Each time I meet with potential clients, I try to impress upon them how important it is for them to feel comfortable hanging out with their wedding photographers, well, us. On the most special day of your life, you definitely do not want to spend your wedding day with people you're not completely at ease with. Aileen and Louis are a great example of a perfect fit with Adm and me. We felt like we were spending time with friends and you can see from the photos that everyone was able to be their natural selves, which always makes for the best moments.

When Aileen's mom first found out about Louis (these two started dating in college), she initially thought her daughter was going to run off and elope. Well, that didn't happen, and here these two are, almost ten years later. Instead, her mom got to put her mother's pearls on Aileen's wrist just before watching them get married at Corpus Christi Church by the same priest who married her to Aileen's father a generation earlier. There were so many sweet touches to this wedding - even the suitcase that was on display to receive postcards for the newlyweds was a part of Aileen's family history as it was the same case her grandfather used when he emigrated from Ireland to the United States.

And, there were many contributions from Louis' side as well. For starters, Louis was in charge of the music, and he picked a killer bluegrass band to play for their cocktail hour followed by a funk, soul and rock 'n roll nine-piece party band for the reception. I mean, you can't really go wrong when you hire a band called "the Floorshakers," can you? Oh, and while Aileen may have been planning her wedding since she was a little girl, there's no way she could have ever planned for Louis' father's incredible rendition of "What a Wonderful World."

Okay, I could go on and on, but I think that I have gushed enough. Onwards to pictures...
