This is a followup post from my prior post about Chris & Kim’s wedding.

I just wanted to take a quick moment to highlight something that I thought was just so insanely awesome that happened at the wedding. Chris is a songwriter, producer and super talented musician. He is also the frontman for the Chicago band Escape From Earth - which if you have not heard, drop what you are doing right now and check out their website and even check out their albums on iTunes!

Chris wrote and recorded the song to be used for his and Kim’s first dance at the wedding. The song was/is awesome and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house when all of this took place.

I created a smaller slideshow of the wedding day set to Chris’ song. Do take a quick moment to check it out!

Chris & Kim have an interesting story. They’ve been dating for 16ish years and finally tied the knot! Kim is one of my wife’s very good friends and I was honored to be asked to document their wedding day. Aside from my wife standing up in the wedding and giving me all of her creative input (cough, cough, instructions all day :) ) the day could have not gone better. (Just kidding honey!).

I’m going to follow up this post with another one specifically about Chris - very cool story line there.

Anyway, the ceremony was held at Willow Creek Community Church in Barrington, IL. The reception was held at the Holiday Inn in Rosemont which has a very cool Penthouse style banquet hall.

Chris & Kim are a very special couple and I wish them the very best in the years to come!

Take a look at some of my favorite shots from the day as well as a slideshow…
