Christin + Justin = MARRIED!

On 7/3, we photographed Christin & Justin’s FUN wedding & reception at Indian Creek Christian Church & Adaggio’s in Greenfield! We started out at Christin’s mom’s house for some of the getting ready photos…Marcy is an Area Manager for Arbonne so I got some product shots for her! Her whole dining room table was filled with beautiful make-up for all of the girls!! 🙂 Christin is so sweet & thoughtful…as I was going room to room shooting details and candids, I came across the card she gave her parents and a father of the Bride hat she gave her dad!!

Isn’t she gorgeous?! Loved the “bride” shirt she made…

Christin & Justin are big Red Sox fans so Marie Frey, her coordinator, made these garters for her!!

And we found out that Christin had bought her dad’s cool cufflinks!

Loved her flowers!

Christin & her maid of honor, Jenny!! Jenny & I went to high school together and reconnected at a bridal show last year when she went with Christin to the show! (Hi Jenny!!) 🙂

GORGEOUS!!!! Another bride who needs to model, don’t you agree?! 🙂

I asked the kids to kiss each other on the cheek (usually one of them will do it and the other will be shy about it) but these two both did it at the same time and ended up on the lips! LOL They’re so cute!!!

Our handsome groom, Justin…

They had a candle light ceremony, it was beautiful!

FAVORITE!!! I can totally see this as a panoramic spread in their album…maybe with some pics along the top? 🙂 Yes, I’m always shooting with the album in mind!

John’s view from the balcony…

Ever get the feeling you’re being watched?! LOL

Another fun wedding party!!

Now that I know Christin found out about this story, I’m probably ok to post it. 😉 About 30 minutes before we were supposed to start on the guys pics at the church, Diana and I were in the dressing room with Christin and my headset was acting up. (We’re all wired up with ear pieces and radios so that we can all be “in the know” even when we’re not all together in the same room) So, about the time I’m fussing with my ear piece, Diana was getting a message from John, who was setting up in the sanctuary & she had this look of panic on her face. She took me in the hallway to help with my ear piece and tell me what was going on because I had missed John’s message through the radio.

Apparently, the guys weren’t even at the church because they were at Circle Center mall downtown getting Christin a new wedding band because one of the groomsmen LOST THE RING!!!! (Not kidding) Of course, I was like “OMG!” but then remembered that we have fake wedding rings and bands in our wedding emergency kit…all in various sizes too, so no biggie, I had it covered. 😉 By then they had found a replacement ring though and now they were going to be late to the church…so we met with Marie (their awesome coordinator) in the hallway and she said that we all need to come up with a plausible story to tell Christin so that she wouldn’t panic because the guys weren’t going to be ready in time for pics. (See, this is why you hire true professionals who work together and don’t let you stress over anything on your big day!) 😉 Marie said she was going to tell the girls that the guys had a flat tire and were running late so we could start with the girls photos first.

Everything went off without a hitch from there on out and the guys made it in time for pics just as we were finishing up with the girls…isn’t that funny?! Apparently, this story made it on the air waves in Chicago last week and if Justin sends me the file, I’ll add it to this post…I’d LOVE to hear this from the guy’s perspective!! So yeah, here are the gorgeous rings they ended up with on the day of the wedding…. 🙂

They’re so adorable together…

A quick toast before the reception…

Amazing Cakes by Millie provided their cake and she did a great job!!

Loved the “bling” 🙂

Christin is a teacher so we thought this was appropriate 🙂

Can I just say that I LOVE working with video light?! Love it!!

At the end of the night, they surprised all of their guests with a fireworks show…it was awesome!!

My favorite part of the night…showing my clients their preview pics before they leave for their honeymoon!! 🙂 We always give them a folio of 8 sample pics they can take with them on their wedding night!

Thanks for a fun time you guys!! More pics coming soon! 🙂
