Chris might just be one of the funniest guys I’ve ever met, and I’ve met quite a few funny cats in my day.  When he and his fiance, Katy, told me they wanted me to be their wedding photographer I was really excited to get the chance to shoot another old friend’s wedding.  Growing up I was extremely good friends with his younger brother, Harry.  In fact, I still am!  We used to hang out in their family’s basement on the weekends and stay up all night playing video games and listening to music.I had my friend Jimmy assist on this one.  Jimmy is one of Kate Connolly’s associate photographers and I very talented guy.  He has a total way with the group shots and was one heck of a snappy dresser.  We actually both showed up wearing the same thing!  Which confused the Brides family when we got to the door.  The Katy’s father tried to shoe us away when we got there.  I can’t blame him though.  It was Saturday Morning we were dressed alike and the two of us looked pious enough to be peddling our religious values door to door.  After a quick laugh about the misunderstanding and a little sweating, we were welcomed in with open arms.  Jimmy and i went to work.

Katy has a big family!  Everyone was really excited.  We finished up with some family shots at Katy’s then made our way to the church.  Chris’ folks were there, I said my hellos and how do you dos and we got set for a really great ceremony.

But let’s be honest, the real magic happens at the reception!  The DJ’s were a riot!  Chris and one of his friends danced the knife-fight scene out from Beat It!  The night it self was a lot of fun.  Katy looked wonderful!  Chris was hilarious.  It was great seeing my surrogate South Jersey family all together having a good time.  Here are some of the best shots from that night.
