If not for the calling of journalism and photography, I had a dream to attend the University of Chicago School of Social Thought, which basically locks you in academia forever. So I was especially excited to shoot Victoria and Alex’s wedding on the gorgeous U of Chicago campus. They were both graduates, as well as most of the non-family guests, which always makes for a fun social scene. As for the tone of the wedding? Gorgeous, fun, and … delightfuly geeky. The best man brought a giant printout of this xkcd comic to the rehearsal dinner, after all, and compared the bride (as a girl vying for his best friend’s affections) to the brain-eating zombies in Zombieland.
Of course, I’m an online columnist. These are my people. And as you can see from the photos and slideshow, it was a fantastic group of people to spend the weekend with.
