Brad and Brianna are the kind of people that you can be around for 5 minutes and already feel like their friends. We hadn’t even met Brad before the rehearsal, but by 10 minutes into the grooms dinner he was waving to me across the room to take goofy paparazzi pictures of him feeding broccoli to Brianna.
Weather couldn’t have been much better for taking pictures. We started the morning with the girls getting ready at a very neat bluff-side lodge in Frontenac , WI with a beautiful view of river where it splits into dozens of dark blue and mossy green paths around islands scattered throughout the main waterway.
I think the thing that stuck out the most during the day was how much Brad liked kissing Brianna! It didn’t take any prompting for them to kiss for a posed shot… and their were plenty of candids of them kissing too. Its always fun two see people who are more focused on each other than on the chaos going on around them…
It was also really neat how much of their lives and passions were visible on their wedding day. Both of them are teachers (at the same school) and they did a lot to include their (school) kids throughout their day. During the ceremony all the kids were given bells to ring right before she walked down the isle… and artwork and handiwork were present all over the reception. They also took time out of their dance to come and take an individual photo with any kids that wanted them (which was a lot!)
Overall – tons of fun : ) I don’t think that two days and 16hrs of photography could go any faster!!
P.S. I had a really hard time only posting the following these pictures… Sorry for the huge post!
