Audrey & Nick  July 30th, 2011

Audrey getting ready detailsAudrey getting readyAudrey and I first meet about 3 years ago when she responded to a bogus job posting (long story, don’t get me started).  In spite of the fact that the posting was totally made up we got together for coffee one afternoon and went on to work together for a good year and a half or so.  So when, over coffee, she told me that they were moving and getting married …. on MAUI I pretty much jumped at the mere thought of it.  Now I’d like to point out that she’s shot for a number of other photographers, so she had other options but she picked ME!  And I felt so honored on many levels.

Exchange of rings and lighting of unity candleThe ceremony was lovely and fun.  It’s not often I’m this lucky enough to get this kind of available light in a church. So many sweet moments it was hard to pick.

Grandparents 60th wedding anniversary danceNick’s grandparents were also celebrating their SIXTIETH wedding anniversary.  That’s not something you get to share in everyday.

Crowd dancing!One of the things Audrey and I always talked a lot about is how wedding DJ’s seem to only have 1 play list: At last, We are family, Brick house….just to name a few.  So with that in mind they spent a lot of time looking for and interviewing DJ’s.  Their guy kicked ass!  At one point I put my camera down and started dancing.
