Jeff Tisman

The funny thing about this image is it took place at a venue I have photographed at numerous times. It is Tendenza in Philadelphia PA. My assistant and I finally sat down to have some dinner after being on our feet all day. We both fell back into our seats when I looked over towards the bathroom. It just came to me immediately. I asked my assistant to get two flashes. And yes he looked at me like he wanted to kill me. I smiled and asked again. I set up one flash in each bathroom trying to get the angle right to get the shadows correct. After some time I had it. We asked the bride & groom to come to the bathroom with us. They looked at us a little suspicious as if "what is Jeff going to have us do"? After making the guests wait a bit to use the bathroom and trying to get the hands lined up we nailed the shot. Another tricky aspect of the image was the groom was about 6'2 and the bride was about 5'4. We had to find a box for her to stand on. The bride and groom loved it and have a 24x36 canvas of it in their home.
