Samuel + Carrie

We had this wildly windy day in Wicker Park for our shoot last week -- we kept joking that the wind was a third character in Carrie + Sam's love story, a really great one by the way. You should hear the account of Sam's proposal ... I'll just say it involves a couple dozen of Carrie's favorite people hiding behind open newspapers in a subway car in Manhattan, armfuls of orchids, and one seriously creative guy.

Here's a few from the day, featuring Myopic, the Blue Line, and Big Star (my favorite badly-kept-secret hangout).
















PS Sam is a film maker and creates these generous, incisive documentaries, as well as genius music videos.

Thank you! We'll all treasure these as we prepare to celebrate. My favorite is the one of them walking out of the bookstore.

Thanks Annie, thanks Anna! Sam + Carrie are so fun to photograph -- I'm glad it shows!

A poetic narrative of a hugely Romantic and intriguing couple, interpreted with vivid imagination, and no single trace of even the slightest banality - a great fit between subjects and photographer - all with imaginative vision.
