I photographed Chris and Stacey’s wedding this past weekend at Chandler Hill Winery and there were so many great things about the event. You’ll have to wait a bit for my full report, but there’s something I just couldn’t wait to share. Check out this story:
Chris and Stacey moved from Seattle to New York so Chris could go to med school. New York is quite different than Seattle and I’m sure moving all the way across the country was nothing short of daunting, but something made moving to New York a little easier.
They met at orientation their first year in school and became BFF’s almost immediately. Jon and Heidi, and Leila and Ryan, along with Stacey and Chris had all come from the west coast all the way across the country to the Big Apple in search of getting medical degrees, and while the accomplished their goals, they found friendships that are quite indescribable. All throughout the day and into the evening, these bff’s had more fun together than I’ve ever seen anyone have. Watching them cry together and dance to together and laugh together was epic. It was like their relationships had transcended friendship and moved right into being more like family. I loved watching them all together and it made me so thankful for the friends that I can share life with. Friendship is such a blessing.
So, Stacey and Chris are the furthest thing away from pretentious than anyone could possible be. They didn’t plan to have their wedding party give speeches at their dinner, but their wedding party had other plans
. About halfway into their toast, I knew it was going to be something worth putting on video, so I switched my camera over to video and captured this. Watch and laugh.
