chicago- day 2 (part 2)

April 23, 2009

so as i mentioned earlier we had lost our bags :(  it was such a pain!  you don’t realize how hard it is to get by without the stuff that you use everyday.  and buying it all new is expensive.  so right before heading to the wedding we thought “what the heck” and stopped by our hotel one more time for a quick check, and lo and behold our bags were there!  it was like christmas morning.  we had about 10 minutes to change our clothes, straighten hair, fix makeup and i tell you what, i felt like a million bucks! and off to the wedding we went!

tammy and mikes ceremony and reception were a blast and not to mention beautiful!!!  as you will see there are all kinds of surprises and funny things happening throughout their wedding.  it was so awesome and i am so fortunate that i get to work with the most awesome people, day in and day out!  i love what i do!

during the toasts, mikes brother said “i think there is someone you forgot to invite”  they opened the doors and out busted the kool-aid man.  it was absolutely hilarious!  i love tammy and mikes reactions!  and seriously how many people get the priveledge of having the kool aid man drop by their wedding?!?koolaid-man

  thank you so much tammy and mike, for letting me and chris be a part of your special day!  you guys are the best!

Erin: So cute. What a beautiful wedding. It looks like you had a great time.

Sherry Ward: Every single one of these are AMAZING! The lighting is perfect! I'm going to look at them again... Oh, and LOVE the Kool-Aid Man!!!

ohana photographers - david: gorgeous couple!! love the cool aid guy!!!

JP Photography: The dress shot is stunning. Pure creaminess in the fabric. And, the emotion caught on the bride's face during the ceremony... priceless!

Jenna Julianne: WOW love the expressions!!! Super job guys!!!!!

i know, i know.  i am a complete blog slacker. but i have had an insane couple of weeks.  shoots almost everyday, a bridal fair, and you know the story.  the good news is that i do have A LOT to blog.  and am finally getting the time to do it. 

being a photographer there is nothing better then when a bride gives you free reign over their locations.  i have a million good places and just need people to shoot at them.  so whitney said she trusted me to find somewhere cool and did i ever!  i am so excited about these engagements and finally being able to show them off on my blog.  i have whitney’s bridals tonight (please don’t rain) and her wedding is next month, so you will be seeing lots more of these two!  me and brock had a blast and i am LOVING having an assistant!
