Ok, so when Kim told me she wanted to take part in my post-session offerings, she didn’t want to necessarily TRASH her dress, I told her not to worry, brought a towel and we were all good! If you remember their wedding then you know that we were kind of rained out on the day of! We had plans to go to downtown Long Grove and take advantage of all the neat areas and shops, but the weather had other plans. All in all it worked out in the end! Kim contacted me and said she and Mike really wanted pictures still in Long Grove in wedding attire, so Kim got back in the dress, convinced Mike with some coffee and there we were! Thankfully on the early November day, it was warmer than it was in October! Who knew!? Kim and Mike are the type of couple I love to photograph, they just act themselves and don’t need much direction, and well, just generally FUN! Their wedding turned into one of my new shiny sample albums (of course I’ll post when they come in!!)

So without further ado, some post-wedding photos!

At some point in this one, they realized I was laying on the ground. Seriously. Laying on the ground. I apparently scared a lot of Long Grove by doing this as well!

We found a local park and Kim was in.

nothing like carrying your bride, or maybe stealing??

love.

and finally this one:

It was great photographing your engagement session, wedding and now trash the dress!!
