This Chico wedding was all sorts of special to us. The groom, Chris, was one of Joe’s best friends in high school. Their rich and compelling history of teenage shenanigans would have been enough to make this wedding pretty special, but Chris and Marcie’s wedding was something more than that.
Chris and Marcie earned a permanent residency in the special place in our hearts when they went waaaaaay out of their way to help Joe to propose to Marianne exactly 3 years and 1 day ago. To this day, Joe calls Chris’ mother “Mom Hester” and that really says it all. This wedding felt like photographing a family member’s wedding. If they love their photos even half as much as we adore them, we will be pretty happy with life. :)
