Indialantic Wedding – Stephanie and Chris

I met Stephanie at a Chipolte Grill a ways back and we yapped and ate lunch together. It was a great conversation and one that just clicked and I knew I wanted to be her wedding photographer. When I finally met Chris at the engagement shoot, the three of us had so much fun walking around in the freezing cold that we settled down to a cup of coffee afterwards to just talk some more. Hardly much about photography; just more about how they met and all the stories in between. They really are an awesome couple that have something special. You can see it in the way they look at each other.

The one thing that Stephanie “warned” me about with her wedding was that she had a huge family and she was going to want photos with everyone after the ceremony. I was prepared for such a shoot and happy to obliged all the different set ups. I mean, come on, how many times in your life do you get to have this many family members together at once? When they started to line up for the “big” shot of the entire family, I was shocked. It was easily 40 people strong. After I got everyone lined up correctly, I took a bunch of shots just in case. Later on that same shock was experienced when I took a photo of all the place cards together and saw that a huge majority had her last name on them! The whole expereince reminded me how honored I am to be a wedding photographer and shoot events like this.

The wedding was beatiful. The ceremony was at the amazing Holy Name of Jesus Catholic Church and the reception was across the road at the Beachfront Hilton. Don Soledad and members of his band played during the cocktail hour, first dance and dinner and the group over at Sophisticated Gents took care of the tunes the rest of the evening. My favorite part of the evening was easily when all the guys sung “You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling” – Righteous Brothers. The moment pulled straight out of Top Gun. Stephanie was surprised and the guys were great.

Anyway, I have rambled enough…. here are some of my favorites:
