I have such wonderful clients! I know I say that a lot, but it really is true. In this job, you really get to know people over the course of a year (sometimes more!), during a really important time…and then you spend the most important day of their lives alongside them…it really is a pretty unique and wonderful experience, and I don’t take my amazing clients for granted!
I made the trek out to Pontiac Illinois last weekend to shoot Tana & Joe’s wedding. Trust me, its waaay out there…to give you a little perspective, its 30+ miles from the nearest Starbucks. (I checked on Google Maps before I left Chicago, so that I’d know where to make a stop.) The great news about that drive was that the Lite (93.9fm) started playing Christmas music last weekend so I just sang my way to Pontiac….the time just flew right on by. Pontiac was charming, as were the friends and family at Joe & Tana’s wedding.
The beautiful bride!Joe & Tana opted to do a ‘First Look’…which gave us plenty of time (and enough light) to get photos of them and the wedding party before the ceremony. I have to say, I am a big fan of the First Look.Tana. I love this one! It was fun to see you laughing and having fun on your weddin’ day.This ahhh-mazing car is Tana’s dad’s. He recently restored it, and then let us use it for wedding photos. I’m not normally all that big on classic cars, but this one sure was pretty!Love this shot. Love. Tana is smokin’ in this picture!I loved the sparklers!! This was the perfect time of day for it too…Pretty sweet get-away car.
There were some really sweet words said about both Joe & Tana during the toasts, this is definitely one of my favorite parts of the wedding day.A bunch of kids got as close as they could to the dance floor, its really cute to see how the little ones (especially the girls) are so drawn to brides.Haha!! Love it.Tana & Joe, I hope you’re relaxing and soaking up the sun today! I wish you both all the best.
