Dru & Nicole’s Wedding!

Last month I had the great opportunity to shoot the wedding of Dru & Nicole- Back when we were kids, we used attend the same church camp together, and we eventually served together as well. It’s by the grace of God that we are both still working out our salvation and desiring to serve Him with our lives.

I also remembering sitting next to Dru when he was first talking to Nicole via cellphone as they started their relationship long distance. After a long engagement process, as well as a daily countdown on facebook, they were finally married!

We started the day at the Marriott Hotel O’Hare for Nicole’s hair and makeup-







For some reason…I really like this next shot-







When I capture moments like this…I am reminded just how much I love wedding photography-

After the ceremony we headed out to the Chicago Botanic Gardens to grab some portraits-









I love the attention Nicole paid to the little details-





I think this image is one of my all time favorite toasting pic


Thanks for an awesome time you guys! I hope these pictures always bring you back to where it all began!

by His grace,

Kenny
