For this post, I decided to show a bit more of the “photojournalistic” side of how we shoot weddings – I know I typically like to post up all the romantic together couple shots, but Mark and Genifer’s wedding just lent itself so well to stealth shooting as this was such a close-knit group, with joy, laughter…and balloons, weaving around the newly emerged grape vines. The Mackinaw Valley Vineyard was once again fantastic – so much work has been done here over the winter, making it a truly unique venue for both ceremonies and receptions. Something about it is just always so peaceful – truly a gorgeous backdrop for a truly gorgeous day. After Mark and Genifer exchanged their self-written vows, guests were each given balloons to release into the blue Illinois sky. The light was dipping below the horizon quickly, but we still had time to get some beautiful images of this beautiful couple before heading over to The Den at Fox Creek in Bloomington for the reception. And these two win the prize for most fun bouquet and garter tosses.
Mark and Genifer – it was a privilege to be a part of your day, best wishes for your future as Mr. and Mrs.
