I have been really lucky so far to shoot weddings in great weather. I’ve heard the some bad stories about midwest weather but so far (knock on wood) the days I’ve had weddings to shoot have been ideal, and this past Saturday at Starved Rock State Park, Sarah and Kyle’s wedding was no exception. The ladybugs were out in full force which I told them is good luck. Usually you see one but that day I think there were at least a thousand hanging around so they will have extremely good luck!
Due to the time change and it getting darker earlier on in the day, they opted to see each other before the ceremony and get the bulk of the formal portraits done. For those of you who don’t think I do formal or group portraits, I’m posting some from this wedding to show that I do (preferably outdoors in natural light).
During the reception the guests gathered in a circle for a rendition of “God Bless the USA” in honor of Sarah’s brother who is currently serving in Iraq and couldn’t make it to the wedding.
