Gretchen and Chris
May 27th, 2009Reflection Bay - May 15, 2009
A Rockstar wedding. I mean… a Diet RockStar wedding. I knew within minutes of shooting Gretchen and Chris during their engagement session that I would be in for a fun day at the wedding and that I had better be up on my energy drinks… well, on the wedding day Chris brought me not one or two Diet RockStars but a whole case - all for myself… lets just say that I was wide awake for this high energy couple.
The very talented and highly impressive, Mr. Chris Montoya was a true artist when it came to the ladies hair and makeup for the day and it was Alden from DiBella Flowers that put together the beautiful arrangements
Gretchen, Chris and the girls were lookin’ hot in J. Crew - one of my fav choices for bridal party attire
A WTF cake deserves a WTF image. The cake arrived not with a subtle pastel green as requested but it was sporting a rather vidid “neon-shamrock” green with an air of ugliness about it. While I think someone at some bakery will be getting a color blindness test, Chris and Gretchen just rolled with it and told me that I could do anything with the cake that I wanted.. hmmm…. After a little thought and considering I didn’t have either compressed air nor a ceiling fan near I decided to simply create an image that made you think: “WTF?”
Gretchen and Chris, thanks for a fun day and for the Rockstars! .jmc.
