...convenience of the photographer and his client, many of the posed photographs are now taken long before or long after the event. "The formal of the bride," James Purcell of Bachrach Studios remarks, "is taken two weeks before the wedding with fake flowers. They photograph just as well." But the difference is visible; the formal portraits of more recent date are stiffer, more defensive. What Herbert Talerman calls the "gorgeous innocence of those early people," the proud hauteur of the bride who felt herself being immortalized by the camera, gives way to a nervous reserve as the formal portrait comes...
...Many of the photographers whose pictures are contained in Wedding seem to recognize the dichotomy of "portrait vs. candid," and define themselves and their work in those terms. "I don't want to put down candids, but we portraitists have our eyes on something--a moment of grandeur," Bradford Bachrach says. "Candids are for the moment but portraits are for all time."

...production is still in its infancy, so tonight there is no real rehearsal, only a singthrough with Fuller and David Bachrach, a baritone. The director, Kathy Gratto, sits and talks with whichever singer isn't working with Krag. Krag stops Fuller periodically, marking points of emphasis, interjecting at a particular phrase, "Dance it," and indicating with her hands and body how she wants the melody to move. For the next few weeks she will be teaching the singers their music and trying to improve their diction. Most of the humor of a Gilbert and Sullivan play depends on being able...
With an extraordinarily beautiful and rich tone, particularly in the low range, Francis Hester convincingly conveyed the anguish and resignation of Jesus. He generated a palpable emotional intensity in an understated, wonderfully sensitive performance. David Bachrach was an accurate and effective Pontius Pilate...
