Jillian and Brendan

Yesterday I had the privaledge of photographing the wedding of Jillian and Brendan along with all their family and friends. This was a love that started in 8th grade!! So needless to say it was a long awaited day filled with anticipation, laughter and a few tears! It was truly a celebration! The dance floor was packed from start to finish with the help of David from Sounds Abound at the beautiful Riverside Receptions.

Jillian's long anticipated arrival ;)

party time!

No wedding would be complete without a round of deer hunter!

Thanks again for the wonderful time! Have fun in Hawaii!!!

Erica and Brian

Yesterday I headed off to the Patrick Haley Mansion in Joliet to shoot Erica and Brian's beautiful wedding! The rain held off and everything turned out perfect! Great vendors providing all the details and coverage including the Rose Cottage and Lexoria Wedding Films who were great to work with! Lots of pictures to show :)

We started off at Erica's where she had her make-up applied by the talented (and fun!) Sonia Roselli.

Then off to the mansion to get dressed, I love to find quirky moments like this :)

Got all the bridesmaids in this shot, look close and you can see Nancy's eye through Tina's hand :)

The reaction every bride wants...

Finally Brian gets to see his beautiful bride!

The weather for the ceremony turned out perfect despite the looming clouds.

Thank you so much for including me in this all star cast to bring all your hard work together ending in a day we will all remember fondly :)

Best,

Kristina

Oliver

This week I headed off to Portland, OR to visit Oliver! The three year old son of my best friend Lauren and it was a blast! Oliver showed me all around Portland. We took the train, walked around, had some gelato, and went to the park. All in all, a very good trip! :)

Can't wait to come back!
