“Joe + Megan capture the first wedding of our 2010 season spot, leading off with their beautiful Spring wedding. Their day fell on an unexpected, but wonderful 70 degree April day. From the moment I arrived at Megan’s home prior to her putting her dress on, the first thing I noticed was Megan glowing with pure happiness. In fact, her smile and the sound of her joyful laugh continued on and was heard through out the day as she greeted each of her guests. Megan and Joe… thank you for choosing us to be a part of your wonderful day! We enjoyed capturing the smiles, laughter and tears as Megan walked down the isle and the numerous celebrant reception smiles of you, your fantastic families and group of friends. We hope you are having a wonderful time on your honeymoon + cruise this week and we will be in touch with the rest of the images after your return. Congratulations!!”

 

Joe + Megan’s Catholic wedding ceremony took place at St. Matthew Catholic Church in Schaumburg and their reception followed at the nearby Chandler’s at the Schaumburg Golf Club. While in route to Joe + Megan’s Schaumburg reception, we found an incredible park in Schaumburg where the willow trees were actually growing along the lawn and horizontally – which was perfect for unique, bridal party and editorial style wedding photos. Enjoy!

 

“We spent a foggy, but awesome, mild weathered March afternoon with the two of the nicest people ever Joe and Megan!! It was fun wandering around capturing their engagement photos at Busse Woods Forest Preserve, the popular nature haven and forest preserve just east of the Woodfield Mall and bustling Schaumburg business area. J+M live near by in a Northwest Chicago suburb and visit this park frequently to hike and bike the number of paths through forests, meadows, and often they canoe and fish the Busse Lake – they are huge outdoors people just like Ryan and I are. : )

 

With their wedding only a few weeks away, Joe + Megan are getting very excited for their April wedding date to arrive. J+M are tying the knot at St. Matthew Catholic Church and their reception is to follow at Chandlers at the Schaumburg Golf Club. To Joe and Megan… we hope you enjoy the variety of photos from the e-session. You guys looked amazing. We loved the soft light during the overcast day shots and the vast icy lake – wow – such a beautiful winter engagement photo spot. Not to mention later, we had some fun moments after dark + fun with lighting for creative photos. Thanks again for treating us to an awesome dinner and all the great conversation in getting to know each other. We can’t wait for your wedding! We’ll see you both very soon.”
