Last weekend Kathy and Matt were married in front of their closest family and friends. The day started off with a few surprises. First it was raining like crazy on the east side of town and looked like it would all day. Not the best for the outdoor reception that was planned for later that evening. Second, I was greeted by a limping groom at the church. Matt and broken his foot earlier in the week. He put in a good effort and made it down the aisle without the walking boot and with a smile on his face, but I’d expect nothing less from a fireman!
The rain stopped just around the time the ceremony ended and we hit the fire station for a few quick shots before heading to the reception at their house. A huge tent filled the backyard and a big BBQ was on. Dinner, dancing and a great party ended with a beautiful release of Chinese lanterns after the sun set. It was the perfect ending to the night!

So let me get this straight….I get to drive around in a golf cart like a maniac and take awesome pictures. Sign me up. Spent the night at Pine Hills Golf Course taking some great photos with Marcia and Kevin. I did not take pictures of the new automobile.
More to come…

So many great pictures from today’s wedding, but the end of the evening was my favorite part! They release Chinese Lanterns and made a wish! I’m sure it will come true.

While Madison doesn’t go to school out in Vermillion, it’s where she spends a lot of her summer and with family and friends so it made for the perfect spot to head to for her senior portrait session. We spent a bit of time down on the beach and then strolled through town stopping when a spot looked interesting. I have to say, I think things turned out pretty good. I’m a little biased, though, she is my niece!
Congratulations Madison!

I cannot say enough about the fun I’ve had with Christy and Mark since meeting for the first time at the beginning of 2011. Their engagement shoot was a lot of fun and it carried right on over to the wedding. It’s obvious how much they mean to each other and how important their friends and family are to their relationship as well. In fact, they entire congregation at the ceremony became part of the vows!
We met early in the afternoon at Mark’s parent’s house for everybody to get ready and to do the first look. This is my second time at Mark’s parent’s place and I’m wondering if I can pay them to use if for photoshoots! It’s beautiful – the deck, the large backyard and the pond! Once Mark got to see his bride for the first time we did some quick pictures with all the family and then headed off to Squire’s Castle for some “not so” formals!
The ceremony was a Pine Ridge Country Club in Willoughby. It’s a beautiful layout. The ceremony took place in front of a full house and ended with a standing ovation! Then it was time for dinner, drinks and a whole lot of dancing!
And clown shoes…
Christy’s something old was lace from her grandmother’s wedding dress.
Congratulations Christy and Mark!
