amanda + chris = the wedding slideshow

hello again,

just finished up the slideshow from amanda + chris's wedding last night. what can i say, these 2 were so easy to photograph, they are so comfortable in front of the camera. we had the best weather possible for pictures, lots of dark thunder clouds. i know most of you brides are nervous about rain showers on the wedding day, but sometimes ugly weather makes for more dramatic lighting.

the wedding and reception were held at the St. Patrick's Church in Fallowfield, a great place to have a wedding and reception and there are many shooting locations just around the town.

thanks amanda + chris for choosing me to be your photographer, i hope you enjoy these images forever. hope you guys are having a great time in NYC!! relax and enjoy it because works starts on monday, sorry amanda(teacher) i had to point that out.

enjoy the show!!
