One of the things that I love about Alicia and Todd is that they share so many hobbies and passions together. (It reminds me of Ben and me and yes one of those is photograph for us hehe!) They love to run and bike together and so they included their personalities into their day. One of my favorites was the fun bike cake topper with their names! We also had to get a photo of them with their running shoes. The French House made for a wonderful wedding and reception setting. After announcements and as everyone was eating, we stole the bride and groom away for a few photos. We used the formal garden and even the not so formal garden – the tall grasses. These are my favorites because were able to let them relax together and have a minute! During the reception I loved watching the couple play their version of the newlyweds games – the shoelyweds! When Brandon the DJ asked who spent the most money they both held up her white shoes and everyone started cracking up! Overall the wedding day was a wonderful day and we are so glad that the couple invited us to be there! They are such a great couple and we hope they are having a great honeymoon. A special thanks also goes out to all of the wonderful vendors who did an amazing job!

Saturday was a beautiful crisp fall day–perfect for a fall themed wedding. We started photographing the girls at their beautiful church, Mt. Washington Presbyterian Church. Fassler Florist did a great job with the floral designs. They even hand sculpted rose petals into little buds for the corsages for a really unique touch. During the ceremony the officant was doing a great job with the ceremony. When it came time to do the vows, he turned to Lindsay (after PJ recited his vows) and asked Lindsey to repeat … “I Patrick” and so there were a few giggles until he corrected himself. It was a great moment because it broke some of the nervousness and made it real and fun. I love moments like that! After the ceremony we took some great photos of the couple at their church and then went to Woodland Mound Park. The park was just beautiful with so much fall foliage! I just love how the couple could relax and enjoy some fun together at the park. The reception was at the beautiful Norlyn Manor in Batavia. The reception was a hoot! Jason and Bill from Hey Mr. Dj had some great ways to get the party going. For an extra special treat the couple tons of little desserts made by Servatiis to go along with their cake. I want to say a big thank you to the great videographers from Jeff Hill’s team. We really enjoyed working with them. Lindsay and PJ – thanks for making the day so much fun – we hope you are having a wonderful honeymoon!

 
PJ gave Lindsay a great wedding day gift. He had saved all of their notes, ticket stubs and photos throughout the years and made a special scrapbook. What a great gift! 

Isn’t their church beautiful? We took this one in the hallway. I was drawn to this area because of how bright the hallway was.
