Brace yourselves for photo overload. When two friends of mine get married it’s nearly impossible to narrow down the selections. I did my best!

I’ve known Nicole and Jimmy for a few years now. In fact I believe it was my 30th birthday party when they made their first public appearance as a “couple.” So I was thrilled when they asked me to shoot their wedding! I knew it would be a blast and it did not disappoint!

I met the girls at Room 1520 while my second shooter, Brittany, met up with the guys at the hotel. As you can see by the photos they had slightly different getting ready moments. Guys with beer, girls with hairspray! It was a gorgeous fall day and we took advantage of the neighborhood and rooftop for some skyline photos before the ceremony. After their I do’s we snuck in a few sunset photos of the newlyweds during cocktail hour and it was back inside to party!

This dance floor was the most packed, crazy fun dance floor probably all year. It was non-stop action. And a lot of my friends were there so let’s just say there are a lot more dancing shots in this post than normal!

Thank you to the newlyweds for letting me capture your day!
