susanstriplingphotography: I have photographed almost 1000 weddings. This is a scientifically rigorous ranking based on twenty-five years of fieldwork.
Things that scored well: rain, wind, taxidermy mice, a groom arriving at his own ceremony in a bubble, a dog who would not cooperate, Alice Cooper, pizza eaten in formalwear on a New York sidewalk, a merry-go-round, and every single person who has ever cried during vows.
Things that scored badly: nothing. There is nothing on the list. The list has no bottom.
If you’re planning a wedding in New York City or Philadelphia and you’re worried that some part of it is too weird, too loud, too small, too dark, or too much — it isn’t. Bring me the taxidermy mice. I’m not kidding.
NYC wedding photographer, Manhattan and Brooklyn, Philadelphia, and wherever else you’re getting married.
