All I can say about this one is no one was injured in the garment modification… and Stacey is a good friend!

First look! Here she comes!

Amy, the maid of honor. No shortage of pretty bridesmaids for this one!

Nic coming up a little short for the tickets to the game.

Practicing their poker faces for the rest of the night.

I took a very similar shot of these two during their engagement session. It was nice to see it come full circle.

This is actually the spot Nic proposed to Lauren, the Lurie Garden in Millennium Park.

Now that’s how you keep a straight face.

Micki, make a hair moustache!

Never before have I come across a little girl who liked lip gloss quite as much. And such a steady hand!

Micki’s transformation into super bride is nearly complete!

Finishing touches!

Guys get ready too, and just as elegantly!

Hard Rock Hotel in case anyone is wondering about the random guitar.

The stained glass windows at the church were amazing!

The anxious moments before the ceremony.

Mark gets his bouttenier pinned on. I loved the colors of the flowers!

A closer detail of the bouttenier.

The other weekend I got the opportunity to help out John Andrews photograph Karla and Mark’s wedding. I covered the often overlooked “boys getting ready” phase of the event. The guys get ready so fast you have to really be there on top of it or you can miss the action entirely! These guys had a great time just hanging out before heading over to the church for the ceremony.

So cute!

A sweet good night indeed!
