When one of my best friends asked me to take pictures at his wedding, I was equally honored and nervous. Luckily Tim and Haifa are two of the calmest and happiest people I know. It was clear when I started shooting that this was going to be a great day full of laughs. That kind of atmosphere creates the best photos every time.

I was working with my friend and fellow wedding photographer from Chicago, Mr. Thomas Slack. I’ll link to his website when he puts up his photos. There will be more to come from this beautiful wedding. Enjoy part 1:

The dashing groom.


I hung out with the guys before the ceremony while Thomas photographed the ladies. Plenty of time for a quick game of pool.


And a Shandy!


No nerves here.


This is taken immediately after the ceremony. Can you read the look in their eyes?


So much laughter. Tim and Haifa are a wonderfully natural couple.


This picture gives me goosebumps. My favorite of the day.


Love.


Thank you, Tim and Haifa. I am fortunate to call you my friends.
