Alyson and Nick at the Greek Orthodox Church {wedding photography}

Alyson and Nick have a typical "boy meets girl in a NY Kinkos when girl-in-a-hurry asks perfect-stranger-of-a-boy to help her with the printer; boy takes mental note of girl's employer as he sees it on the resume he's helping her print; the next day he GUESSES her email based on the math of her name plus workplace, and asks her to dinner" story. It was quite a chance meeting, but clearly meant to be, as three years later here they are getting married in SF. And Maria and I were the lucky photogs.

























Based on their history, we had to do our photo shoot at no place other than Kinkos, of course!




And after that, we were going to head to the bridge for some shots, but the fog was coming in so thick, there would have been no bridge in the pictures. So we decided that the best alternative would obviously be . . . tacos. We went over to Nick's Crispy Tacos on Polk and Broadway, and what a better option that ended up to be! Aside from filling some very empty stomachs with tasty food, Maria and I were stoked when we walked in- the place is amazing, and so unexpected!! And for a couple whose story is anything but typical, this somewhat unconventional spot for wedding photos was perfect!




And there's so much more still to share- I'll post some of their beautiful reception at the Palace Hotel soon!

How funny... I was going to say "Stunning, as usual." How lovely to be so consistent with your art, Robyn. You are amazing! I love the bride's smile in front of the very apropos Kinko's poster :)
