PHOTOGRAPHER PICK: Jeff Zorabedian | Beltran Wedding

 

Villa Venezia | Middletown, NY

There is nothing quite like the passion of youth. Despite being just a short drive from one of the largest cities in the world, there are few weddings that Photographer Jeff Zorabedian has captured, that have been painted by as much joy and love as the Beltran wedding.

The atmosphere from the time of arrival was one of excitement. Before the bride and groom had yet to meet for their first look, the depth and love of their relationship was obvious by simply observing the bridal party. “I really enjoyed the time I got to spend with the bridal party. They're a very tight-knit group and they had so much fun hanging out.” The smiles and laughter while getting ready presented plenty of opportunities for genuine photos and was the perfect segue into the brides and groom's first look.

Taking to the venue's beautiful grounds to capture Jacqueline and Alberto’s first look, sparks were flying, and it wasn’t just from the happy couple. “There was limited time to capture the couple’s portraits because of thunderstorms in the forecast. I wanted to make sure we got outside before the weather forced us back indoors.”

Many would think the presence of thunderstorms on your wedding day to be a bad omen, but for an experienced photographer like Jeff, it provided the perfect setting for a picture-perfect photo shoot. “The overcast sky created beautiful natural lighting, allowing us to work without flash and get some really great photos.” With a little help from lady luck, Jeff was able to capture all their outdoor photos before the first drop of rain fell from the sky.

Heading indoors for their reception, not even thunderstorms could cast a shadow on Jacqueline and Alberto’s special day. Their looks of pure joy as the entered as newlyweds was enough to light up the room.

Heading into the final hours of their wedding night, the energy of the couple was just as bright as the moment they arrived. From the first to the final moment of the night, their infectious laughter and joy caused spirits to soar, creating the perfect environment to capture photos as sweet as the couple themselves.
