Lindsay and Bob’s Wedding Day Story

 

Lindsay and Bob’s wedding day was full of family and friend’s celebrating their union.  Lindsay’s sister honored her in a beautiful toast, remarking on her kind spirit. She noted how, even on her wedding day, Lindsay was thoughtful of others, choosing to where Toms’ shoes knowing someone else in the world would also receive a pair because of the purchase.

Bob’s best friend brought the house down, provoking belly laughs across the room with his dry wit.

There were also not one but two Irish wedding blessings, and fist pumping to the Illini fight song.

Congrats Lindsay and Bob!

Jaycee and Bryan’s Arlington Heights Engagement Session

I’m really excited to share this engagement session because it happens to feature a sweet, talented friend and colleague, Jaycie Kurfess, who is one of the favorites Laurie Peacock and I work on shoots for my sister company Revealed Studios.  Over the last three years, Jaycie has become a friend and inspiration.  I jumped with joy when I found out I would be photographing her wedding.

Her fiance, Bryan is a gentle giant, standing what must be at least a foot about her.  The two play and tease like best friends one minute, then share in tender embraces the next.  They have great energy and are a joy to be around. I’m so excited for their wedding!

Becky + Darnell’s Arlington Heights Wedding

Becky and Darnell were married 30 minutes outside of Chicago in Arlington Heights, IL. I was able to spend sometime with  the couple a little before their wedding during their engagement session. They’re fun, funny, and kind people.  I love Becky’s easy going laugh and Darnell’s quiet sense of humor.

Their day was full of family-including three lovely flower girls who wooed myself and second shooter Tom Root. They were Becky’s little helpers dressed like mini-me’s in layered white fabric.  One of my favorite moments was when Becky captured their attention, and like magic, had them all sitting patiently as she spun them a fairytale-patiently for two minutes, but hey, that’s a lot for a day full of hustle and bustle!

Big thanks to Tom Root who seconded with me on this one!
