Michelle & Chris are a fun, energetic couple with a combined family of great kids who were also in the wedding party, alongside a few other close friends & family members. It was obvious that they love each other and the family very much, which makes for a fun day together! Michelle and Chris got ready at their home, and then we moved on to St. Raymonds Maronite Cathedral for the ceremony, and next door to the Heritage Center for the reception.

A little help from Mom
A first look by their pool 



We took cover at the Muny from a rain shower, and then headed out for a few fun photos when the rain let up a bit!

Stunning bouquets by the inimitable Tony Montano of Buds Floral and Event Design (side note: Tony is also magical and can make red wine appear out of thin air! LOL)










There was  lot of hopping in and out of umbrellas as the rain started and stopped, and also some champagne drinking LOL 





I love this photo. Someone *might* have just burped right in the other person’s face right before it was taken, not naming any names LOL









I love a cute wax seal on almost anything 





This must be one yummy cake!












PLAY GLORIA! (and they did, because this was during all the Stanley Cup fun!)

Thank you Michelle & Chris for letting me capture your wedding day ❤️, with love, kate
