Dana + Dave

It is so hard to sum up in a short blog post all of the images that were captured during a wedding day.  There are the details, the unexpected emotions captured in the camera, the portraits, speeches, dances, and the list goes on and on.  I have to pinch myself a little bit when I think about how lucky I am to share in all of these moments with a bride and groom.  

Dave and Dana's wedding was an absolute stunner.  Each detail was so carefully planned and realized throughout the day.  I attended college with the couple so it was an extra bonus for me that I got to catch up with old friends and laugh and share the day with fellow Brits.  Their ceremony and reception was held at Westmoreland Country Club outside of Chicago, Illinois.  The grounds were gorgeous and set the perfect backdrop for Dave and Dana's late summer wedding. 

While the entire day was perfect, I have two favorite moments that I just have to share. The first was the couple's first look.  They were so anxious and excited to see each other.  That one moment before they saw each other for the first time on their wedding day was filled with so much love and anticipation. I felt so honored to be a bystander watching all of the love between the two of them.  My other favorite moment had to be on the dance floor. It was the best mix of different generations just busting a move together. The couple had an awesome band that kept the party going late into the night. 

Thank you so much for including me in your day, Dave and Dana. It was a true honor to capture the memories and to get to know all of the people that celebrated with you. Cheers to a life of happiness and endless celebration together!

Heather + Steve

I was so excited when a got a text message from one of my college sorority sisters asking if I would be available to photograph her wedding.  It is always such an honor to spend the entire day with someone on their wedding and it is extra special when that person is one of your friends. 

Heather and Steve's wedding was perfectly them- from the relaxing morning getting ready with the girls to the outdoor ceremony and outrageously fun party.  Their rustic wedding was a joy to photograph and we certainly had some fun with the props they brought along for their bridal party- I can say I have never photographed shotguns with the bridesmaids before! The best part was how naturally calm and happy everyone was.  Heather and Steve clearly wanted everyone to have a great day celebrating- and they certainly did!

Thanks so much for letting me share in your day, Heather and Steve.  Watching your family beam with your joy during your wedding shows just how loving and supportive your future together is going to be! Cheers to the new Mr. & Mrs. Koch!
