I absolutely LOVE discovering new locations to shoot at. I get giddy when I see an incredible building or a gorgeous field with benches and trees. So when Jessica said she was from Hudson and wanted to shoot out there and then head out to a location near Lake Bloomington… I was pumped! I was even more pumped when we arrived… AMAZING. I loved the location she chose and it made for some beautiful pictures of the two of them! We got so many fun pictures… so here are several of my favorites!
This couple was beyond fun to work with! I had only met Brett and Lori once before the wedding day – so was a little nervous feeling as though I didn’t know a whole lot about them or their personalities. They also had an extremely large wedding party (9 on each side + 3 ushers) which can sometimes also be a little intimidating 🙂 But right when we arrived they were SOOO awesome, making both me and my second shooter, Stephanie, feel so welcome and comfortable! We also quickly connected with their fun and laid-back personalities and got some awesome pictures of both them and their extra-large bridal party!
It’s also so wonderful to hear feedback from my brides and their thoughts on the photos. Lori sent me an incredible letter expressing how much she loved the photos and how wonderful it was to get to work together. She also talked about how well Stephanie and I worked with such a large group! So glad I didn’t scare them off (or vice versa!).
Here are some (ok several) of my favorites from their wedding!
-
- Cops.
-
- My favorite from the day and so pleased they ordered a large float wrap for their new home! (I always love when my favorites are the brides favorites 🙂
-
- Yes, all three are peeing in that field.
-
- A pretty intense bridesmaid battle. I think three of them ended up on the floor 🙂
-
- So Brett & Lori had a photo booth with all kinds of fun props for dress up. FUN!
Mike and Kristen are getting married next June in Caitlin, IL. They were beyond sweet and it was so obvious they were both crazy about each other! One of the things I love most about what I do is getting to see so many different couples and the way they all interact. Some couples I can just tell… they are going to have a great marriage. This was one of those. I loved getting to work with them and can’t wait to photograph their wedding this coming year!
Here are a few of my favorites!
