The Studio in the Street

by Andrew Hida and Drew Jordan

Brothers David and Salvador Suriano are neither your common wedding photographers nor ordinary New York street vendors. For over 29 years, they have made their living photographing newly-married brides and grooms outside the Queens Borough Hall in Kew Gardens, New York. With the courthouse as their backdrop, the Suriano brothers’ street wedding business not only captures a special day in a couple’s life but continues a family tradition, three generations in the making.
