Closer to Sneakys, Chris and his groomsmen were getting ready in their own laid-back style. The atmosphere was relaxed but filled with anticipation. Photographs of Chris adjusting his tie or sharing a laugh with his groomsmen captured the camaraderie and the subtle nerves of the groom. An essential part of their morning was spending time with Chris’s beloved dogs, adding a personal and joyful touch to the preparations.
We ventured outside to a nearby park, where the natural light was perfect for some casual yet striking shots of the boys. The laughter and light-hearted jokes made for natural, candid photos that perfectly depicted Chris’s personality and his relationship with his closest friends. These moments, simple yet profound, are what make wedding photography so rewarding.
