Kori & Mike

This is a combined post, personal and wedding related, therefore there are going to be a lot of pictures. You’ve been warned!

Two weekends ago Erin, Caitlin and I traveled to Rhode Island for Kori and Mike’s wedding while grandma looked after Ella. Kori and Mike are part of Erin’s Chicago crew so, although this was technically a work trip for me, it also gave us a chance to catch up with friends and it gave Erin a chance to get out and paaaarty!!

We started with a rehearsal dinner on Thursday night in Connecticut, followed by breakfast at the Mansfield General Store. One word….AWESOME!!

Friday afternoon we rehearsed at Kay Chapel in Newport and followed that with a sunset sail aboard the Aquidneck. A pretty crappy way to spend a day. Friday night was Erin’s night out with the girls while I looked after Cait, and secretly watched the clock!!

Saturday was the big event. Kori and Mike look perfect together. Judging by the speeches Mike has always been a happy guy however I have never seen somebody smile and laugh and high five quite as much as Mike did on his wedding day. Kori smiled a lot too, even when the limo didn’t show. Mike and Kori, you ROCK! And everybody else that put up with me and my cameras for 3 days, you rock too!

Thanks for having me, I know that you enjoyed your day and am sure that you are going to have a great life together.

Regards,

Simon

HOLY COW SIMON!!!! Are you kidding me?!! These ROCK!! You ROCK!! :)

Oh my gosh, I love every picture!! Seriously, I don’t even know what to say right now! It’s 5am and I’m suppose to be writing a quiz for my students, but of course I’ve been checking your blog anxiously awaiting pictures, and well, this is way more fun then writing a quiz!

Simon, I feel that I have pretty high expectations about a lot of things and when it comes to details about things that I care about I’m a perfectionist…and all I can say is that you exceeded my expectations a million times over (and these are just some of the pictures)! I really don’t know what to say except thank you!

It means so much to Mike and I that you were able to be a part of our wedding and having these pictures make us able to re-live the events of our wedding weekend. I’ve always loved photography; I love the emotion that can be captured in a single frame. And that is exactly what you did…you captured such joy and happiness, not only in Mike and I, but in everyone throughout the weekend! I can’t imagine the time it took to just get these pictures up and please know that I really appreciate it!

Thank you Simon, you really are amazing!!

Hi Kori,

I just left a message to let you know that the pics were up, but I guess you beat me to it!!

I am truly stoked that you like the shots. There are lots more so in case anybody feels like I missed them out you should make the final cut!! I just had another look at the shots that I chose and it looks like I have a KP(F?) and Chad crush.

Thanks again for including us in your weekend.

Later,

Si

WOW,
These photos are amazing! I have never seen two happier (and in love) people. Simon, you did an outstanding job capturing every detail. It is great to see the photos that took place between the ceremony and the reception. Can’t wait to see all the rest!

Simon,

I am speachless (and usually that’s not possilbe). Bravo to you and your works of art. I know you hear it a lot, about how wonderful and amazing your photos are, but I don’t know if you always realize the impact of your work. As a recent bride and one of your biggest fans, I always seem to get a bit emotional when I see your work and that is because you shoot with such care, artisty and love; that my friend, is priceless and special. So on behalf of Kori and Mike and myself and Joe, Thank You for capturing our special days. You are truly gifted and I’m blessed to have met you and your family.
