I can't imagine ending my 2009 season any better than I did with Chiara and Jordan's Milwaukee wedding. While this late December Sunday was bitter cold on the outside, it was all kinds of warm and fuzzy inside. I started my day at Saint Catherine's, a rather large "hidden gem" of a church at the corner of 51st and Center Street. When I walked into the nave, one word came to mind; "Grand". The facing stained glass rose windows and Poinsettias filling the alter provided a wonderful touch of holiday majesty for this beautiful little wedding. The ceremony was absolutely gorgeous.
I've covered a lot of weddings filled with all kinds of love, but Chiara and Jordan may take the reigns. I don't think I've ever seen a groom's face light up so much as he watched his bride walk down the aisle. It was literally a perfect moment. Then they completely lost themselves within each other during their first dance. Again, it was simply a perfect moment.
As a departure from my spontaneous outdoor portrait photography (yes, we tried the outdoors, but holy Jack Frost), we took it indoors and got a little "Envogue". Joey B's is loaded with all sorts of dramatic lighting for fashion inspired portraits. We actually held a little portrait competition, Groomsmen vs. Bridesmaids, and they totally killed it. Thanks for humoring my little endeavor. LOL
As with all of the weddings I shoot, I felt like an invited guest amongst a wonderfully warm group of family and friends; not a wedding photographer for hire. For this reason alone, I absolutely love this career. :)
Much love, many blessings, and happy new year to all,
