Downers Grove Wedding Photographer: Perfectly paired with a beer...

There are so many things that I could say about this wedding and I know I am not going to make it through all of them!  

I taught Frank's younger sister my first year of teaching.  She was my pride and joy and the one student who really showed me the affect that photography can have on young people!  So I couldn't have been more thrilled when Frank called and told me he got engaged and that they wanted me to photograph their wedding.  

When I first met Stephanie and Frank I could immediately tell they were so in love...and were loving planning this big wedding.  They had so many incredible ideas and were really set on making this wedding as unique as they are.  Everything from the custom designed programs to the home brewed "For Richer of Poorer" beer that was served at the wedding, they outdid themselves.  Their creativity was astounding.  

One of my favorite parts of the wedding had to have been the food!  Unbelievable.  Pork belly, macadamia nut encrusted halibut, and wild mushroom risotto...all phenomenal!  Great job Lisa with Maison Cuisine!

So here are some of my favorites...vintage mansion for the reception filled with vintage furniture, handcrafted brews, and adorable bride and groom chocolate covered strawberries...a wedding made of perfection!

Enjoy!  And congrats to Frank and Stephanie!

Geneva Wedding Photographer: Kevin & Carrie

I felt so lucky to be able to photograph Carrie & Kevin's wedding! I have known Carrie since we were very little. Our parent's were good friends and we all vacationed together and spent many of days playing school, bossing each other, and just being silly kids.

So when I had heard that Carrie got engaged, I was THRILLED when she contacted me to photograph her big day.

Carrie was the most gorgeous bride, so relaxed and ready to have fun...so it was a great day! Her new husband Kevin, was the same. He is such a great guy and was so fun to work with.

I am so happy for both of them...and even happier with how the photographs turned out!

Here are a few of my favorites!

Geneva Wedding Photographer: A Love Story

Maggie and John are the IT couple!

Maggie made the most beautiful bride and John was a strikingly handsome groom...and to think they told me when we first met that they are really unphotogenic...ha! They have to be kidding, right?! I find it hard to believe that they have ever taken a bad photograph in their life.

So the weather was up then down, rainy then sunny, but in the end it ended up being a gorgeous day with a lot of celebration to be had! I had a wonderful time getting to know John and Maggie and getting to know all of their friends and family.

So here are some of my favorites from the fabulous day!
