Whiteout Wedding

Now, we've shot many weddings in snowy weather. We've photographed brides twirling in the show with their fur capes and muffs, then we all quickly run to the warmth of the waiting car and off to the reception we go. However, the wedding we photographed on February 1, 2011 in Farmington Hills, MI was a whole other type of "snowy weather" wedding. Bloomie and Bentzion Shemtov were married at 6:30pm outside. In the middle of a blizzard.

Some would call that peculiar, but Bloomie and Bentzion were married under the chuppah, a canopy outside, amidst 40 MPH winds with snow and sleet showering down. It is the couple's belief that being married outside would "yield the blessings of children as numerous as stars of the heavens." The ceremony was officiated by the couple's fathers and grandfathers, all Rabbis. The bride and groom and guests escaped the horizontal snow and headed indoors to celebrate. Below are some photos from their unique and special day...

Dale Fordham, of Fordham Footage, was the videographer and offered a unique service for the bride and groom. The entire wedding day was streamed live over the Internet, it was seen by friends and family all over the world including China, Israel, England, Canada, Argentina, France and Spain. Here's Dale adjusting the computer feed:
We were honored to be a part of this special wedding day, mazel tov to Bloomie and Bentzion!
