Skater Groom

Right after their ceremony, the bride and groom walked with photographer Samantha June of Arius Photography up this road in the small mountain town of Purling, New York. The groom—an avid skateboarder—was carrying a “Just Married” skateboard he crafted himself, outfitted with cans tied to the back. “I asked him if he was actually going to ride that thing,” June recalls, “and before I knew what was happening, he threw it down and jumped on. I had two seconds to lift my camera before he sailed past me.”

The final frame goes to show just how ready you should be for the mini spontaneous moments at a wedding, June explains. “When you let your clients be themselves, you have to always be ready for those in-between moments. That’s usually where the good stuff happens.”
