Angel & Lynn: Love Life

Angel & Lynn got married last month at the First Congregational Church of Geneva. Their wedding was like a walk down memory lane for me for many reasons. First, I grew up in Geneva, so any time I'm back there I get a little nostalgic. Second, I went to high school with Lynn, so it was fun to reconnect with her on such a special day. Finally, Jay and I almost got married at the First Congregational Church of Geneva. In the end, we said our vows at the First Baptist Church of Geneva, but I enjoyed witnessing a ceremony in the quaint and inviting church.

Angel's mom and Lynn's mom were so proud. They both glowed all day.

I love this series of images. They had a rainy wedding morning, but the sun shined brightly as they walked out of the church...married!

Cutie patooty flower girl. She and her sister were tearing up the dance floor at the reception. :D

It wasn't difficult to get the romantic shots with them. They were smooching all day. :D

They had their reception at Fisherman's Inn...another place that brings back some great childhood memories for me. Lynn saw these geese floating on the water, so we grabbed a few shots before dinner.

I think Lynn was whistling at Angel and his guys here. They were working it for Kelly.

I caught Angel's mom and dad 'having a moment.'

Lynn and her new family.

First dance...

Congratulations, Angel and Lynn. I wish you both much happiness in the future!

Virginia sneak peek

Virginia rocked! My main purpose for going was to photograph a BEAUTIFUL wedding, but I also had the opportunity to do a super fun maternity shoot, go on a fantastic photo safari and take a spooky ghost tour. Here are just a few images, many more images and details to come.

Ok, so I didn't actually see a ghost on the ghost tour, but it was a lot of fun to hear the stories.

More soon!

Heidi & John: Love Life

Wedding season is in full swing. It actually began last month, but I've been so busy editing pictures and catching up on some 'Leo' time, that I haven't blogged about any of the weddings yet! I'll start with Heidi and John who got married last month on THE most beautiful May day. The bridesmaids' yellow dresses were a perfect choice.

Karleigh, Heidi's daughter, was not only the flower girl, but she was a huge part of the ceremony. John gave Karleigh a promise ring to show the unity of their new family.

John's dad was very excited to let us include his baby...er, his car in the shots.

Their ring bearer started out very shy and reserved, but he warmed up to the camera as the day went on. This shot (#1) was taken only about an hour before shot #2:

#2

I love John's expression in this image.

This was taken after John gave Karleigh her ring.
