I was a second shooter for Kelly and Chris’ wedding with Lauri Carbone of Lalee Photography. You can see more photos of their beautiful wedding, which was held at Loews Hotel, on her blog.

It was fun to get to hang out with the guys before the ceremony. Guys tend to have a much more relaxed getting ready routine than the girls, to say the least. Outside of a little shirt drama, these guys were no exception.

Here are a few of my favorites from the day.

Kelly and Chris decided to do a wonderful thing and see each other before the ceremony. When you have a night wedding, in winter, seeing each other before the ceremony is ALWAYS the best idea for photos.

Lucky second flash catching the kiss. This was the end of a six minute ceremony, which might be some sort of record.

I love, love, love this moment. The groom’s grandparents spent the entire night on the dance floor. They can party with the best of them. Here they are encouraging Chris and Kelly to join them. So sweet.

I think my favorite thing about Chris and Kelly, is the history that they and all of their friends share. I don’t think it would have been possible to spend the night with them and not feel it. They went to the same high school along with a large group that they are still friends with…and boy do they know how to have a good time. :-)
