Rachel + Todd - 3.15.08- Starlight Theatre

    |    Posted by Tyler Wirken on April 2nd, 2008    |    wedding life

So you have read my other post, hopefully, about my recent experience at the Foundation Workshop, and how wonderfully inspirational it was for all and for me. Well, it proved itself again.

Let me explain.

This workshop really gets me going for the season and more importantly keeps me going for the rest of the year. Every year I come back from this thing I am really jazzed to hit the ground running and seem to do things a little bit differently my first wedding after.

Rachel and Todd’s wedding was that wedding. These two are so great. Totally in love and totally loved by their families and friends. The moments were flowing till the bitter end. Here is a sneak preview for Rachel and Todd till they can see the rest.

It was such a great event. Kim Ho from You’re Invited wonderfully coordinated this event as she always does. I love working with the You’re Invited team. They are so laid back and fun everything seems to always go so well.

Here is the short list of vendors and venues-

Rachel and her dad have a wonderful relationship. So fun to watch all day. Here he is dropping her off at the church.

It was total chaos in that tiny room. Everyone wanted to help! I loved it.

They love to play pool and hang with their friends, so we headed to the bowling alley for a couple quick rounds.

So I had this idea to shoot the first dance from the rafters, I could not be there so my assistant Kate nailed it!

Very emotional time for some family members during the first dance.

This was so cool. They had caricature artist on hand to do drawings of the guest.

This was nuts. It was a dance they saw at a wedding in Mexico. Basically a mosh pit.

We ended the night with some pretty funny and emotional toasts by friends and family.

It’s so fun to watch you take the images, then see the outcome. The bowling alley worked perfectly! I’m seriously cracking up at the successful bathroom trip image. Thanks for an excellent job as usual.
