Whew, Kelli has only been harassing me for this since about Sunday after her wedding I did make her wait and thanks to some other events, this wasn’t up as early as I had hoped. I’m sure she’s been refreshing the page non-stop all day. Right? Hi Kelli!
Brandon and Kelli’s wedding was a lot of fun! I got to work with Cynthia for makeup which is one of my favorite things (that and putting her in slideshows and albums) and also got to see Shannon and Matt! Remember, they were the very FIRST couple to book me for their wedding, so they’ll always hold a special place in my life and we’re totally going to set up our husbands on a man-date. But back to this whole thing, Brandon is a ham. End of story, which made for some hilarious wedding photos, but we also got some very lovely ones as well. We started the day off at Cantigny and then moved onto the Abbington! I love them all! I really do! So enough talking about their wedding and onto the photos!
Oh Matt and Erika’s wedding was fun to say the least! With 2 of my other clients in the wedding party, we had a blast!! There were ups, there were downs but in the end everyone had a blast! Matt and Erika were champs the entire day! During the ceremony, one of their groomsman passed out and had to be taken to the ER to make sure he didn’t have a concussion. Thankfully, there were a few medical professionals at the wedding to help and make sure he was fine while the ambulance arrived! He returned for the reception at the Abbington though and he was fine! I had so much fun at their wedding and I know they’re really really really exited to see these pictures!! I’m sure they didn’t want to work today anyway…
Soledad and Kurt are getting married at the end of the month, which means that their wedding fast approaching! I’m very excited to capture their wedding day but we also squeezed in their engagement shoot. We shot at Cantigny, which you know I just love, and the grounds were pretty spectacular that weekend (the grounds change quite often). We did get eaten by mosquitoes but it was totally worth it. I love me some sunsety light which I love about Soledad’s and Kurt’s images!
So next year I’ve decided to just get a membership to Cantigny in Wheaton. If you haven’t been GO! And if you’re a wedding photographer reading this, if you haven’t made your way to Cantigny, then I feel sorry for you! And if you need more help, here’s the address: 1S151 Winfield Rd Wheaton, IL 60189-3397 (630) 668-5161
Anyway, I love Anna and Ethan as clients. They’re a blast. Anna follows me on twitter and we respond back and forth a lot! She also is on top of any twitter giveaways I do (hint, I give stuff away on twitter)! Recently they even adopted a cute (kind of little) lab named Scooby who is a typical lab. Anna is used to big st. bernards who don’t really move a whole lot. Since I have a kind of lab and always post about her antics, I hope Anna knew what she was getting herself into! Both Ethan and Anna love to laugh and I totally just let them be themselves. And boy was it fun!
I seriously love this one. It totally says everything. I think Anna wanted a squirrel and Ethan said no!
love these both!
mmm light
Can’t wait to photograph your crazy awesome wedding next year!!
So Megan and Jeremy opted to go to one of my favorite photo places in the suburbs and that’s Cantigny in Wheaton! I love that place, perfectly sculpted gardens all year long, great grounds and it’s not crowded, not even on the weekends! I need to buy a pass for next year! That’s for sure!
We laughed a lot, in fact looking back on the pictures, Megan and Jeremy were cracking up! I didn’t know I was that funny, and I’m sure I’m not!
I did make her wait and thanks to some other events, this wasn’t up as early as I had hoped. I’m sure she’s been refreshing the page non-stop all day. Right? Hi Kelli!
