irene + german wedding

it was raining and windy in chi-town last saturday but that didn't stop us from capturing wonderful moments at irene + german wedding. we did their engagement session a few weeks back, and you can catch it here. it was a beatiful and emotional ceremony (in spanish!) followed by a wild reception! These people know how to celebrate! ^_^

Irene's arriving in the rain.. that's a very, very long train ^_^

processional

did we mention it's a very looooong train? ^_^

yeah! finally a different dance floor!

we learn about chain dance, where the newlywed hold something over, in this case, Irene's long train, and the ladies, and later the men hold hands and dance across the room!

more dance! We're not sure what this called. german got an apron and broom, and yes, that's a leather belt on irene's hand.


we played with reflection a lot in this wedding!


city on a puddle ^_^


have fun in hawaii and see you soon!

marianne + bryan wedding

marianne + bryan booked us on the phone from NYC but we knew we are going to be perfect match for them! I went to NYC to shoot their engagement session, you can check it out here. From the moment we arrive, we were welcomed by the warm & fun families. It was truly a family affair, as Bryan's dad was the best man, and Marianne's sister was the maid of honor. Here's what we capture throughout the day!

marianne + bryan: superhero couple! ^_^

tired of waiting for the shuttle, bryan and his dad took a cab to get to the church on time for the ceremony
