I first met Karen over a cup of coffee and as we chatted about the details of her upcoming wedding I thought...hmm she seems really laid back.  But brides are tricky!  They pretend like they are laid back and then the day of the wedding arrives and BAM...stress sets in.  I mean really, who can blame them?  Weddings are s.t.r.e.s.s.f.u.l.

So when I arrived at her Mom's house and found a totally chilled out Karen looking GORGEOUS after hair and makeup I let the waves of calm roll over me.  This small wedding was so much fun to photograph.  I'll stop blabbing and jump into the images...

Lets talk for a second about Karen's simply and chic gown.  LOVE this dress.

holy HOTNESS.  Nothing more awesome than a bride that KNOWS she looks good...

Meanwhile...at the church...

Here's Chris and the guys hanging out before the ceremony

I have a "don't ask don't tell" policy about what goes on the night before a wedding so I'll let the Red Bulls do the talking...

FAVORITE.

MARRIED!!!!!

I love these guys.  They are the quintessential "ying and yang" couple.  Karen is the serious to Chris's goofy and vice versa.

WHERE BROOKLYN AT!? 

At first I was all "get outta the way brah!!" but I actually kind of love this shot 

Karen and Chris, congrats!!!!  Many years of happiness ahead of you guys...I can tell :-)
