Michelle + Chris

Yep, they're finally done. And I love them. It's true. This salon had the best decor and lighting I've ever seen. I was quite enamored.

Michelle is a friend I met through our art classes together. We instantly hit it off and became quick friends and, later, college roomies. While she lives in Chicago now, I still adore her just as much as I did the day I met her. She's gorgeous, amazing, and hard working. Some days I wish I could have even half of her work ethic! :D Needless to say, I love the girl, and when she asked if I would be her DOC and photograph the girls at the salon, how could I say no?! The answer is, I couldn't. So, on to the pics! :)


Dunkin' Donuts and a big ol' Box o' Joe! How else can you get a morning started?


Maybe it's just me, but I love having my make-up done. They always do it way better than I could ever pretend to. And this girl was a magician!




Margaret is hilarious, obvs. She had extensions to die for. The hairdressers were drooling. So what's a wedding day 'do without a box of bobby pins?




Momma of the bride. She's gorgeous!


Details details. :) Did I mention I loved this salon? It was like a page out of an Ikea catalogue in a GREAT way.






Too gorgeous, right? The hairstylists had a grip on what it takes to make great curls last. It worked!


I already posted a teaser with one of the other little mannequins holding jewelry. They were just gorgeous. I almost spent a lot of money. :)


My dear Michelle is basically always on high stress, so it was great to see her relax! She deserved it and had a great day!


They had a great time decorating the salon before the girls had arrived. Confetti, streamers, and balloons - OH MY!


Another of my college roommates (I had 3 at the same time!), Ali, lookin' smokin' hot!


Here comes the bride!






And the favorite shot of all. Hands down. It's money...

*sigh*

Congratulations, Chris and Michelle! I'm so glad I got to be a part of this day. It was, hands down, the best wedding I had ever been able to attend. I wish you both the best that life has to offer, because you totally deserve it. Love you, both!
