happy birthday sun!

"On this shortest day of the year, the sun is at its lowest and weakest, a pivot point from which the light will grow stronger and brighter. This is the turning point of the year. The romans called it Dies Natalis Invicti Solis, the Birthday of the Unconquered Sun"

it's officially the first day of winter and christmas and new years are right around the corner- how does this always sneak up on me so fast? i have been a bad blogger lately as i have been so busy with holiday sessions and orders. this weekend i had three fun photoshoots and a gorgeous wedding at the drake! i can't wait to start digging through all of them...in the meantime here is a quick pic from my phone. happy winter solstice everyone!

N+J Wedding!

NJ01
Congratulations to Noelle and Jason! These two are adorable together and were a blast to work with! The weather was also quite a pleasure. Who would have thought it would be warm and sunny in late November!? The late afternoon light before the ceremony was amazing and we took full advantage, getting some fun shots of the gorgeous bride. The ceremony ended just before dusk so we raced around the Naper Settlement with the wedding party to nab the last bits of sun and breathtaking sky!

Next it was on to the reception for dinner, dancing, toasts, cake and... a surprise serenade of "Living on a Prayer" by Noelle's youngest nephew- what a riot! I have so many great shots I want to share so stay tuned....a slideshow with many more pics will be posted soon!

I also have to give a shout out to Ben Mahoney Productions who was there on video, always a pleasure to work with and they do a fantastic job - check them out brides :)
