The Wedding of Chrissey & Mike 9-13-08

As she waited for him to enter the room so that they could see each other for the very first time on this their wedding day, she hears his familiar laughter carry through the doorway as he says hi and jokes with the bridesmaids exiting the room. I smile, having spent some time with Mike and Chrissey during their E-session I noticed then how Mike can make Chrissey laugh and how smiles are so easily coaxed. She turns towards him and this broad and gentle smile spreads across his face as he is beaming. I'm shooting and listening and shooting and listening and I hear, "you are so beautiful...", spoken in such a way that I get goosebumps. What a wonderful start to a day that was filled with many moments of love, adoration and kindness. You both Rock! For lack of better words, you just do.


Stunning, Stunning, Stunning!













I love the way they just laugh and interact






The police came and chased the skaters away so for a few brief moments we had Love Park all to ourselves.











As nightfall rapidly descends upon us they turn towards city hall walking off hand in hand as the amber light of archways guides us back to the reception. The light tonight is unbelievable, the breeze welcoming and the couple, well, they are perfectly matched and I couldn't have asked or conjured a more lovely day. These are the times that if could be would be bottled and then re-opened and sipped from each and every weekend.
