Lots of couples ask us to stay and hang with them when the big day is done, but it was genuinely hard to pack up and leave with Chelsea begging us to stay, and that sums up both Chelsea and Dan: they’re the kind of people that make friends everywhere they go. I knew from the first booking call Chelsea and I were kindred spirits, and spending a lot of pre-wedding time with both her and Dan really solidified that bond, as I photographed their engagement session and their rehearsal dinner cruise. We had a blast with their whole crew—I even got to shuttle Dan and the groomsmen around which was quite possibly the funniest drive of my life. I wish we could do it all again every year, Chelsea!
