Liz & Stephen August 2, 2008 at St. Brendon Church

Liz and Stephen invited me to come to Boston to document their wedding. I used to live in Boston to go to Museum School. It was nice to visit the city :)
Their wedding was full of stylish R&R/rockabilly flavor. The theme pattern/color of their wedding was leopard and red. Motown band played at the reception was amazing! The soundtrack they chose included Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, Sam Cooks, The Pogues, Polyphonic Spree and so many other good music! Here's a clip of Stephen's Irish dad talking Celtic to our camera. He is quite a character.

Ru & Max




Ru and I grew up together back in Japan. And now, still, we are good friends, living and working in NYC. Before She was married to Max, I photoshopped and made up the 1st image as a joke. After they got married, the two went to visit Japan together and took the picture below. How funny! Their wedding can be seen on my website!

This is a DVD menu for their movie…again, as a joke. I was being playful…it gets on your nerve sometimes so please do not repeat for so long…Ru is saying “ I’m gonna become a Ru Porter” ( Max’s last name is porter and it sounds like Reporter...)
