Here I am again with some more action from this past weekend! Saturday was Michelle and Nathan's wedding day. There is a little back story to this one. You see, I used to work with Michelle way back in the day, at least ten years ago (give or take a few years). We worked at this joint called 'Congo Bongo', one of those kids fun centres where they have games, ball pits, climbing walls, and host birthday parties. When I think back about that place, it sure was a disgusting smelly dust pit. It sure was a sweet job though! I operated the bungee trampoline (yep they trusted 17 year olds with that high risk job) and was eventually upgraded to "party planner". Michelle was a cashier and party planner. Anyways, the company went under (not suprising) and was converted into a church (not suprising), and we all went our separate ways. Last year I shot Robin and Shaun's wedding and Michelle and Nathan were guests. This is how I came to shoot their wedding on Saturday!
Michelle and Nathan are two cool dudes. Their family is awesome as well, and were very welcoming into their home. We arrived early which gave me plenty of time to get some detail shots before michelle had her hair done.
The flowers for this wedding were provided by the amazing Kimberly at Best Buds Flowers. Now listen all you brides getting married next year, you have to stop in to her shop in Oliver Square (104 ave and 117 st) and see what she can do for your wedding. Her flowers are amazing, and the photos below prove it.
Have a look at a few of my favorite photos from Michelle and Nathan's wedding day. Remember, you can click an image to see a larger version.
An amazing arrangement!
I love this shot I took peeking through the railing on the second floor.
Her shoes. Always have to get a photo of the shoes. Details are my favorite photos to take.
The girl in the middle, her name is Sam, and she worked at Congo Bongo with us back in the day. I remember her being very mischievous!
This photo is just awesome! Later on in the evening she actually had to teach everyone how to do the macarena.
I usually cringe, sigh, and pout when I have to do a fountain photo. People always want photos in front of fountains no matter how ugly they usually are, and the majority of fountains out there are ugly! Especially that water pit thing with the torch in it at the Legislative Ground. Eww. Anyways, this fountain was beautiful, and the light was tasty!
Finally, a photo with Nathan in it! If I have to make the decision between the pretty background, or the nice light, i'll always choose the nice light. You can barely tell that's a garage in the background, but the light sure is great isn't it?
One of my most favorite photos ever.
The bouquets were a work of art.
Michelle, busted!
(disclaimer: their might actually be no alcohol in the flask, but just water instead. Also, the photo might actually be a setup and not portraying the actual events correctly.)
(disclaimer for the disclaimer: the photo above was completely set up , and Michelle is a good actor. Michelle is not an alcoholic.)
