Jennifer & Chris Got Married!!!

Last weekend, Josh and I got to photograph probably most fun wedding we have ever been to. From the beginning when we showed up and the bride asked for a margarita until the minute we left when the guests were singing loudly along to Benny and The Jetts, we had a rocking good time. That is all owed to the amazing Jennifer and Chris. When we met with them for their final consultation they mentioned to us that they just wanted to get hitched and have a terrific time with their friends and family. They definitely got hitched and they definitely had a good time with their friends and family. 

Five Things We Learned:

1. Jennifer had the most gorgeous dress I have ever seen (Melissa Sweet Dora).

2. Chris was such a goofball in a totally fun and happy kind of way.

3. All of Chris's groomsmen had nicknames including Chris. Here I go....Turtle, The Fonz, Owens, and Deuce (or two pence). 

4. Cake fights can get seriously brutal....

5. Receptions should always have a groom and groomsmen serenading the Bride. 

On to the photos:

Jennifer was one gorgeous bride:




She had amazing tastes. Check out her amazing dress and shoes:





This is hilarious. I wanted Jennifer to pose for a photo which involved her looking outside her limo window as she reflected on her wedding day.

Here's the shot:




Chris got all jealous (in a total just kidding kind of way) and decided that he also wanted the same pose. Here's his version lol:



I hope you noticed the Bud Light at the bottom of the frame heehee.

Before we went to the ceremony location we decided to stop at the Vegas sign for some quick potraits....



Now here's the thing, as we pulled up to the Vegas sign in the limo, a couple of men were filming what looked like a news report in front of the sign. They were from ESPN filming a special news report in Vegas. They were going to give away three fishing trips to Guatemala to random strangers, the only catch was they had to leave the next day. They ended up offering one of the trips to Jennifer and Chris!!! They couldn't take it because Chris didn't have his passport with him, but they ended up filming us shooting the portraits of the two of them and the bridal party. I just had to take a photo of the ESPN guys for proof!



After the Vegas sign, we headed straight to Lakeside Weddings in Summerlin. The location was beautiful and even though they told Jennifer she wasn't allowed outside photographers, they ended up letting us photograph the ceremony as well as some quick portraits of just the bride and groom. 






Then we were off to the New York New York, where they had a sit down dinner at Nine Fine Irishmen (the food was delish!), and an after party at the Piano bar where they had dueling pianos! One of the piano players was sweet enough to allow Jennifer on his piano while Chris and his groomsmen serenaded her to the song from Top Gun!! It was so much fun.




Their cake was so awesome and from Freeds! (my personal favorite). They ended up getting in the ultimate cake fight. Josh got some great shots and they're in the slideshow.




And of course a shot of the grand serenade:



I'm so sorry this took so long for me to post, but I spent a long time on the slideshow for this one. I wanted it to be fun, spunky, and perfect, which I think I accomplished. I hope you enjoy it!







Thank you Jennifer and Chris for letting us come along on your ride!!! We had such a blast.
