Angela and David’s wedding at Riverside in Geneva

I love getting to know my clients before their big day.  When Angela and I first met, I got a great feeling about her-confident and kind, she and David were a joy to photograph, starting with their engagement session.  Chatting with them the year leading up to their wedding, I developed a great deal of respect for this couple-both are attorneys, meeting in law school and becoming a dynamic force as partners in different projects together. During this past year of planning their wedding, they were living in different states (David’s been in California while Angela started her career in Chicago) and Angela also had to study for, then take,the bar exam in California, mere weeks before their wedding.  They handled everything with grace, keeping their focus on the joy they’d feel when the day finally arrived!

Their wedding, at the beautiful Riverside Reception in Geneva, was gorgeous, reflecting their love of architecture and nature.  We had a ball exploring the surrounding parks, snapping some super fun portraits along the river, before heading back for some amazing, hilarious, and touching speeches from friends and family.  It was a beautiful day, which achieved exactly what Angela and David set out to do, create a day that was “focused on our faith and our appreciation for our families and friends.”

Thanks to these amazing vendors for making it a great day!
