Ohhh my goodness. This wedding. Joy and Collin’s Hallowedding. I’ve known Joy ever since we were wee kids on the playground at elementary school, and she was one of the first people who said to me, “Please shoot my wedding. I know I want you.” As her and Collin’s plans for their wedding began to take shape, the most amazing picture formed: A Halloween wedding. Costumes, Thriller dance, Marie Antoinette and King Louis. American and Chinese BBQ, tres leches cake. An epic costumed dance party. Oh yeah, they got down. Here are some of my favorites from Joy and Collin’s wedding day… it was really hard to narrow down all of the awesomeness, so this is just a slice of the beauty and fun.
