Harvest colours

It seems a long way from Brian Dorsey’s TriBeCa studio to a pumpkin field in New Jersey, but then his clients have commissioned him for events everywhere from Anguilla to Acapulco, and Quebec to Rio.

What caught our eye about this very striking album was how Brian had reflected his client’s tastes in it. Cindy and Eric were married in October, and the bride’s favourite colour is orange – so think Halloween and harvest time, pumpkins, trees changing colour with the Fall… and all matched harmoniously with the striking autumnal cover image, the matching leather binding, the chocolate-on-ivory pagemounts.

The ceremony took place in the couple’s local church in New Jersey. The bride’s mother had worked for years with a local farmer who gave them access to his grounds for photography. A special hay ride carried the bridal party to the shoot in the pumpkin patch.

Oh, and the bride is a candy fiend! So her theme was candy. She made the lollipop tree centrepieces herself, and dessert was a candy bar! We think it’s great that the personal touches and special moments of “our day” can reflect truthfully who we are.
