			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I had the pleasure of shooting Tom and Aprils Wedding a few weeks ago at the <a href="http://www.herecomestheguide.com/location/detail/piedmont-community-hall">Piedmont Park/Community Hall</a>.  They live just off the park, so this place feels very much like home to them, and is also the spot where Tom proposed to April!  It was a fitting and a beautiful spot for a wedding, it&#8217;s starting to feel like home to me too after also shooting their <a href="http://brunkblog.com/2008/09/02/april-tom-engaged/">engagement session there</a> a while back.  Special thanks to my awesome assistant for the day, <a href="http://www.davidbornfriend.com/">David Bornfriend</a>, a talented up and coming editorial photographer.<br />
On to the images!</p>
<p>April&#8217;s dress was simply one of the most stunning I&#8217;ve seen.  Really beautiful detail:<br />
<a href="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-01.jpg"><img src="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-01.jpg" alt="" title="tom_april-01" width="517" height="750" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1024" /></a></p>
<p>A little fun with the shoes:<br />
<a href="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-02.jpg"><img src="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-02.jpg" alt="" title="tom_april-02" width="750" height="517" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1025" /></a></p>
<p>April on the left, and one of Tom&#8217;s sisters on the right.  I liked the &#8220;mirror image&#8221; feeling of this one:</p>
<p><a href="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-03.jpg"><img src="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-03.jpg" alt="" title="tom_april-03" width="750" height="517" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1024" /></a></p>
<p>Tom very lovingly got both of his boys ready for the big day.  I loved the quiet, intimate feel of this image:</p>
<p><a href="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-04.jpg"><img src="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-04.jpg" alt="" title="tom_april-04" width="750" height="517" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1024" /></a></p>
<p>Another quiet moment contemplating at the bottom of the stairs.  Not all the moments involving the boys were this quiet though! <img src='http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><a href="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-05.jpg"><img src="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-05.jpg" alt="" title="tom_april-05" width="517" height="750" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1024" /></a></p>
<p>We set up a &#8220;first sight&#8221; for Tom and April, an intimate moment just between the two of them where they can see eachother for the first time on their wedding day.  I loved Tom&#8217;s reaction:</p>
<p><a href="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-06.jpg"><img src="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-06.jpg" alt="" title="tom_april-06" width="750" height="517" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1024" /></a></p>
<p>Fun with a bright beam of sunlight filtering through the trees:</p>
<p><a href="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-07.jpg"><img src="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-07.jpg" alt="" title="tom_april-07" width="517" height="750" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1024" /></a></p>
<p>A few of my favorite portraits from the day:</p>
<p><a href="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-08.jpg"><img src="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-08.jpg" alt="" title="tom_april-08" width="750" height="517" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1024" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-09.jpg"><img src="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-09.jpg" alt="" title="tom_april-09" width="517" height="750" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1024" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-10.jpg"><img src="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-10.jpg" alt="" title="tom_april-10" width="517" height="750" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1024" /></a></p>
<p>The traditions and ceremony were mostly Western in nature, but there were some gorgeous Eastern outfits worn by Tom&#8217;s family and friends.  The colors and detail are amazing!</p>
<p><a href="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-11.jpg"><img src="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-11.jpg" alt="" title="tom_april-11" width="750" height="517" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1024" /></a></p>
<p>We couldn&#8217;t have asked for a nicer day:</p>
<p><a href="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-12.jpg"><img src="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-12.jpg" alt="" title="tom_april-12" width="750" height="517" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1024" /></a></p>
<p>I like these next couple of moments during the ceremony:</p>
<p><a href="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-13.jpg"><img src="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-13.jpg" alt="" title="tom_april-13" width="750" height="517" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1024" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-14.jpg"><img src="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-14.jpg" alt="" title="tom_april-14" width="750" height="517" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1024" /></a></p>
<p>Flowers by <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/flowers-by-myrna-oakland">Flowers by Myrna</a> in Piedmont:</p>
<p><a href="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-15.jpg"><img src="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-15.jpg" alt="" title="tom_april-15" width="517" height="750" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1024" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-16.jpg"><img src="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-16.jpg" alt="" title="tom_april-16" width="517" height="750" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1024" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-17.jpg"><img src="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-17.jpg" alt="" title="tom_april-17" width="517" height="750" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1024" /></a></p>
<p>I loved the antique detail in April&#8217;s ring, and this is one of my favorite ringshots to date!:</p>
<p><a href="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-18.jpg"><img src="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-18.jpg" alt="" title="tom_april-18" width="750" height="517" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1024" /></a></p>
<p>Something about the kids and the beams of sunlight filtering through the trees really works for me in this one:</p>
<p><a href="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-19.jpg"><img src="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-19.jpg" alt="" title="tom_april-19" width="750" height="517" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1024" /></a></p>
<p>They had a bunch of yummy little cakes instead of one big one, and the main one they were cutting into had some pyrotechnics for a little extra drama:</p>
<p><a href="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-20.jpg"><img src="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-20.jpg" alt="" title="tom_april-20" width="517" height="750" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1024" /></a></p>
<p>Good times with Tom and his Dad:</p>
<p><a href="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-21.jpg"><img src="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-21.jpg" alt="" title="tom_april-21" width="750" height="517" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1024" /></a></p>
<p>First Dance:</p>
<p><a href="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-22.jpg"><img src="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-22.jpg" alt="" title="tom_april-22" width="517" height="750" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1024" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-23.jpg"><img src="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-23.jpg" alt="" title="tom_april-23" width="517" height="750" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1024" /></a></p>
<p>Dance floor fun:</p>
<p><a href="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-24.jpg"><img src="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-24.jpg" alt="" title="tom_april-24" width="750" height="517" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1024" /></a></p>
<p>Tom&#8217;s Mom is awesome, she was out there having a great time dancing with the kids, and she even stopped me at one point to wipe down my head with her sari, when she saw I was sweating shooting on the dancefloor.</p>
<p><a href="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-25.jpg"><img src="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-25.jpg" alt="" title="tom_april-25" width="750" height="517" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1024" /></a></p>
<p>I just thought this was funny.  He just couldn&#8217;t resist himself: <img src='http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
<a href="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-26.jpg"><img src="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-26.jpg" alt="" title="tom_april-26" width="517" height="750" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1024" /></a></p>
<p>He gets all the ladies.  I like the western/eastern dresses too:</p>
<p><a href="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-27.jpg"><img src="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tom_april-27.jpg" alt="" title="tom_april-27" width="517" height="750" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1024" /></a></p>
<p>Congratulations you two!  Thanks for sharing your day with me!</p>
