My Brother is married!

As you may know, I spent the last couple days of November in Brazil…for a wedding. Well, the wedding was of my brother’s. He eloped with my new sister [in-law] Andrea; to a fishing village south of Rio De Janeiro. Hand picked his closest friends to facilitate with the ceremony (Priest: Sky Diamond,Video: Adam Sjoberg, Photo: ME ,Hair& Makeup: Virginia)
Everything was pre-planned but unknown to Andrea… until he popped the question (and a ring) just days before the schedule trip!
Here are a few of the images I shot on their wedding day. Slideshow to follow!
I’m soo happy to have been apart of Ira’s wedding, to be the best man was an honor and of course being asked to photograph him and his new bride was also an honor. Cheers to the newest addition of the Lippke family! Welcome Andrea!

I am Brazilian and last October I had been at Iras Studio for 2 days for the Dane Sanders workshop and I had asked him if he had been there and he said no and said he would be going to Rio, had no idea it was to elope! what an intimate gorgeous wedding and in my homeland, double awesomeness
Your pictures are WONDERFUL!! Hope to meet you some day soon.
