October 2009

Omg...is October over already?!? If nothing else, this month taught me that brides are built tough!  No matter what the weather brought: 30 degrees, non-stop rain & unrelenting wind, my brides endured it all with grace & a smile. In every photograph the couples looked as though the weather was perfect for a vacation in Hawii. 

10-17-2009 Brad & Lindsay

Loved this couple for two reasons: 1) They are very close to their families. 2) They ran Chicago's Half Marathon as a couple! That's team work.

Aww...First time Lindsay's dad laid eyes on her before the ceremony. I set up this moment by having her dad keep his back turned as Lindsay came down the stairs. I kept telling him how beautiful she looked until he just had to turn around & see for himself.

Lindsay glancing back before heading off to be married.

Brad, moments before "I do."

Finally, the couple together! And yes, this was a 30 degree day. I can't tell, can you?

10-23-2009 Luke & Eunice

You may remember me blogging about this very special couple back in September.  Luke & Eunice are friends of mine. Luke is deaf & Eunice is not. I took their engagement photographs and now it was time for their wedding...and I was a guest! Luke's mom told me to relax & enjoy myself, which I did. I don't think I left the dance floor for more than five minutes. To my surprise the wedding photographer in me stayed dormant until...

The father/daughter dance. It gets to me everytime!

 

 

Take care until next month!
