I think I fell in love with Spring and with weddings all over again this weekend. I have been looking forward to May for many months now. I couldn’t wait for the start of wedding season and for Spring. This weekend I was reminded just why I love photographing weddings. Every love story is different, and every couple is unique. I love to let their personalities show.
This weekend it was a cold and rainy Spring day, but that didn’t stop Julie and Mark from having the fairy tale wedding of their dreams. They braved the elements and still rode in their Cinderella like pumpkin coach. And later we took photos and one of my new favorite photos spots, Lake Katherine in Palos Heights! Where the sun came out for a few moments to shine upon the Prince and Princess. I am editing through all the photos now and will post them shortly. I wanted to post one photo. It was one of the first photos I took of the day, before even stepping into the church or before meeting the bride and groom. There was something about the small detail that I knew we were going to have a magical day full of love and happiness, despite the rain clouds.
This image still makes me smile. It makes me think of my childhood home, we used to have two Apple trees in our backyard. (One was an apple with white blossoms and the other was a crabapple with pink blossoms) I was lucky to have my bedroom window nearest the trees, and in the Spring my bedroom would fill with the sweet smell of Apple Blossoms carried in by the cool Spring breeze.

[...] Park, as I waited for the guys to arrive I took photos of the details (like the apple blossom in previous post). The programs were beautiful. I loved the design! And the colors what a great coral/orange color. [...]
