Sara + Jack 07.08.06

Love, lots and lots of it! There was so much love between these two, their family and their friends. You couldn't help but tell how much everyone loved these two. If I could really ask for one thing at a wedding it would be for the love to show... becuase the camera does see it.

Do not blink or you will miss Wilno. I did. But fortunately I left in enough time to still get there on time. Sara told me I couldn't miss the church, it was the only one. Really though she failed to tell me I could miss the town. I just had to laugh, because I didn't think the blink thing would ever be true.

At the church we did the formals very quickly and tucked away and waited until the start of the ceremony. The flowers by Main Street Florist in Hendricks were lovely. And their custom designed programs showed how a simple clean layout can look so lovely. I did get to sneak Sara off to this little area with incredible light while we waited. I think these two just have fab light following them, there e-shoot was the same way.

After the ceremony we left with the bridal party to take some fun images on the way to the reception. It was a bright sunny day and the sky was as blue and clear as could be. The wind turbine of MN served as our backdrop, along with their Camero SS

as a prop. Love this car! Panty dropper indeed.

The reception was at the Swiftel Center. This was the first time I have photographed a reception at the Swiftel Center. I was pleasantly surprise that this typically sterile room was transformed into a lovely reception site. The light was beautiful once again. And Sara being the smart woman she is took my Wedding Tip #1 and put the head table in the center of the room. They had all the details perfect... small cute little floral arrangements on each table to go with the tall center pieces which create an opportunity for guests to see and talk to each other. A kids station with crayons, coloring pages and a word search. A candy station, complete with candy necklaces, hard candy sticks and rock candy, The big and little kids alike both loved this!

It was wonderful! The speeches were amazing. Both families share and show so much love for each other and their children. It just radiated throughout the room. These two have wonderful role models and they knew it and appreciated it. I can't wait to work/play with these people again next year!

Sara and Jack you two are amazing, thank you so much for making me feel so welcome and allowing me to share your day. I'm looking forward to your bridal session! In the meantime here is a brief view of your day.
