When I first met Tiffany and Jon at my office for our initial meeting, I just knew their wedding was going to be a special treat to photograph. This couple loves the outdoors and originally even wanted to get married in Colorado, but logistically decided it would be better to stay local. They decided on Fishermen’s Inn in Elburn, Illinois because it was local and had everything they were looking for. The beautiful indoor ceremony location would be terrific in case of one of those rainy, cold October days that can happen and the outdoor grounds were perfect to capture their love of nature and the outdoors. It was pretty much the perfect fall day. The ceremony was at 3:00 in the afternoon and Tiffany walked down the flower-covered aisle wearing a headband made from her Mother’s gown along with her mother’s earrings. Her gown was custom-tailored a little off-the-shoulder to fit her perfectly. Jon wore a dark blue suit and the biggest smile as Tiffany walked arm and arm with her father to her very near future husband.
I had photographed their engagement session last winter on a bone-chillingly frigid day and they did beautifully, so I knew they were pros when it came to being comfortable together in front of a camera. Tiffany was looking forward to a fall sunset, so I worked closely with the terrific staff at Fishermen’s Inn to coordinate a quiet moment for them exactly at 5:15 (when the sun was setting) so we could capture that beautiful light and quiet moment just for the two of them.
Details included a late night popcorn bar, a photo booth, and sunflowers. So fun. The couple are both giant football fans, too, so he had a Steelers cake and she kept up with the Colts game throughout the night. Favorite moment, the surprise choreographed dance her and her Father did as their first dance. LOVED IT!!
