Geneva, IL Wedding Photography | Dan & Anne

Geneva, IL Wedding Photography.

Dan and Anne's wedding will forever live in my heart as the wedding at which I cried and laughed the most out of all the weddings I've ever photographed. Their ceremony was sweet, genuine, and most of all, hilarious. They weren't afraid to be themselves and share their hearts, which was truly a beautiful thing to witness. 

We only had an hour between the ceremony and reception for all of the photos (wedding party, family, just Dan & Anne), and since it was early March, that meant it was dark by the time we were able to photograph just D&A. It was dang cold, but these two were so great and I'm really proud of the images we got in the dark with just the lights from the surrounding buildings.

A paraphrase of my favorite line from Dan's brother's toast, "It was difficult to find a Wolverine quote on love. Very difficult. In fact, there isn't one.

Ya'll know how much I love a hoppin' dance floor, and this group did not disappoint! 

Congrats again, two! Blessings!!

Ceremony & Reception : Riverside Receptions

Favorite wedding day memory:
The ceremony because we had so many cute mistakes that showed our authentic relationship to our guests.

What they would have done differently: 
Better game plan for getting all stuff we brought to the venue home, I didn't really assign anyone to help and you are so tired at the end of the night.

Words of wisdom:
If you don't have a videographer, find some friends who might be comfortable capturing the most important moments for you.  There is so much you don't see either because of nerves or distractions.

Honeymoon:
Hawaii!! Oahu and Maui, most likely to be good weather and stuff to see and do.
 

Shout out to Carrie for second shooting this one with me!!
