Fun Fun Wedding This Past Weekend

WEDDING

Nelly & Josue attend the same church I do in the Bronx called The Glory of Christ Church. So I had a wonderful and blessed time photographing their wedding.

The ceremony was at the church and the reception was at the Fiesta Banquets in New Jersey.

Here are some sample photos from the wedding:

City of Truth: Class #12 of 12

LEADERSHIP

At the beginning of this year, I was rocking my brain studying and preparing for a Leadership program I was calling "City of Truth" which I was creating from scratch for a group of young adults in the Bronx. Most of them attended the same church I did. Two of them didn't even attend a local church. Interestingly enough, this was not a church class, this was a Leadership class. My desire was to assist these 17 to 24 year olds in their transition from teenagehood into adulthood.

God was gracious and surrounded me with three adult friends who joined me in this endeavor. Big shout-out to Tasha, Terri & Damaris for their trust in me and all their hard work. Many times they had no clue what I was doing. Sometimes they even questioned whether they should be working with me. :)

But with a whole lotta faith, and a shear desire to please God with what He placed in my heart, I creted a curriculum and begun our first class on April 4th.

Classes continued basically once every three weeks. In the beginning I stayed pretty close to the curriculum. As time passed and the group of six to twelve young adults grew closer to each other, the curriculum began to change and grow. It was amazing.

I'm not going to make this post long, but I will say over the past eleven classes, teaching these young adults has blessed me tremendously. I really feel I have grown as man and a leader. Teaching about leadership brought leadership out of me.

So as I approach this last class this weekend, I pray City of Truth accomplished its goal of training and equipping young adults to be world leaders. A part of me is slightly melancholic at this point. COT has truly been a labor of love. Working with this group has changed my life.

I'm not sure when the next set of COT classes will begin. However I am sure that when God allows, the next group will be just as amazing as this one was.

Genesis is definitely "Golden" in this portrait. I was going for a very specific texture on this one.

Ana the Bride

WEDDING

Ana was the first bride I officially photographed under the Joseph Dominick Photography banner.

I love her pose here as she gets ready in her Brooklyn home. In the midst of the pouring rain outside and constant phone calls to her cell phone, Ana was quite peaceful.

This is one of Ana's favorite portraits so I had to showcase it.

The NYC Collective

PHOTOGRAPHY

During this summer I became a part of the NYC Collective, a branch of the Puerto Rican Photographic Society, which is dedicated to photography and highlighting the work of Puerto Rican photographers. This year my work has been included in two of their exhibitions.

Recently Clarisel Gonzalez, also from the NYC Collective, curated a gallery of our work on Flickr. Click portraits and enjoy some of my work as well as work from other members of the Collective.
