4 weddings and a birthday

The wedding season is in full swing and Daniel and I are as busy as ever!

Our last few weddings have been a bit of a roller-coaster ride for me, from receiving a rave review for the first (shot with one of our photographers, Frances) and being called (brace yourselves…) Daniel’s assistant throughout the last! Although I did introduce myself as his partner, I was continuously referred to as the assistant, but didn’t want to say anything because it seemed so trivial… but it was a bit of a blow, I must admit! And the shoe certainly does NOT fit, thank you very much!

Daniel also shot the rainy wedding of Veronica and Andrew with his good friend and one of our photographers, Jeremy. For most brides and grooms, rain is often feared on the big day, but if we can let you in on a little secret… we love rain for photos! The lighting is great when it’s overcast and the rain makes for photos reminiscent of the closing scene in Breakfast at Tiffany’s (my all-time favourite!).

Earlier in the month, Frances, Daniel and I drove down to New York City for the amazing wedding of Leena and Rahul which took place at the Tribeca Rooftop (tribec.com), an absolutely gorgeous venue. As its name suggests, Tribeca Rooftop performs ceremonies on the roof with great views of the city. Daniel shot video with a 25 pound camera (which, if you’ve ever met him, you know is a large percentage of his own body-weight!) and he’s working on the editing right now as I write this. Stay tuned for the trailer under the “video” section of the website.

In other news, Daniel turned 23 last weekend. To celebrate his birthday, we made reservations at our favourite spa and had a couples’ manicure and massage; you know, for an extra-manly day! To top it off, at Daniel’s request, we went to see the Sex and the City movie (the second time for me) where he further asserted his masculinity by shedding a few tears. Poor Daniel, I must stop emasculating him in this way! I do love his sensitivity, but sometimes my love for teasing him about it wins out…

We’ll be in touch again soon!

Something new

Welcome to the new and improved At First Sight! We’ve got so much going on right now, what with the new website, invitations, a portfolio that keeps growing every week, and, of course… me! I am At First Sight owner Daniel Kudish’s girlfriend and just recently, Daniel asked me to become his business partner as well. It’s not a proposal, but it’s a start, right?
I’m thrilled to be a part of this company as a photographer, invitation designer, and official blogger (I have a journalism degree so my dear parents will be glad to see that my writing background isn’t going to waste!).
But enough about me, this is about you and one of the most important days of your life. If you’re here, reading this, you are either considering us or have already chosen us to capture your wedding day. You’ll be inviting us into a personal, intimate ritual that we know is sacred to you, so in return, I offer you a glimpse into our lives through this blog.
Here I shall keep you up to speed on our weddings, professional and personal endeavors, and I’m sure to find myself venting to you about my boyfriend/business partner!
It’s going to be an interesting summer; we have about fifty weddings including a few that are out of town… Stay tuned!
