Big Day: Kris and Michael

Kris and Michael are awesome.  I mean, they ran a 5K together on the morning of thier wedding (see: Salmon Chase)!  Their wedding was so completely planned and well thought out.  Every detail reflected their personalities; it was completely perfect!  I loved all of the colorful Mexican accents and the DIY touches to every part of the ceremony and reception.  And, seriously, the YELLOW TANDEM BIKE (!?!)... awesome.  Kris and Michael, I loved photographing your wedding (and race) day.  You two are so fun together and it's obvious how much you love each other.  Congratulations!

Salmon Chase 2011

Yesterday was the 14th Annual Key Bank Salmon Chase and my second year volunteering as the photographer for the event.  The Salmon Chase is a really fun 5k/10k race that takes the participants around South Bend to raise money for the Kelly Cares Foundation.  One of my favorite things about this race is how happy everyone looks when they're running it!  As I'm taking photos, everyone seems to have a smile on their face.  There were some familiar faces running the race too, including Paqui Kelly (wife of Notre Dame Football Coach, Brian Kelly) and mayoral race candidate, Pete Buttigieg.  Congratulations to all the race participants! :-)
