Brenna & Amy

Brenna & Amy's ceremony took place on September 24, 2010. It was our first same-sex ceremony and could've have been more fun to be a part of. It was a first for nearly all of the over 100 attendees as well as most of the vendors. I was so happy to be a part of their big day!

Huber's Plantation in Indiana was such a beautiful location for their day.

Amy has four adorable goddaughters who were the flower girls: Bella, Ila, Ashly and Sasha.

The ceremony location could not have been more beautiful! To make the ceremony even more special, Amy's sister conducted the ceremony.

 I loved the details of the reception! These floating flowers were perfect.

I love this colorful wooden box that they used as their guestbook. Each letter had a fun collage with a different positive message.

This cake was not only delicious, but fun and beautiful!

I was so happy to be a part of this ceremony and wish that Brenna & Amy have a wonderful long life together filled with incredible memories.

Cheers!

Colleen & Brandon

I had so much fun photographing Colleen & Brandon's big day in charming Kirkwood, Missouri, not far from where Colleen grew up.

Colleen & Brandon met in college and were happy to finally tie the knot.

The girls helping Colleen get into her dress.

I love the colors of this wedding - yellow & purple. The flowers were a great way to display their beautiful rings.

Colleen definitely wanted her feet to be comfortable all day, so she sported these

cute white ballet shoes.

The bridesmaids bouquets were colorful & fun. 

 Colleen looks so elegant on this winding staircase.

The guys at the Kirkwood train station.

The guys wanted to do a spoof photograph of Abbey Road.  Thankfully no one went barefoot!

The girls wanted to do a spoof on the guys spoof!

The bridal bouquet beautifully tied in the yellow, white and ivory colors. 

First official kiss as husband & wife.

Kirkwood was so charming and full of surprising places, like this funky chair sculpture - which I love!

Just after the wedding, the best man surprised Brandon & Colleen with a stretch hummer to take them to their reception.

The entire wedding party looking great!

Since the weather was extremely hot (over 95 degrees), the bridesmaids thought it would be fun to get in the fountain and get some fun pictures.

 

I love the romance in this picture of the newlyweds during their first dance.

Colleen's mom was hilarious and brought her funny glasses to the reception.

I love the elegant detail and colors of this cake.  Almost too pretty to eat - almost...

This has got to be one of the funniest bouquet toss expressions I've ever seen! Unforgettable!

The happy couple with their adorable toasting glasses.


Though it was a little hot, I had a blast photographing Colleen & Brandon's wedding! They were so much fun & I wish them a very happy life together.




Cheers!

Paige & Kevin

Paige & Kevin had a spectacular New Year's Eve wedding at the Park Hyatt in Chicago. Here are some of our favorite photographs from the night!

This photograph is a great combination of Paige's beautiful reception shoes, her dress and the great

view from her bridal suite.

    The ladies looking beautiful!

Paige & Kevin's first time seeing each other on their big day!

Paige & Kevin braved the cold to take some great photographs by the water tower.

Though the weather was brisk, they kept each other smiling.

Kevin grew up in Chicago and said the Water Tower was one of his favorite places in the city.

The ceremony was beautiful lit with ambient lighting and candles down the aisles. The gorgeous design of the ceremony & reception was by Berkley Lane of Botanicals.

The Nomi Bar in the Park Hyatt has a gorgeous wine room where we captured this moment.

I love this photograph of Paige. She talked earlier on how she unintentionally picked a lot of vintage accessories for her wedding. With her hair styled to the side, she looks like a movie star from the 1930's.

I love this unique look with the feathers and the brouche in Paige's hair.

This wedding party was so much fun to work with!

Paige & Kevin's first dance. The cake says it all.

The David Rothstein Orchestra rocked the night away as everyone counted down the new year!

Welcome 2010 and congratulations to Paige & Kevin Kelly!

Cheers!
