...i'll be his and he'll be mine...part 4 {holzer-hall wedding, marriott lincolnshire}
It’s almost time…
Shooting and editing a wedding is a labor of love. So much time is spent planning followed by time spent at the actual wedding and, finally, weeks spent going over all the images to cull and edit down to only the best images from the day.
In a lot of ways, it is a huge relief to complete and deliver the images. I know that family & friends are anxious to see images, so it feels good to know that they can now share the story of their day.
In other ways, it’s a little like saying goodbye to a friend. I’ve spent so much time with these people, it’s a little sad to move on.
But…it’s almost that time…time to deliver and say goodbye to these faces that I’ve been looking at daily, for almost 6 weeks.
I also want to share a funny story from the wedding (with permission from MIB!): Take a peek at the first image of the bride and groom with the cake. Do you see the looks on their faces? That’s not their cake!
You read that correctly…THAT.IS.THE.WRONG.CAKE.
I found out about the cake after the wedding and then I caught this while I was editing because in the moment, they rolled with the punches. And, in case anybody is wondering…the venue made up for the mistake. All good…
I’m planning to finish up this week, but in the meantime, here’s the last peek from the Holzer-Hall celebration!
Shout out to Tina Harle, my right hand gal and second shooter.

“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.”
― Pablo Neruda
It’s been 3 weeks since I had the pleasure of photographing Anna & Matt’s beautiful wedding! Three weeks! It doesn’t seem possible…but here we are.
I’m about halfway through my editing and wanted to share a few more images from their day…I hope to roll out 1 more sneak peek before I deliver their images.
Enjoy a few portraits that we were able to sneak in between the drizzle and downpour!

When the world is cold
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight” -Frank Sinatra
Yesterday, I spent the day documenting the wedding of Anna & Matt. These 2 could not have been sweeter or more gracious from the beginning of our talks of working together until we said our goodbyes last night. What an honor to witness such a lovely day!
I have a lot of photos to pore over, so I will share a little at a time…relax & enjoy the slow roll out of their day.
Huge thanks go out to:
Tina Harle Photography, who second shot for me and captured the groom & groomsmen while I was with the bridal party!
Hair and makeup by the fantabulous Sara Jean Stevens!

Today, I had the honor of photographing a lovely, intimate wedding at The Plant, which is located in the Back of the Yards neighborhood. The space is housed in a former meatpacking plant & full of natural light…a dream for any photographer.
Enjoy this quick look at a few of the images…
Congrats to Jamie & Alex!

I had the pleasure of documenting a 50th Anniversary celebration last night and even though I promised that I would only be blogging about mamas during May, I’m going to share a few images from yesterday.
To be fair, the bride is a mama x3 and a grandmother x8, so it still works!
Enjoy!
