Brandie + Fred wedding {by liz}

Love, love, LOVE these two! One of the very best things about photographing people for a living is actually getting to know the people on the other side of the lens. I meet so many interesting people, but sometimes I am lucky enough to meet the sweetest and most fun ones around. I’m pretty sure that everyone who meets Brandie and Fred immediately wants to be their new best friend. Their love for each other and the people around them can be seen in their smiles and felt in their hugs from a mile away. And I am positive you will see it in the photos! I remember we met the first time at the end of a warm, long outdoor wedding day at the Muny in September, and I’m pretty sure I was a disheveled mess by then, but you two took a chance on me anyway. Special thank you to Simcha Lourie for bringing these two into my life!

Let’s start with the rings! I may have ring envy after seeing this one. I have a princess cut with a little hint of rose gold, but this is just gorgeous.

Smiles and laughs everywhere. All morning.

Brandie is a knockout without makeup, but Emily Miller still managed to work her usual magic.

The dress. Perfect on Brandie’s frame.

Perfection. Brandie you are lovely!

We had a little bit of a bike theme going. How awesome are Fred’s cufflinks?!

Looking good…time to go see your bride.

After the first look we headed out and about downtown to meet up with their sweet doggies for some family photo time.

One more stop with just the two of them before we head back to the Four Seasons.

Gorgeous (as always) floral design by Frankie at Festive Couture Floral!

Meet the party.

Nice Brandie. Very nice!

Pretty ballroom.

Here they come! So glad you guys went for it!

Piece of cake.

Hee! I had to put this one here. Brandie breaking it down and getting a little chuckle from Fred in the process.

Hora time!

Cutest little favors for the cooks out there.

And just a couple more to end the evening…
