Paul and April get married

April had the most amazing wedding day weather I have ever seen, hands down.  The temperature was perfect, the leaves were turning a nice gold color, and the light, oh the light!  
    
Her roses were simply amazing, and I just loved the pearls she wore.
Matt found this bell in the church courtyard and rocked out this shot! Seriously how creative his my husband, I feel so proud!
 April spent the morning getting ready at the Church of the Cross. 
 When we were ready for pictures we went across the street to this great little park full of trees and wonderful back light. 
Did I mention how much I loved this bouquet, so simple and elegant.
These guys were so much fun!

I don't know why maybe because it is so honest but I just love this shot of April hidding in the coat closet with her father   right before the I do's.


 We took April and Paul to Lincoln Park for some more pictures and remember the perfect light? Well it followed us there, too!

  April looked so amazing and Paul was dashing as always.
 The reception was held at the Presidential and the room was so charming and warm! We decided to play with some off camera flash and had so much fun with these. 

April, Paul, you were such a delight to spend the day with, thank you for letting us share it with you and your family.

Tony and Nikki Tie the Knot.

It was noon when we arrived where Nikki was getting ready and the house was buzzing. Nikki greeted us with a warm smile and that is honestly how the entire day felt, like a big warm smile. Nikki and Tony surrounded themselves with close family and great friends on the day of their wedding. It was a celebration with loads of laughter, lots of tears and heartfelt singing. I mean what else can you expect Tony is Italian and let's admit it Italians do things with a certain style.





Her Guess shoes were adorable!


Mandy Barnes made Nikki look extra fierce with hair and makeup!


Candy apples for fall favors what a wonderful idea! Wonderful job making these Tammy Adams!



They were literally singing to each other through the entire first dance. This girl needed a tissue.

 The light was fabulous at Heatherwoode Golf Club that day.


Matt took this one and it is one of my favorites!









Her flowers were so amazing! They came from the Flowerman! Special thanks to Cynid Garofalo for putting those together!



Mad props for Matt who took the picture of them leaning against the tree.

Special thanks to Curtis Jablonski for a fab job at DJ for the night.




Tony, Nikki you both are so beautiful, you make my heart sing. Thank you for letting us be apart of your "warm smile" of a wedding day.

George and Lisa make photographer cry

Daniel's place, the big blue house where all the 'big' parties happened. Definitely, the place to be and this particular night was no exception. Lisa got a call from a friend who explained Daniel was throwing a party for his younger brother George. George saw Lisa arrive and knew one thing: he had to meet and get to know her. He made his way across the crowded room and they began talking...about, well, everything.
Lisa says George had her in stitches all night with one joke after another. George says he couldn't take his eyes away from Lisa. From that night on, they've been inseparable.



George and Lisa were fierce giving me smyeze (smiling with the eyes) and keeping it cool because lets face it they are pretty cool.


Time with Lisa and George was time I spent laughing--seriously, I was lucky to take any pictures at all. I laughed so hard, I was crying.



  George says he still thinks Lisa is nothing short of amazing; she takes his breath away.
Because I love black and white I had to sneak one in.


Okay so seriously where did this couple come from? They are amazing at working the camera.

 Lisa says George keeps her laughing even when times get hard; he keeps her strong with the laughter and love.


When I found this wall it was heaven, great light and Lisa's favorite color. Okay so one more black and white.
George and Lisa, I had so much fun spending the day with you. George, you had me in stitches and Lisa,
well, you took my breath away. With that I will leave you with this last image from our day.
