AVAM Wedding: Aliza and Dan
As much as being kind and thinking of others represents counterculture, AVAM provided a perfect locale for Aliza and Dan, as a place dedicated to those who create no matter what the rules are. Aliza and Dan also "do their own thing" in terms of spreading love and affection. Witnessing their wedding, and their families and friends, it was easy to see the loving environment they came from, as well.
They did away with many of the standard conventions of a wedding, emphasizing the things they liked and the atmosphere they wanted to create, one focused on the party and the people there. In short, it was fun. Supported by a fine band, everyone danced with energy until the end. (Dan, especially, retained fine skills throughout the entire night. How did he do that?!) Aliza and Dan did away with the cake and instead had a pie. And near sundown, we made a few images of them outside, in the relative quiet of the evening.
Thank you, both, Aliza and Dan, for inviting me to photograph your wedding.
