This wedding is memorable to me in so many ways.

First of all, Kris and Jim's love story is truly inspiring. They have such a big beautiful family and they are all so much fun to shoot - I wish they'd adopt me! Kidding aside, I hope my photos are able to give you a glimpse of that special bond their family share. :)

This is also the first wedding that I second shot for Jennifer Colina Photography (you know what they say about first impressions). To say that I was out to impress is an understatement.

Also during this wedding did my 50mm 1.4's autofocus stop working same with the ETTL system of my flash/camera. And that's not all folks... one of my CF cards also got corrupted. gasp! Mercury freakin' retrograde at its best!

But despite of it all, I didn't disappoint. I pushed on, resorted to my backups, and worked through the whole thing like Tom Hanks' character in Castaway. Yes, I believe I may have talked to myself several times during the whole ordeal.

Hope y'all enjoy the photos. :)
