Christine Chang Photography

I spent the latter half of last week in Chicago with friends.  We were there because our good friends tied the knot there.  My husband and I had a great time seeing everyone get together again.  A majority of the groomsmen (and the groom) were also groomsmen at my own wedding, so it was lots of fun seeing my husband hang out with high school friends.  As I did not know my husband in high school, it is always fun listening to them talk about “back in the day”.  In a way, that gets my imagination running thinking and reconstructing my version of who I think my husband was “back in the day”.  

But on to the wedding.  The bride and groom were at their best and everything came together so well.  Everyone was all smiles and it was so easy to capture the moment as there were many and few dull moments in between.  The bride was stunning, and she wore that dress with such ease, especially when she was dancing.  Visually I saw two families join together in elation, knowing that this was a purposeful and joyful union.

As a person simply taking pictures and leaving the main responsibility up to the hired photographer, I wined, dined, and took pictures for the fun of it.  I also loved giving the camera a break and dancing with my husband.  What a memorable moment it was to see my husband jerk (we both learned this dance from our youth group kids) and seeing the kids do the Soldier Boy Dance.  If you don’t know what I’m talking about you need to do some internet research.

I was trained as a writer so I can write forever, but I’ll let the rest of the story be told in pictures.
