<p class="gutenify-section-c9f79200-4dd6-11ef-bbad-5b6ff2e860b6">I met with Evan and Eliza at St. Moses the Black Orthodox Church, where they both work as members of the Orthodox Volunteer Corps. After we talked about wedding photography possibilities, we went outside, and sought a venue where I could get some shots of them posing, or talking with one another.   The ideal location might have been a park, but there were none nearby, and the light was starting to fade at the end of the day. We found a nearby street with overhanging trees, which made for a nice dark background against which they "popped." Here are some of the results.</p>
