Chelle and Louis get married (Yay!) [part 1]

Go 'Chelle, Go Louis (imagine a bad 90's rap song, and that's the effect I'm going for).
(woof woof? Arsenio!)

Michelle is one of my first true Atlanta-an (Atlantan looks weird to me) friends. We used to work in this tiny hole in the wall in between the offices and next to the elevator shaft at Georgia-Pacific. Our entire gang (Shout-outs to Chunger, Chadwick, T, Leslie (!)) had a large collection of music, and it was easily the substance that binded us and gave us more than enough matter to digest. Also, it helped we were the biggest nerds we knew.

Little by little we parted from Georgia-Pacific, and the ties of friendship still hold between the lot of us. Even after Michelle moved to New York, which through her job as a computer consultant she met the ever awesome Louis. Louis has always been cool every moment I met him, and his personality strikes harmonious chords with mine own. This was solidified upon visiting their apartment which has just about everything I could classify as stuff I'd own or have owned. I told 'Chelle that even if she wasn't marrying Louis, I could still be his buddy. Thankfully it's a combination of the two. Here's to them both.

They asked if I would like to photograph their "Rehearsal Dinner" @ Johns Pizzeria in NYC. Of course I can't say no to doing something I was going to do anyway, so I lovingly obliged. They're a great pair and I'm so happy for them. This first part is the rehearsal dinner. I'll post pictures from the actual wedding day, but I toned down my shooting because I didn't want to impose on the official photog's abilities. The fun part was that they had essentially the same equipment base so we got to talk shop a few times. I'm a nerd.


'Chelle and Louis hammin it up. They're allowed.


Miss Em. The Maid of Honor, and another Atlanta ex-patriot. Five bucks says she misses me already.


Tanya, the bridesmaid, and her husband and all around cool guy, Jason.
