Highlights of the day include: the beautiful florals and coordinating by Emerald City Designs, Heather’s simple, elegant beauty and stunning headpiece from Crowning Glory, the hilarious wedding party, the vintage-looking cake by Graf’s, the sun streaming in the stained-glass windows during the ceremony, and most of all, our seemingly quiet and reserved couple who became a total riot at the reception!

Life, laughter, love…lots and lots of love. And life. And laughter. This is what comes to mind when we think of Julie and Ryan’s wedding. (Who you may remember from their fun engagement session.) There are so many lovely things we can say about this couple, it’s hard to know where to start. I guess we’ll start with Ryan’s smile. His huge, infectious smile. You’ll see it a lot throughout this post because he smiles often. It’s one of those smiles that can instantly make ANYone smile back. We can only imagine how much his elementary school teachers must have adored him. And then there’s Julie. Beautiful, kind, vivacious Julie. She’s one of those really down-to-earth, fun-loving girls. She’s the kind of girl who doesn’t care if she gets mud on her wedding dress because she just can’t resist jumping into the biggest leaf pile she’s ever seen with her new husband. To say we had a good time photographing these two would be an understatement. Other highlights include: The super fun, dramatic, windy weather, the beautiful Pine Lake Country Club and stunning St. Thomas More church, the hilarious and well-spoken priest, the fun people in the wedding party, the Blues Brother routine at the reception, working alongside the very talented Third Street Films, the many, many genuine moments of love and gratitude displayed by the bride and groom and of course, their contagious happiness and love. Julie and Ryan: Thank you. Thank you for choosing us to be a part of this incredible time in your lives. You are both truly remarkable people and we have thoroughly enjoyed working with you. We cannot wait to see where life takes you next! Enjoy a few of our favorites from your day below and don’t forget to click the link at the end to see more!

It was an absolutely gorgeous October day for Lindsay and Matt’s wedding. It was so great working with this fun-loving and laid-back couple! Highlights of the day include Lindsay’s ethereal Vera Wang dress, the first look and fun shooting spots at Mae Stecker park, the sassy, hilarious bridesmaids and sarcastic groomsmen, the beautiful fall colors and glowing sunlight, the gorgeous flowers and rose petals lining the aisle by Twigs and Branches, the amazing seating chart engraved into glass, and the incredibly entertaining dance party and the playfulness between the bride and groom at the Sycamore Hills reception. Lindsay and Matt: It was so much fun working with you both!! You complement each other so well and your love for one another is evident. Thanks again for choosing us to document your amazing day!
