Wedding :: Marta & Chris :: A friend gets married

Posted in Weddings

I generally try to keep my picture posts under 30 per wedding. (it makes the site load faster)

BUT this one couldn’t be contained. I already scrapped as many shots as possible to ensure the blog doesn’t load like an old dial-up connection website:)

People have asked me time and time again. “Isn’t it weird, or hard to shoot a friends wedding?” And my answer is always a resounding “NO”. Granted I met Marta for the first time when they decided to look for wedding photographers. Chris and myself met while working night shifts at a computer company that shall remain nameless:)(inside joke) Since then we’ve become great friends, and I’m not just saying that. We even spent a week together in the Dominican when their friends and best man/maid of honor Kristie and Matt got married this past May in Punta Cana. The fact that we were all together for a week and they didn’t end up drowning me, just goes to show that they’re true friends:)

So come their wedding day and what happens? Nothing….Everyone by that time has known me for some time, and it is a great bunch of people that I’m more than happy to call friends. It’s easy to relax when you have inside jokes, and frequently quote favorite TV shows with the guys (mainly Family Guy and Simpsons)

Marta and Chris said that they would like me to stick around after i’m finished shooting and join in on the fun. I obliged:)There are even some pictures of me break dancing floating around Facebook:)

An awesome day, with an equally awesome couple.

Congrats you guys:)))

Hope you like them

Dan.

Who says closets are not a good spot for dress pictures???

Well I’ll say it once and I’ll say it again… No matter how many times I see your work I continued to get blown away! (Even though in this case I have a biased opinion :D )

You’ve outdone yourself once again and we couldn’t be happier with the end results! Thank you so much for helping us make this day what it was, and of course for the break dancing :D

Marta and Chris have been great friends of mine for almost 10 years now! To see them get married was just amazing but to see how you captured it all I can’t put into words. You are truly talented Dan but with such gorgeous subjects how could you really take a bad picture. Looking forward to next year when you photograph one of my other best friends wedding! Maybe you can break out some more moves!

These are amazing!! You have no idea how much I love them! We will treasure the moments that you captured forever. Thank you for this, thank you for your advice and friendship, all the help that you gave us along the way and for not getting too annoyed with me when I had my little Marta moments. We love you and are so proud to be one of your couples! I would have changed my date a million times (not just twice) for these beautiful pictures! Love M.
