kendra + wes * mr. + mrs.

kendra + wes tied the knot in kendra’s parents’ backyard – decorated with bright colors, beautiful flowers, and a candy table!  huge, dark clouds were hanging over the house all day, but let some sun shine through during the ceremony and kept us dry until we were safe under the reception tents!

kendra was a very...

Nicole Campbell - GOSH how beautiful was that wedding?? I really enjoyed the sunlit pictures..where it looked like the sun was just pouring in (pictures 20 & 22) and also 26 was one of my favorites..looked like it was from a classic movie. :)Great job! AS USUAL.

cooking with chris * hummus

hey barb, this one is for you.
what i am doing with this video is testing the video editing capabilities of the new version of fotomagico… verdict.  any photographer’s must have.
oh.  in response to me triple dipping, I was to only eating that batch to there, and it made it more fun to watch.  consider it...

Amanda Donaho - Oh Chris, that was awesome :) I really needed a good laugh tonight…. I especially loved the “clean up so your wife doesn’t kill you” and the excessive amount of ice you got out of your ice maker which poured on the floor. That was sweet :) Oh, and the “it’s easy to clean! Insert hand, lick out hummus!” :) Classic!

May 28, 2009 - 8:22 pm

jenny costantino - Hi Chris,
i just looked at every single picture on your site. you are AMAZING. congrats on going full time with this.
let’s get some coffee or a drink sometime…catch up.
take care,
Jenny

May 28, 2009 - 8:23 pm

jenny costantino - OH – and i watched the hummus infomercial, too. funny as ever, are ye.

May 29, 2009 - 5:51 am

Barbara Hawkins - I think you should do a series of cooking instruction videos for guys but first we need to show you how to use a SPOON!.

May 29, 2009 - 8:18 am

Nicole Campbell - I have a few things to address here…you like..triple dipped your finger in the hummus while it was in the food processor..remind me never to eat at y’alls house if you’re cooking. haha. You have awesome singing talent, maybe you can sing at my wedding while we cut the cake. :P And this statement “turn on the oven light so we can see your goodness” was ridiculously awesome. Awesome video…I hate hummus but more so from a bad experience on a nature trip..in a conoe..and a dead boar..I’ll save that for another time.

I nominate you and Allie for the coolest ppl on the entire planet award.

May 31, 2009 - 6:26 pm

Maya Laurent - Chris, you are too funny!!! I’m a little grossed out by you eating it with your fingers…you left out the washing your hands part! :)

heather + michael * married

wow.  i’ve got to be honest, i don’t think i expected to have this much fun on the trip.  the farley-butcher crew was awesome.  we stayed out late every night and danced…  yeah i said danced.  if i can find some video of me shaking it, i’ll post it in the slideshow blog post of...

Phyllis Helton - Great job, Chris! The bride was beautiful and you captured some great moments for them. I’m sure they are thrilled that you were the photographer they chose, especially after they see their pictures.

May 28, 2009 - 5:57 am

Nicole Campbell - These are wonderful! Y’all should have your own tv show on the travel channel or..something where they follow you on different destination weddings and see the awesome personalities you have and then show your pictures at the end of the event. Seriously. I am not playin. Do it! Y’all are so great at what y’all do.

May 28, 2009 - 7:17 am

laurel - Thank you so much for everything, I know Heather and Michael are going to love these pictures.

May 28, 2009 - 10:25 am

Kryss Roch - These are so amazing! Have I told you a million times how happy I am that you were there? We miss you already. Bring Allie on the 1 year cruise and we will tear down the house . . . or boat, I guess.

May 28, 2009 - 11:23 am

Misty P - Wow, how fun & beautiful! That certainly is a compliment to hear what the bride told you.

I like scooby snacks too :)

Anita Farley - You are astonishing! What a great talent you have. Like it or not your are now an important part of the Farley Extended Family. Just ask Richard what that’s all about. Thank you for going so very, very far beyond anything that we ever expected. Can’t wait for the 4th of July Party. I need to meet Allie!

June 1, 2009 - 2:13 am

captain’s log * 2

hey folks,

a special blog from chris * out at sea

howdy folks.
 
can you believe i’m blogging from the ocean?  the ship is great, but the weather has been terrible.  seriously, it hasn’t stopped raining since we got on the boat.  so, i’m sad to say no cool outdoor sunrise/sunset shots.
 
yesterday we left cape canaveral at 4:30pm and headed out to the private island owned...

May 20, 2009 - 10:44 am

Nicole Campbell - Actually he totally wore that to our engagement shoot too! hahaha. I think it’s just cause they are so busy with all the work they’ve been getting he hasn’t had a chance to change! :)

this engagement session was so sweet to us.  nicole was the first model we ever shot, and now we get to shoot her wedding!  we knew she was a beautiful person – inside and out – but she might have some competition now that we’ve met dustin, leia, and seth!

seth is 4 years old… and...
