Christine & Kevin get married

What a great time we had on Saturday at the wedding of Christine and Kevin. We started off in Springfield at Christine's parent's home for the getting ready. Christine's mom made all the dresses, including Christine's wedding dress. To my delight, the gown was hanging in the sewing room waiting for me to play with some detail shots. After we completely re-arranged the furniture in the house to really make use of some beautiful natural light, we headed down the street to Kevin's house where the boys were hanging out. We were so excited to meet up there with the guys and Kevin sure knows how to decorate! We had a blast utilizing these surroundings and keeping it light and fun.

Next stop was St. Matthews Lutheran Church which was another short trot down the road. What a pretty church it was, nice and bright. Most memorable moment for me was the sticky note stating "enjoy" that the pastor had written out for Christine and Kevin. After doing most of the formals at the church, it was time to head downtown.

A year ago, Christine and Kevin had expressed interest in doing their photography at the steps of the art museum. Since that time, the museum has begun a significant construction project and is completely covered in scaffolding. We did know this a head of time, and Christine and Kevin know how we love a challenge so we still went! And what a blast we had. A big thank you to you two for giving us so much creative freedom!

Our final stop was at the Ballroom at the Ben for a beautiful reception. The setting was completely opposite the scaffolding and gates we had just been at, so it was fun to spend some time doing some more imagery before the party started - and what a party it was! Over the year that we have gotten to know Christine and Kevin, we know they love to laugh and they surround themselves with people who like to also. What fun for us!

Thank you Christine and Kevin for making our job so enjoyable and fun! We wish you a wonderful marriage and fun honeymoon!
