Spending time with Wendy and her girlfriends as they got ready in a cramped space at the quaint little church in Edwardsville helped me realize just how genuine this girl is. I remember instantly connecting with her at our first ever meeting so long ago, and I felt like I was just one of the girlfriends in that room. I just happened to have a giant camera on my shoulder. All of her bridesmaids were just as delightful, and Wendy seemed completely stress-free and full of bridal glow.
Mike Nichols handled the photography, and he brought a studio back-drop with him to get formal portraits with a studio feel. Pretty cool! Also, he had an assistant with him who focused on journalistic coverage of the day while he took care of staging portraits and other formal shots. They were great to work with!
The reception was held at the American Legion in Edwardsville, and this group had such a great party! I had to hear about it from Brian, as we had another of our videographers relieve me for the reception so I could go home and put my feet up. (8 months pregnant!) But, I know I'll get to enjoy some of the fun as I capture and edit the footage.
So, the baseball season is over - Justin came VERY close to going to the playoffs his rookie year! Now the lovebirds are hitched AND proud new owners of a home. Whew! What a whirlwind! Congratulations to the newlyweds. It was so great getting to know you two and celebrating with you.
