Andrea & Chris 6-5-10



"Andrea & Chris"

As the wedding day approached, Andrea and myself were obsessively watching the daily forecast.  Having the chance of thunderstorms every day, as well as the wedding day, we could only cross our fingers and hope for the best.  Andrea and Chris' wedding was taking place entirely outdoors, on the farm where Andrea grew up, and they had everything figured out in the chance that rain would come.  Did we luck out!  With perfect temperatures, and amazing cloud formations, outdoor photos could only turn out amazing.  

This was my first outdoor wedding to photograph, and it was wonderful.  As I showed up in the morning to find the Bride-to-be putting hot pink decorations on the fence posts... every time I turned around, there were more beautiful details to shoot.  I really don't think they left out a thing.  It was truly, a perfect day.

Enjoy :)

I begin with a kiss,  in the backyard...

Talk about a great photo opportunity, right away as I arrived.


Here are a few of the details...

And more....


It took some time to get all 6 bridesmaids ready...






As the girls were finishing up, I had a chance to sneak off to the golf course and catch the Groom and 5 of his Groomsmen, on the 9th green... yes.

Andrea loved this one.





I Love the feeling in this shot. 

And this shot....  how beautiful.

Chris snuck in to finish getting ready

The Rings...

Their "first look" was so much fun!  The entire wedding party was behind me watching.  How fun.

I think Andrea's smile was bigger than she was :) 




She made my job easy... have you seen a happier Bride?

And more details... all taken in the building where food and drink were being served.
This shot is cute.  Someone from town was talking to them, and congratulating them...


Two precious little Flower Girls...

A classic shot of the girls...

And then a cute one...

Look at all those boys.  Groom, six Groomsmen, and four Ushers

Fun shot.


This shot turned out so nice.  Credit to the Mother-of-the-Bride :)



It's shots like these that remind me why I love my job so much.




I thought this one was pretty neat...




Happy Mr. & Mrs.

I had to share this shot of the evening, after the downpour had stopped...

First Dance...

First fast dance with the wedding party!

"Love Shack"!

Here are some really fun 'bridal bouquet toss' shots!!
  

I end now with a sweet moment on the school steps where Andrea & Chris met, and fell in love...

And of course, that amazing sky...
Thanks for trucking through the wet field for this one you guys!!  
Congratulations!
