The wedding itself took place in Valerie's family church, in Homewood
IL. It was a fairly small wedding, but that's suited everybody
involved... As previously noted, I got to light some candles during the
event, and still get some good shots of the actual event. Afterwards, I
got a bunch of shots of people going through the receiving line, because
it's just the kind of thing that I do.

Wedding Proper, II That's a good smile on Val's face.
|
Escorting Out Valerie and Matas head back out of the chapel.
|
Greeting Line I don't remember anymore whether or not I just cheated...
|
The Couple It's very difficult to get a shot of the two of them without at least one blinking, looking away, or whatever.

|
The Funks On the other hand, getting these three to do the same thing is comparitively simple.
|
Laura Walker She came late, but she did come, and it was good to see her for the first time in a while.
|
Matas and Best Man I need to get a hold of that program!
|
Valerie While she normally has a big smile like that, this was far bigger than usual.
|

|
|
|
Ring Bearer Awwwww....
|
Flower Girl She couldn't make it through the wedding, so her mother had to actually do the flower stuff; but she was all up for having her picture taken!
|
Stephan and Angie Fairly recently married themselves, these two were the ushers.
|
Getting Ready to Sign I always try to get some shots of the actual document signing too...

Anand Another member of our fine group.
|
Bwang and Anand Once one of us sees a camera, we all come running.
|
Bwang, Anand, and Eva Well, at least when nothing else is going on.
|
Eva I don't even know what her pose is supposed to be. Oh well.
|

|
|
|
Jenny, Anand, and Eva Best college friends sometimes stay friends forever. Isn't it nice?
|
Keiko An old friend of Valerie's. I think they met in Japan.
|
Tim and Jenny I wish I could see Jenny more often... though it's going to drop down quite a bit from our already infrequent schedule when she moves to South Africa.
|
Eva Again We all look pretty good when we're dressed up.
