I have been looking forward to Rachael & Chad’s wedding for the last year and a half or so.  Rachael and I met, probably close to 2 years now and hit it off.  We share the same love for shoes – as well as have a habit of changing our hair styles or hair color often.  : )

I had the honor of taking their family portraits last year out at their farm and was excited about returning to the farm for their wedding this year!  It took place outside on a VERY windy day in a gazebo that Chad built especially for this special occasion.  Rachael was probably one of the most laid back and relaxed brides I have seen.  She did such an amazing job with all of the planning and on the wedding day and of course looked stunning! 

The favorite part of the day for me was heading out to some old train cars to finish up the pictures with the wedding party.  I loved the lighting – the location – and the oncoming storm also helped as the dark clouds were incredible!  Ahhh yes….that was until the wind picked up and the rain started!  And that is what memories are made of!

You two hold such a special place in my heart and I wish you all the best for many years to come!

I loved the above shot because the background was Rachael’s mother’s wedding dress!

I don’t think that I have ever photographed a more organized and scheduled wedding as I did when Sophia & Calvin got married this summer.  I definitely appreciate organization and Calvin, complete with his scheduling program, had this wedding day planned out with precision.  I thought that the cake topper was so great and completely fitting for this couple as each of the figurines were talking on their cell phones!

This exceptionally hot wedding day began with taking pictures of Calvin and the guys getting ready.  There were some laughs – but there were also some tears as his family blessed him on his wedding day. What a special moment that was to be a part of.  Then it was off to see Sophia and the girls!  What an amazing job they did at looking gorgeous and keeping cool!..it was definitely not an easy thing to do that day!  After the ceremony the wedding party went out and had some fun – and turned a few heads in the process as we took pictures on the fire escape…..ahhh…the joys of being uncontained!  : )

Here are some of my favorites from that day.  I had to include a picture of the reception as the wedding party danced into the hall and Calvin & Sophia started their reception with a bang! 

Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your special day!  Wishing you both nothing but the very best!
