There is so much to say about this wedding but I think this just about sums it up 🙂 At around 9 pm a huge rain storm hit. Naturally I asked Pat and Nicole if I could photograph them in the rain. Everyone warned me off. Friends, family, even some of the event staff–they all said “Don’t do this Luke!”….Nicole, on the other hand, looked at me with steely eyes and said “Let’s go for it!”….as it turns out we made some fun images that put a wonderful exclamation mark on a great day. So enjoy…count the genuine smiles in this bog post. I dare ya!
