Wedding / Photographed by Chelsea Gray & Neel Mehra / Chicago, Il. / Saturday, August 7th 2010
August 7th 2010 was a stellar day, I must admit... Not only did I get to visit the most beautiful and inspiring historical house I've ever seen (Frank Lloyd Wright's first house and studio!), but I got to share in the joy of an old friend, Erin (and her hilarious groom Mike). As a major Etsy fan, Erin went all out with the details of the decor and truly brightened up the gorgeous Valley Lo Club with yellow treasures. The hardest part for Neel and I was leaving the party around 1am so we could actually sleep before our flight home. Everyone was still up, eating sliders and drinking beers in the hotel lobby (even as we left at 3am!). Wish we could've stayed longer guys...love ya!

Wedding / Photographed by Chelsea Gray & Roberto Ugarte / Grand Isle, Vermont / Saturday, July 31st 2010
When Laurie and Josh approached me about their country wedding in Vermont, I couldn't help but get excited because it had all the makings of a crazy adventure: Camp-like accommodations, fresh country air, wholesome food and family fun, and Laurie's mother promised me that most likely by 2am, everyone would be jumping into the water...well sign me up, already!
Rob and I had a great time hanging out around the beautiful Grand Isle Lake House, as the guests ran around in their bathrobes, and got ready for the big day. I must admit, there couldn't have been a more mellow wedding than this one...my favourite kind:)

Wedding / Photographed by Chelsea Gray / Cayo Guilllermo, Cuba / Monday, April 13 2009
When I was asked to shoot Erin and Jean-Simon's wedding in Cayo Guillermo, an extraordinary tourist destination in Cuba's Sabana Camagüey archipelago, there was no hesitation!
Prior to the wedding, I had done a little research about the area where we were staying and it mentioned that Cayo Coco was home to one of the most highly populated flamingo herds in the world (30,000+), so I asked around and managed to hire a private bird-watcher to take us on a tour the day of the wedding at 10am. All four of us (Jean-Simon,Erin, my boyfriend and myself) jumped into the car and headed out on our mission to capture the most original wedding photos ever! Our guide, Paulino, opened up the car doors and blasted flamingo calls so that they would approach us.... He also took us out to a completely desolate hut on a private, unspoiled beach, which turned into an impromptu musical jam with the two security guards! Jean-Simon grabbed the tamtams, one man brought out his guitar, Erin started dancing and when we told them it was their wedding day, they started playing the wedding song! I was so proud to watch Erin and JS dancing together to the Cuban up-tempo version of the "wedding song" in this little remote hut in the middle of nowhere... I can't express how unique that moment was, and it was just the beginning!
