We are so excited that Ruthie + Tom's wedding was chosen to be one of the featured weddings in the latest issue of Wisconsin Bride. We just found out we will have another wedding featured in the next issue. Stay tuned! :o)
Shortly after New Year's we had another power wedding at the Overture! It is fun how even though events can be at the same location, they can still be so unique. Beyond Elegant Events did a wonderful job pulling everything together. Rachel did all of her own designing of her stationery. It was beautiful!
There is one word that truly describes Rachel + Jason as a couple – unplugged. It was a word that was heard often to describe Jason. I would say Rachel is more of the plugged-in half of the couple. Together, they are perfect! They totally balance each other. We had so much fun hanging out with them and their friends and families on New Year's eve. What a way to bring in the New Year. Rachel + Jason are so obviously loved by everyone. It was wonderful!
Shortly after Christmas we had the honor of photographing Rachel + Adam's wedding. After getting a huge dumping of snow the week before, we were greeted by weather in the 40s and rain which means a big slushy mess and fog. Despite the weather, their day was beautiful. We began with some preparations at ANUI and then headed over to the Hilton to get dressed.
Karyn + Kevin got married a couple of weeks ago in Rockford at the Klehm Arboretum. The grounds were spectacular and the light was so beautiful throughout the day. The best part about the day was Karyn + Kevin. They are amazing together and have a gift for making everyone around them feel amazing as well!
I could not wait to post this with the others from Karyn + Kevin's wedding!
Meena and Alec had an amazing wedding two weeks ago at the American Club. The fall weather was bright, warm and without flaw.
Here is a link to a slideshow for more of our favorites. There were so many.
**The slideshow music needs explanation for those of you who do not know Meena and Alec. The song is "The Shining" by Badly Drawn Boy. It was an integral part of their wedding and really spoke to the two of them – it really is a beautiful song.
I was in love with Meena's bouquet.
There were three adorable flower girls. Two of them were twins, one had the flu and the other – well – here she is! I think she was feeling just fine. I love how she looks like she is levitating. It pretty much sums up their energy level for the day.
Meena was a hand wringer. :o) She was calm, but expressed her nervousness very eloquently through her hands.
Such a sweet first look from Alec.
One of the many things we love about weddings are the emotions that flow. And they DID flow for Meena and Alec.
Meena's co-maid and dude of honor had a hysterical speech. Daniel had kept all of the emails that Meena had sent that declared here love for Alec from the very beginning. That is a dedicated friend!
A little fun with the rings! They had an old-school photo booth which was a huge hit.
A couple of years ago Mike had the pleasure of working with Knupp + Watson on their annual fundraiser called Goodstock. One of the very talented graphic designers Mike got to work alongside was Andrew. Ironically, Goodstock was on the same day as Andrew and Anne Marie's wedding.
Anne Marie and Andrew have been together since High School and are absolutely perfect together! There day was filled with so much laughter – you will notice this just a few times through out these pictures. Even if we asked them to try to keep a straight face, this would usually induce fits of laughter from just about everyone.
Here is the slideshow of our favorites!
Loving the fall colors!
Beautiful flowers by Donna Sager!
The girls just noticed that Mike was taking their picture! They thought they were being sneaky.
There was some singing that gave the wedding party a case of the giggles! It was too funny, however, I don't think the pastor thought so. :o)
This image cracks me up.
We had a ton of fun with portraits with these two.
People have such mixed feelings about the art installation that is at the MMOCA right now. I love it though. It really makes for some great color.
I was crazy for the light and shadows that was happening here.
This shot made my day!!!
Anne-Marie enjoying some of that lovely light.
We are not sure what exactly is going on here, other than Andrew really seems to be digging the cake.
