Matt & Dani have such an amazing story to tell, I was so honored to document their wedding. They met with each other before the ceremony, and the time was filled with such respect mingled with passion, it was beautiful and overwhelming to observe.
Moments before the ceremony, one of my favorite images from the day. Matt’s best man, his father and two pastors pray with Matt.

We have everything from Rochester NY to the Scottish highlands!
I’ll update you with the stories behind all these images through the next week or two.

I am proud to introduce, the redesign of www.NeilCowley.com….
Yes, thank you, thank you, please hold your applause.
The site that used to host everything, got way too big, way too confusing now hosts a simple wedding portfolio, and to introduce that I’m posting a podcast version of the main gallery here, but do check in to the www.NeilCowley.com gallery and view the fullscreen, high resolution view of this show as it will certainly knock your socks off as you view the photos in high resolution clarity and brilliance.

Well I spent half the day today at Letchworth with Dee and Bill, reminded me again of this Letchworth wedding. There’s always a struggle to get something unique, vs. doing something our clients have seen us do before…..
We like pleasing you and all, but there’s something that can’t be repeated in every shot. In this one, Erica and Josh just stopped on the steps to do a little kissing before they broke out into plain sight again, and as they picked a perfect spot with the light streaming down through the leaves - I was able to capture it. And then I enhanced the feeling a little with some magical additions in post-production. I like the hidden feeling in this shot — not the clear big subjects that I am usually shooting.
Such is the fun of not repeating yourself, because the double whammy from the photographer’s perspective is that I judge myself on all the previous images I’ve shot at a given location too. When a client asks me to repeat this or that shot - I’m tempted to ask them ‘can you match that romantic gesture’ or that dramatic air that the previous couple created. Is that unfair to ask of you my subjects, if you ask me to do a similar shot you’ve seen before?

I had been wanting to see the Richard Serrra exhibit and there’s never enough time to connect with my NYC clients so I was able to stop by the exhibit and connect with Erin and Josh at the same time. Their story was a fun one to watch unfold as well as listen to….
