We have known Chris for a long time. Working back at the Ogden, we saw him regularly as he would frequent for shows and to play his own – he was the front man for Blister 66, and was always quite festive. He met Jen a handful of years back and they got married on Valentine’s Day. The following summer, they had a big ceremony and reception, held at the Botanic Gardens. Of course, they asked us to photograph it, and imagine how heavy our hearts were to tell them we were already booked.
Fast-forward to this past January. We photographed Jen (aka Lola Black) at the Johnny Girl shoot at the Hotel Monaco. Chris tagged along and we got to talking about their wedding, and kids – you know, just general catching up. I about fell over when they told me (Jewels) that they ended up with NO wedding photos!! I was devastated for them! Even bad photos of your wedding day are better than none at all! I insisted that they let us do a Bridal Portrait session of them, in their style, with our style. It was a no-brainer as far as I was concerned. They of course said yes, and we planned it for summertime.
We were able to make the shoot happen a couple of weeks ago. These two are Rock-n-Roll all the way, and these photos show it!
