It was such an honor to photograph Maria Canale's wedding at the Metropolitan Club in Manhattan.
Maria and I met a few years ago at Neiman Marcus where I was photographing her Forevermark appearances (here and here) in Boston.
The first thing I noticed about Maria was that she had a warmth and ease about her. The manner in which she interacted with everyone was with a great love for, not only the jewelry, but also for the woman who wears it. In fact, while Maria is an award-winning designer with a incredible career that began at the age of thirteen, she's also one of the sweetest and most humble designers I've ever met.
I thought, whoever she's marrying is going to be awesome! And I was right.
Maria and Prior and each of their families were absolutely wonderful. For us to be a part of their day and capture all of the moments of celebration, was a pleasure.
And with a backdrop like Manhattan, where love is always in the air, it was incredible to be a part of it all!
Thank you Maria and Prior for inviting us to share in your special day!
