Rochester Wedding Photography | David & Krishna

Thursday, October 15, 2009

David and Krishna, you are both such funny and free spirited people – I very much enjoyed working with you two. You are each incredible dancers. I think that might have been my favorite part – watching you dance together, silly, playful, Bollywood style :) David, your brother’s speech made that ranks of my all-time favorites…Some guys collect stamps, coins, bugs, baseball cards, but unicorns…that’s unique lol. I suppose that no matter how old we get our older siblings will never deny their innate obligation to embarrass us :) I wish you two the very best and look forward to hearing from you.
