happy friday everyone!!
in honor of this beeeautiful day…we share an equally beeeautiful wedding.

it’s friday night the night before the wedding. mindy and i walk up to the bonfire on the beach where the wedding party is partying. we’re not shy. but we’ve never met the bride and groom and pretty much had no idea who we’re looking for. just two names, chris and jessica.

“hello,” says mindy. “we’re the photographers for the wedding. we’re looking for the bride and groom ”
“that’s me!” says chris.

the chatting immediately begins and we rested easy. we were practically friends with them before we even knew who they were!!

the wedding was at bay harbor inn. and if you’ve been there, you have a glimpse into why we were excited to shoot this wedding. feels like another world. a stinkin’ beeautiful one! and the reception was at bay harbor’s golf course. it was our first time shooting there (i hear they actually just started hosting receptions and weddings in the last year)…let’s just say i hope it wasn’t our last!!

we also decided to shoot most of our pictures right on the grounds. partly because we didn’t really have the time to venture into the city. and partly because there was just so much good stuff to shoot on the grounds. but if you know us at all, you know that we love to bring in a little grunge, color, texture and urban decay. definitely no decay there.

but lo and behold…right down the street…was this AMAZING little building that was just about to be torn down. poor thing! so we just HAD to get some pictures there. [drool].

chris. jessica. posting this blog brought back so many great memories. when are we going to see you again???? in the meantime, here’s a few of our faves…
