. In normal circumstances, that is easy. However, this beautiful white and orange table top has a sheen that reflected artificial lighting in the most unflattering way.

After about two hours of struggling, this centerpiece became a full spread when it was originally supposed to be printed as a vertical single page.
