Katie and Brian's Wedding

We had the privilege to photograph Katie and Brian's wedding a couple weeks ago. What fun! They are just great people and the rest of their family is so nice. It was really cold so we were indoors for the most part. The ceremony was right here in Dublin, at St. Brigid, which is always nice. That church seems to have been built to make weddings go smoothly.After the ceremony we all had a little fun with pictures.Then we went off to where the reception was -- just a couple hours early for some more pictures -- outside ones this time. Now, remember, the temperature was about 5 degrees (-15C) and with the windchill factor, it felt like -8 (-22C). So we went outside with the guys and made them stay in place while the girls ran out to their assigned positions for a few photos. Yes, they were cold, but real good sports.They even did another picture -- this time with the guys' jackets on.Then we went to the mall. Hey, why not? We had gone over there the week before and asked management if that was OK because of the temperatures outside. They let us. We were flabbergasted -- definitely not the norm for any mall management. Just as long as we didn't get any stores' signs in the images. There was this cool staircase and railing at one end that was perfect for the pictures. They even raised some gates that were down there. They let mall security know about us and they were so nice. He came over while we were there to see if there was anything else he could help with.Brian's mom worked at one of the stores in the mall so we had to get a shot in there -- of course we asked. At first she looked at me really strangely, then, when I told her who Brian's mom was she was cool with it.After hanging out at Caribou Coffee (we warned them the day before) it was time for the reception. That was a lot of fun, too, but I'll let you watch the slideshow to see how that went. There was this one guest, though, who looked kind of strange -- very hairy -- but who am I to judge their friends?Now, watch the slideshow, and then leave a comment below. I'll make sure Brian and Katie see them.

Hey Adam,

I love these. Especially the 1st on the balcony. I the one of the bride and groom sliding down the rail looks like it was a lot of fun, as well as the freezing bride & bridesmais.

So I'm not engaged yet but the plan is within the year, apparently! I'm naturally very excited and am looking at everything! I was so excited to stumble across your photography! It's beautiful and I will have my wedding at St. Brigid AND I want my reception at the Jessing Center where this couple had theirs! I feel like it's a sign or something! I will DEFINITELY be in touch :)
