Jessy + Greg || Wedding!

Wednesday, August 31st, 2011

 Love stories can come about from various ways.  A set up from a friend, meeting at a bar, and more and more these days, from a dating website!  Jessy and Greg met through just that.  Match.com brought these two together, and they couldn’t be a more perfect match… well at least after their first date they were.  Their not so great first date didn’t end in a traditional hug or kiss, but with a high five!  Not wanting to give up on the dating scene though, Jessy asked Greg what it was about her and them that didn’t work.  Well, turned out that Greg was actually still very much interested.  So after more NON-high five ending dates, their love blossomed… bringing us to their wedding day.

They chose the elegant Hotel Monaco as the backdrop for their big day.  Lucky for their dog, Suzy, Hotel Monaco was very pet friendly, so how could they not inlude her?!   As cute as she was though, Jessy and Greg were most definitely the center of everyone’s attention.  That’s what happens when you have a gorgeous bride and groom!

Thank you Jessy and Greg for choosing us to document your beautiful day.  You guys rocked in front of the camera, and we hope for only the best for your new lives together!  Cheers!!

Muneerah + Vinnie || Wedding!

Saturday, August 27th, 2011

Muneerah and Vinnie are a beautiful couple that we met last year as they started planning for their wedding.  Their laid back attitude made their wedding day stress free, not just for them, but for us as well!  The day could not have gone any smoother, and the weather (thank goodness) could not have been better.  From the beautiful church, to the fun photo shoot at the gorgeous Museum of Science and Industry, to the awesome music and dancing at their reception, Muneerah and Vinnie planned out a perfect day.

Thank you both for welcoming us into your lives and allowing us to photograph the love and memories of your special day. Cheers to a lifetime of love and happiness.  You guys are awesome!  (and GO BEARS!)  =)

Kelly + Greg || Wedding!

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2011

When we first meet a couple face to face to talk about their wedding, we usually spend about an hour talking about the details, the timeline, etc.  We met with Kelly and Greg, talked about their wedding for about 20 minutes, and the rest of the time we talked about movies and tv shows we all liked.  From that point on, we knew we’d have some fun with this great couple at their wedding!

The day started off at the lovely Herrington Inn in Geneva.  While they got ready, Kelly decided last minute she wanted to do a first-look.  LOVE!  It was just the right amount of anticipation, tears of joy, and pure happiness.  Right after their sweet and emotional first look, we walked right across the street to the beautiful Riverside Receptions.

It was an evening of love, laughter, and dancing (lots by Greg!).  Thank you Kelly and Greg for allowing us to photograph all those precious moments!  Cheers to you both!!
