Welcome to the place where my heart and soul reside! This is where I come to write about and showcase ALL things that make a mark on me – things that are chic, beautiful, inspiring, and totally unique in the Luxury Wedding and Event Planning industries! This is also the place to find inspiration and tips from our Creative Partners. Often, the wedding and fashion worlds intertwine. So occasionally, I’ll include my favorite fashion finds, trends, and current obsessions. My desire is to give you a peek into a world that has always fascinated me and continues to excite me! Welcome to The Bridal Circle blog.
Valentine's Day Love with Photographer Andy Marcus
With Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, we thought we’d ask a happily married man {who just happens to be a fabulous wedding photographer} to share some Valentine’s Day inspiration with us. Andy Marcus of Fred Marcus Photography, a photography studio in New York that spans three generations and 70 years of artistry, is not only sharing plenty of his GORGEOUS wedding images; he’s also offering a little insight on love. Trust us, there’s plenty of straightforward and sentimental stuff as well as some sassy red hot, heart-inspired photos… Thanks Andy!
{THE BRIDAL CIRCLE}: We just have to know, what is the most romantic thing you ever did for your wife?
{ANDY MARCUS}: We went on the QE2 on a cruise to nowhere. Just a fun way to spend a few days on an amazing ship doing absolutely nothing. Just being with my lovely lady.
{TBC}: What is your all time favorite love story movie?
{ANDY MARCUS}: You’ve Got Mail with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. It’s the quintessential New York City love story – with the city and of course the film story itself.
{TBC}: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
{ANDY MARCUS}: Milk, of course.
{TBC}: When you’re photographing bridal couples do you encourage them to be spontaneous during the shoot or is posed something that works better?
{ANDY MARCUS}: I like couples to be themselves ALWAYS. I dislike stiff formal photographs with people having strained expressions on their faces. I like to kid around and get excited for my couples and I think that translates beautifully into amazing images that tell a story for generations to come.
{TBC}: What are some of the things you do to keep your wife in love with you?
{ANDY MARCUS}: My wife works with me and we kid around that she is sleeping with the boss. Humor and playfulness are a must. We try to do a lot of special things together from simple trips to new restaurants to going to galleries and looking at art for inspiration.
