When Laura and Brad's engagement session last year led to a few drinks together at the local dive bar afterwards, I knew I had some awesome new friends.  So genuine and down to earth and FUN!  I can see why they have such an amazing circle of friends and family.   Needless to say, I was beyond excited when their wedding day finally arrived.  After getting ready at the Sir Francis Drake hotel near Union Square, we headed out for their ceremony at the Saints Peter and Paul Church in North Beach, the same church Laura's grandparents and other family had been married in.  Following some photos in Washington Square Park, we headed towards their reception venue across the street for a night of epic dancing, celebration, and even a few lap dances at the Italian Athletic Club (Italians sure know how to party!).  First though, we made a pit stop for a  quick drink at Original Joe's restaurant on the corner.  It just seemed like the right thing to do.  They got a standing ovation from a room full of strangers as they walked in...even the bartender rang the bell in salute.  An awesome thing it was.  The photo of them kissing at the bar a couple minutes later is definitely one of my favorite  moments and shots of this year.  Laura and Brad will forever be two of my favorite people.  Here are a few of the many memorable moments from their amazing wedding day...
