Part 2 – Karen and Greg's November Wedding

Kara — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 14:55:47 +0000

Ok, so it’s no surprise, I can’t really write much in the mornings right? So I’ll make this short because I KNOW you’re here for the continuation of Karen and Greg’s wedding slideshow! Their reception was held at Belvedere Banquets in Elk Grove Village (1170 W Devon Ave Elk Grove Village, IL 60007-3214 (847) 534-0600?) and the staff there was just great! My friend Don from XL Entertainment was there to keep the dance floor packed all night long (and he really kept it going all night long! And it was a party, I love working with Don, he truly gets it when it comes to reception music! I also had a great time working with their videographer Don Bloom, he was really a pleasure and awesome, so if you’re looking for either a DJ or Videographer, look into Don and Don!

I would also like to thank my wonderful hubby for coming along with me to be the 2nd shooter, he did a fabulous job and I couldn’t have been happier and I’m sure Karen and Greg agree when they see their wedding images!!

And if you’re curious: slideshow 1, wedding sneak, engagement 1 and engagement 2

Whew! It was great getting to know you and Greg!

Karen and Greg, it's slideshow time!

I’m up early getting Karen and Greg’s slideshow(s) together! So they had a TON of images, left me a ton of time (despite what the sun had in mind!) so I just couldn’t put it all in one, so you’ll get round two soon, like almost immediately…

I had a great time photographing their wedding day and despite I got home into the wee hours of the morning I knew Karen and Greg were still awake since they were hoping on a plane to their honeymoon at some early hour (I believe it was 5, but had to be at the airport by 3:30 or 4! Yikes!).

Ok, ok, slideshow right? That’s what you came here for right?

Ok, part two of your wonderful November wedding day is to come!

Karen and Greg on a warm November day!

Who knew that November could actually be warmer than most days in October?! Karen did. She scoped out the weather for November 14 for the past 3 years and knew that it was always pretty decent! We had planned on going to Volkening Lake in Schaumburg for bridal party pictures but a thick cloud cover came it, so Karen and Greg were ok with moving it to a random park near their church!

Isn’t this just too perfect? My lovely husband who came along to be my 2nd shooter for the day captured this gem!

look at the picture on the right, it’s one of my favorites! Though you can’t see their faces, can’t you tell what they look like? It gives me chills and I tear up just thinking about it!

I’m so in love with this picture:

We then headed over to Belvedere Banquets in Elk Grove Village (1170 W Devon Ave Elk Grove Village, IL 60007-3214 (847) 534-0600?) for the reception! Don from XL Entertainment was there to keep the dance floor packed all night long! And it was a party, I love working with Don, he truly gets it when it comes to reception music! I also had a great time working with their videographer Don Bloom, he was really a pleasure and awesome!

And finally, this one I laid on the ground, in the middle of the dance floor, then got spun around by one of the groomsman (totally unplanned!) It seems whenever I’m at a wedding with Don he dares me to lay on the dance floor again with my fisheye, and there I went!

Hope you had a great time on your honeymoon!! Hope these brighten up this cloudy day! I had a great time with all you at your wedding!!
