The Beginning + October 25, 2003 + Buffalo, NY

A very good friend toasting his new bride as they begin their life together. I took this shot from the table with no flash … he’s discussing the art of marrying the girl next door, which he did. I enjoy his ease … the hand in his pocket and her reaction to his wit … and in particular, the way his face is in half-light. He looks like he has a ton of class, which, in fact, he does.
