The Sunday of Memorial Weekend was a perfect day for an outdoor wedding — and Kelli & Tim were lucky enough to have theirs on this day in the Loose Park’s Rose garden!  I met up with the girls in the hotel suite where they were getting ready, and you could feel the energy and excitement in the room.  When Kelli was walking down the aisle, Tim was all smiles as he watched his bride.  After a sweet ceremony ,we drove around town for some fun images with the wedding party.  These two put their complete trust in me to find some fun spots, and I have lots of favorites!  Kelli is a girl who knows her details, and they could be seen throughout the wedding and at the reception (Arts Incubator).  It was an amazing day for sure…

Enjoy their slideshow here!

When it rains, it pours…and that is just what happened on the day of  Sarah and Brian‘s wedding day.
Yet despite the weather — and the fact that it was to be an outdoor ceremony — these two were incredible.  Sarah’s smile never faded, and Brian was more than ready to see his bride.  Their First Moment was truly special, and one of my favorite images I have from one of those!  It is a pure and true moment, and I love that.  We were able to utilize the inside-area of the barn at Fresh Air Farm, while wonderful people like Brian and April held umbrellas over my cameras for me.  I could not have created these images without you two — thank you from the bottom of my heart!

We are planning to go back out there with these two, so we can use all of the gorgeous property of Fresh Air Farms, so stay tuned later in the month for those.  In the meantime, enjoy the Slideshow of their Day here!

As her bridesmaids were fastening her dress together, there was a loud POP as something snapped (which was later fixed by the wonderful Betsy!) and this was Sarah’s reaction…priceless!

If there was any doubt regarding the amount of rain…

Betsy gave a heartfelt toast — I cannot wait to photograph her wedding in New Jersey this Fall!
(forgive me for posting this picture Betsy, it’s just too sweet!)

When we had so much fun during their Engagement Session, I knew the wedding day was going to be spectacular.  The weather was perfect outside, which is a rare thing for the Midwest!  Adrienne and Derrick shared a special First Moment, and then we were off for location images with the wedding party.  The sense of happiness was felt everywhere, and when images were completed these two could not have been more ready to be joined as husband and wife.  It was a wonderful day, that ended with plenty of celebration at the reception!

I hope you are both having a WONDERFUL time in Jamaica — and enjoy your slideshow here!

Derrick put together a little video for Adrienne to watch while she was getting ready.  It was on a laptop, and it was full of her family and friends sending her well-wishes!

Love this little series of Derrick’s reaction to his lovely bride…

And can you say…CAKE!

Jennifer and Keith were married on a Winter February Day, and they incorporated wonderful Korean elements to really make their wedding special!  I loved how relaxed these two were, and they trusted me to find locations around their church to capture all of the images  beforehand…including a sweet First Moment.  It was cold — very cold — but Jennifer knew that the cold was temporary and the images are forever!  I cannot wait for you all to see the images, especially from the tea ceremony.  The colors were out-of-this-world stunning…

Enjoy their Slideshow here, set to their first dance song!

Jennifer…you are beautiful inside and out!

My first wedding of 2010 — started off with a fantastic couple, Lia and Nate!

The day started at Lia’s parent’s home where the girls were getting hair/make-up done, and helping Lia get to the church.  After the ceremony, Lia was ready for everything that I had in mind.  “I know the dress will be getting dirty, and it is worth it for the images!” — a dream-bride right?!  We managed to walk around a few places, and kept that dress in really good shape after all.

The weather was COLD, and when I say they toughed it out that would not tell you enough.  I brought along leg-warmers for the girls to put on under their dresses, and some  boots for Lia to wear so we would not ruin her ballroom shoes in the snow.  Did I mention she scaled a fence in her dress for me to get to a spot with great light?  INCREDIBLE!  Nate & Lia are just so wonderful and sweet to one another, it was great to capture that kind of love.  Enjoy the SLIDESHOW HERE, and lots of favorites below!

Look at Grandma dancing away to “YMCA”!  This is a favorite shot from the reception…

There is one image in the slideshow, that is old-style Glamour-inspired.  The post-processing is totally different than usual, but I love the look and feel — Lia really pulled it off with the look…you will know which one it is!
