It was time for my Starved Rock wedding and I have been waiting on this for awhile. A beautiful tree, breakdancing and alpacas! Check it out!!!
Erin hanging her dress for me to photograph…
Her dad arrives…
Erin’s mother gets choked up when she started getting ready!
Amanda got this shot of Mike getting ready. He got ready fast and headed out the door for their first meeting!
Me and Erin left for the first meeting
and she drove! I loved it.
I have to say…one of the most amazing first meeting spots EVER.
Come on. Seriously?!?! So cool…
And then we started shooting around the parks…
Mike is a fifth generation farmer in Minnesota. We had to give some props to MN!
And then we arrived at the Alpaca farm. The owners were so nice to let us shoot there!
Crazy looking things. Ha!
Erin spotted a bike and asked if she could jump on!
Some downtown Utica shots…
Mike’s mother gets a shot when we arrive for family pictures…
Amanda got this. I am not sure WHAT is going on here but its cool.
The ring bearer tried to get a nap in before he posed for family shots.
The bugs were out in full force.
The wedding party…
And the ceremony begins…
I love this one!
Mike watches Erin and her father…
Mike’s father gets choked up!
This tree is perfect. PERFECT.
Erin’s sister.
And they did it!
Everyone!!!
Her mom gets a congratulation hug!
Drool!
And then we headed to the reception…
Some speeches…
Tears…
More tears…
And some attitude!
And then a rap song…
Their first dance…
Erin and her father…
Mike’s parents hit the dance floor!
Some dancing!
They had some props along with a great photo booth!
And then the Chicago Tribe Crew showed up and showed everyone how to breakdance.
A quick shot with the Tribe and the bride and groom!
Yes, there were even fireworks!
Finally, the ring shot. Tanner’s is the place where they met.
Thanks so much for letting me join the party! It was great.
