KATIE + CHRIS // WEDDING

Katie and Chris… oh where do I start? Katie is one of the most genuine, kind-hearted people I’ve ever known and she has found a perfect match in her new husband Chris.

My friendship with Katie goes way back… Back to my Corporate America days with Pfizer. We were actually coworkers on the same team and I can remember the day she brought her new boyfriend Chris to one of the team dinners. Apparently, they met on MySpace :-0 and my first thought was, “How is this gonna work?”. Nearly three years later, not only has it “worked” but it has grown into something more beautiful than I could have ever imagined.

Their wedding was truly special to me because of Katie’s faith in my talent. When I made the decision to pursue photography full-time she was one of the first people to support my fledgling business — no questions asked. Katie & Chris, I can’t thank you enough for your support from day one and I hope my pictures capture the beautiful people you both are on the inside and out. Enjoy.

**Special thanks to Dan Rakofsky for stepping in as Second Shooter.**

    Thanks for everything Elton! You are a truly unique individual with tremendous talents! I am sure that you will have the pleasure of photoshoping me again in the future…Perhaps during the pictures of our first born? All the best to you and your businesses!

    Love the wedding party playing volleyball! One question; “Did Chris smooch with Bud before or after he kissed the bride”?? Looking forward to seeing the rest of the photos Elton, great work!

    Elton, your blog is an inspiration to me. I stop by almost once a week when I need that extra push. Keep up the great work!

    First of all this bride, Katie, is absolutely STUNNING! You captured this so eloquently Elt. I love the cool, kind of grayish tones of the sky and environment that are splattered with the vivid hues of blue in the flowers, dresses, and especially bride’s eyes. Masterful! Keep going Elt!
