Rio Love

December 28th, 2009

If I haven’t talked your ear off about it for the past six months, you are a fortunate soul.  I am currently in Brazil for an indefinite period of time.  The initial reason my ticket was booked was for my dear friends’ wedding.  After being laid off from my art director position at Honey Magazine, I was presented with a window of opportunity that doesn’t come along all that often to leave Brooklyn for a little while longer than anticipated.  Instead of freezing in New York this winter, I’ll be working on my tan, photographing the favelas, and handing out my lovely new business cards.  (Side hustle: download my resume here if interested.)

Anyway, the wedding was in Corcovado at the Cristo Redentor.  Super touristy and crowded, but the view was worth the overpriced tram ride that happened to break on the way up and make us late to the ceremony.  The chapel was tiny and full of family and friends, and afterward there were tourists everywhere which made for a difficult photo situation, but the bride and groom looked so happy it kind of cancels out the clutter.  The rest of the set can be viewed on flickr.
