We love Dan and Kristi!!! You may remember them from their engagement session at Xavier University, which is where they met. Kristi found us over a year ago, and has since been such a huge fan and supporter of studio3z. She even sent Erica + Jacob to us, who we love too! 
Going to this wedding was like a reunion with all the same friends…and I LOVE when that happens.
The day started off with two nervous cookies. I would say Dan + Kristi tied on the nerves scale. 
Getting the beautiful dress on…
Dan’s looking GOOD!
Such a beautiful bride…
They were married at the church on Xavier’s campus. It was perfect.
LOVE this!
And we LOVE this bridal party!!! You all are wonderful.
We had a HOT day….like the kind we’ve waited 2 months for, and it decided to show up the week of their wedding.
The boys decided to take a break from photos and chill in the party bus for a few.
But the girls cooled off too.
When I took this I gasped. She looks like Eve, as in the “garden of Eden” Eve. BEAUTIFUL.
Work IT ladies!! WORK IT!
Kristi, you are stunning.
The boys ventured out, but they were still HOT. This photo makes me laugh.
Flipping LOVE this!
Have I mentioned we enjoy acting out musicals??
Then our favorite time….just the two loves.
Her dress was so rocking!
YOU TWO = precious.
This is so pretty LARGE. As in, may be a new canvas for studio3z.
After a dance in, Dan swooped up his wife entering the reception.
I loved that their tables cards had photos of the two of them at the age listed. They were adorable!
Wonderful prayers and toasts!
One of the many reasons I love Dan is that he ordered chicken fingers (the kid plate) at his wedding.
Another thing…these two took care of us like we were family. Sweet as could be, and we couldn’t appreciate it more. They kept telling us to grab a drink and we said, “Maybe later.” Dan just brought a beer up to Brett and put it in his hands.
As Kristi jumped in, guess who took this photo?
The groom, Danny boy.
**THE BEST FIRST DANCE WE HAVE EVER WITNESSED.**
Right before the reception, they clued us into a surprise….They had been working for weeks on a surprise dance that only the DJ knew about. It started off normal and beautiful….
And then it turned AMAZING!! They took clips of TONS of songs and danced away to each. People were in SHOCK!
After that, the PARTY got started!!!
The Xavier boys were hilarious!
Did I mention we love these guys?? ALL of them! Their friends, family, everybody.
They wrote us last week from Hawaii- while on their honeymoon!! They said, “We kept telling people how great it was to have friends do our wedding and not some random stiffs…” They sent us some “studio3z inspired” honeymoon shots, and it totally made mine and Brett’s night.
We feel so incredibly blessed to do what we do, and share days like these with such awesome people.
Kristi and Dan!! You two are just amazing people. So kind, big hearted, and I love seeing the compassion you have for one another. You fit together so perfectly.
We can’t thank you enough for the kindness you have shown us, and it was such an honor to be there on your wedding day and capture those moments for you.
We wish you two all the best, and many many happy years.
AND, we can’t wait until another friend in the group gets engaged to see you all again!!!
much love~
jess + brett
