			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There were too many amazing photos taken at this wedding!  Yih-Chun has photographed a couple weddings himself, and I was honored that he would have me photograph his own special day!  With photography being a high priority, they scheduled more than a couple hours for wedding photos- and I made sure to take advantage of it!  I&#8217;ve only posted about 30 images here on the blog, you can see more at my <a href="http://www.facebook.com/kenny.nakai">facebook</a> page (feel free to &#8216;friend&#8217; me if you want to see the 50+ images posted there)</p>
<p><strong>Ceremony</strong>: <a href="http://www.tcbc.cc">Twin City Bible Church</a> (TCBC)<br />
806 W. Michigan St<br />
Urbana, IL 61801</p>
<p><strong>Reception</strong>: <a href="http://www.stayatthei.com">iHotel</a> &#038; Conference Center<br />
1900 South First Street<br />
Champaign, IL 61820</p>
<p>Yih-Chun &#038; Evelyn both attend the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign&#8230;also my alma mater (Go Illini!).  I also lived down there for four years after graduating, and I like to say that I know Champaign-Urbana pretty well.  BUT I really wanted something special for their wedding photos and I stumbled upon this awesome location-</p>
<p>Evelyn looked stunning in her wedding dress.<br />

<p><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.nakaiphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/EY-nakaiphotography-02.jpg" width="599" height="900" alt="" title="EY-nakaiphotography-02" /></p>
<p>He couldn&#8217;t stop smiling whenever he looked at her- </p>
<p><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.nakaiphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/EY-nakaiphotography-03.jpg" width="599" height="900" alt="" title="EY-nakaiphotography-03" /><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.nakaiphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/EY-nakaiphotography-04.jpg" width="900" height="599" alt="" title="EY-nakaiphotography-04" /><br />
<img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.nakaiphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/EY-nakaiphotography-05.jpg" width="900" height="599" alt="" title="EY-nakaiphotography-05" /></p>
<p>Being creative with the environment<br />
<img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.nakaiphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/EY-nakaiphotography-06.jpg" width="900" height="599" alt="" title="EY-nakaiphotography-06" /></p>
<p>I love this detail shot of her bouquet of lilies.<br />
<img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.nakaiphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/EY-nakaiphotography-07.jpg" width="599" height="900" alt="" title="EY-nakaiphotography-07" /></p>
<p>I love, love, love this photo of the two of them.  There was so much chemistry between the two of them, and I think this photo captures that connection-<br />
<img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.nakaiphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/EY-nakaiphotography-08.jpg" width="900" height="599" alt="" title="EY-nakaiphotography-08" /></p>
<p>We also spent some time in the Japanese garden and Japan house grabbing some photos.<br />
<img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.nakaiphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/EY-nakaiphotography-09.jpg" width="599" height="900" alt="" title="EY-nakaiphotography-09" /><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.nakaiphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/EY-nakaiphotography-10.jpg" width="599" height="900" alt="" title="EY-nakaiphotography-10" /><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.nakaiphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/EY-nakaiphotography-11.jpg" width="900" height="599" alt="" title="EY-nakaiphotography-11" /><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.nakaiphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/EY-nakaiphotography-12.jpg" width="900" height="599" alt="" title="EY-nakaiphotography-12" /></p>
<p>A park in Urbana&#8230;<br />
<img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.nakaiphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/EY-nakaiphotography-13.jpg" width="599" height="900" alt="" title="EY-nakaiphotography-13" /><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.nakaiphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/EY-nakaiphotography-15.jpg" width="900" height="599" alt="" title="EY-nakaiphotography-15" /><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.nakaiphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/EY-nakaiphotography-16.jpg" width="900" height="599" alt="" title="EY-nakaiphotography-16" /></p>
<p>I have spent so much time at TCBC through the years, I could literally walk through this place with my eyes closed.  =)  I was blessed to photograph a wedding here-<br />
<img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.nakaiphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/EY-nakaiphotography-17.jpg" width="900" height="599" alt="" title="EY-nakaiphotography-17" /><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.nakaiphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/EY-nakaiphotography-18.jpg" width="900" height="599" alt="" title="EY-nakaiphotography-18" /></p>
<p>I LOVE this moment right before the first kiss- it happened so fast, but we got it!  Look at her playful face!<br />
<img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.nakaiphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/EY-nakaiphotography-19.jpg" width="599" height="900" alt="" title="EY-nakaiphotography-19" /></p>
<p>The iHotel in Champaign, IL.  I love this venue, full of amazing architecture and art.  I also appreciated Evelyn&#8217;s choice on lighting.  Those purple lights really add so much to a venue.<br />
<img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.nakaiphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/EY-nakaiphotography-20.jpg" width="900" height="599" alt="" title="EY-nakaiphotography-20" /><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.nakaiphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/EY-nakaiphotography-21.jpg" width="900" height="599" alt="" title="EY-nakaiphotography-21" /></p>
<p>The wedding cake<br />
<img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.nakaiphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/EY-nakaiphotography-22.jpg" width="599" height="900" alt="" title="EY-nakaiphotography-22" /></p>
<p>Grabbed this photo of the handsome groom<br />
<img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.nakaiphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/EY-nakaiphotography-23.jpg" width="599" height="900" alt="" title="EY-nakaiphotography-23" /><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.nakaiphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/EY-nakaiphotography-24.jpg" width="900" height="599" alt="" title="EY-nakaiphotography-24" /><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.nakaiphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/EY-nakaiphotography-25.jpg" width="900" height="599" alt="" title="EY-nakaiphotography-25" /></p>
<p>Just look at all the expressions during this toast- makes me smile everytime<br />
<img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.nakaiphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/EY-nakaiphotography-26.jpg" width="900" height="599" alt="" title="EY-nakaiphotography-26" /><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.nakaiphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/EY-nakaiphotography-27.jpg" width="900" height="599" alt="" title="EY-nakaiphotography-27" /><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.nakaiphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/EY-nakaiphotography-28.jpg" width="900" height="599" alt="" title="EY-nakaiphotography-28" /><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.nakaiphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/EY-nakaiphotography-29.jpg" width="900" height="599" alt="" title="EY-nakaiphotography-29" /></p>
<p>We had to grab some more photos at the iHotel before I left-<br />
<img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" src="http://www.nakaiphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/EY-nakaiphotography-30.jpg" width="599" height="900" alt="" title="EY-nakaiphotography-30" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s always fun to photograph couples you know.  I&#8217;ve known Kana for about 10 years now.  She&#8217;s almost like a sister in some ways.  Needless to say, I was thrilled when I found out she with someone.</p>
<p>After spending some time in the States, Yuki has been in Tokyo working in the business sector.  So while their wedding is a long ways away, they wanted to get their eSession done when he came in town to visit.  </p>
<p>We headed out to the<a href="www.uchicago.edu/"> University of Chicago</a>, Hyde Park&#8230;near where President Obama&#8217;s house resides.  The architecture is really unique for Chicago.</p>
