LITTLE WILL : ALL SMILES

I don't know how many times I need to repeat myself in saying I LOVE MY JOB!!!!!!

When I initially meet with a bride I have HIGH, .... HIGH
hopes that I will not only be their wedding day photographer but also their photographer for life!

In this case it is true.

Meet: Mark, Anne and little Will



I meet Mark and Anne in 2005. We hit it off initially and then their wedding came. After the wedding
we lost touch until Will came! Anne gave me a call and said "Hey we have a son Will now and would
LOVE you to photograph him!" Of course I was soooooo excited! I just could not wait to see Mark,
Anne and now meet Will!

Here is the new family!



Anne enjoying time with Will:



and Mark making Will laugh:



LOVE LOVE LOVE Will's smile!


Now time to meet Will:

SHARON & DAVE: TRUE LOVE

Sharon & Dave are just so sweet together!

Dave is a local volunteer firefighter and came to us about Sharon and his wedding. I was just so excited!!!

Once we met and hearing about their day I was truly moved.

The big wedding took place 08.15.08 at The Pavilion On Crystal Lake.
That day was a scary one....why you ask???? Well the weather called for thunder showers in the afternoon and we just about missed them. The weather held out for such an emotional and sweet ceremony.... got through some groups and some shots with the two of them ....and then...... the rain came down.... I mean poured!!!!!!!

but hey at least we got most of our photos!

The evening started with the ceremony:

Love this one of Sharon and her dad coming down the aisle




Instead of lighting a unity candle Sharon and Dave wanted to do something different to make sure both all their kids knew they were important to them and now a big family. So they did a sand pouring ceremony:



And WE ARE MARRIED!!!!!!


A special moment after the ceremony:





An emotional moment between father and daughter



A couple of shots before the rain:





An emotional moment during the first dance:


Sharon & Dave thank you sooooo much for having us!

That's pretty good seeming that they always cream all the other teams. This was our first year being a kickball team and coming in 2nd we are all very proud of our little team!

HERE WE ARE
