Acquaviva Winery in Maple Park Wedding Photography

     Emily and Kevin bonded while watching "How I Met your Mother". We took some of their engagement photos with that iconic yellow umbrella, so It was fate their day started off with a little rain. Emily and Kevin both got ready at the Pheasant Run Resort in St.Charles Illinois. Emily had the most beautiful wedding gown with a delicate pearl back necklace which was something I had never seen before.
     The ceremony took place the the Aquaviva Winery at Maple Park. Kevin was in tears watching his beautiful bride-to-be walk down the aisle. The rain kept us off the vineyard but let up just as the ceremony ended so we were able to head outside. The foggy haze made for some beautiful portraits and we finished up inside in the wine barrel room.
     Just as we went back inside it started pouring, perfect timing. Kevin and Emily danced the night away with their family and friends. One of the highlights was Kevin's brother really getting  "Bye Bye Bye" which is pretty much the best song of the early 2000's. 
     Take a peek at their wonderful wedding day bellow.

Joliet Patrick Haley Mansion Fall Wedding

 I met with Matt and Candice last winter to talk to them about their fall wedding they were planning in one of the most gorgeous venues I have been to. It was a really warm October day, unseasonably warm, which was just perfect. Rain was in the forecast but it held off just long enough so they were able to get married outside as they had planned. As Candice and Matt read their vows there was not a dry eye in the entire place. They were surrounded by their loved ones on their special day and we even made the rain work for some fun shots outside! Congratulations Matt and Candice!!!
