IU was such a gorgeous place to shoot Mary and Patrick’s Wedding. They both are now from Chicago, but went to school and started dating during their time at IU. So, they both booked the Union Hall on campus and had their ceremony in the intimate gardens within the Union walls. The reception was also held in the main ball room inside the Union. I found out that the Union Hall at IU is the largest one in the World… pretty nice lil’ memory for their Wedding Day.
The weather was picture perfect {as you can see} and they met in the gardens prior to starting pictures. I soooo luv it when my clients meet before the ceremony – and here’s why: You both get a chance to love on each other and tell one another how you are feeling in that moment. The other HUGE part of it is that you can hang out all afternoon TOGETHER watching one another {and your Bridal Parties} having fun making memories and capturing amazing images. As a photographer, this gives me so much more time to work with everyone and drastically shrinks the time after the ceremony for pictures… just an idea for future brides.
Walking around campus, seeing the looks on people’s faces as they walked by was priceless. Everyone was so easy to work with and had a ton of energy to do whatever we asked them to… i luv my job!
The Reception was definitely a party! EVERYONE was up on their feet dancing and having a blast. The image of the Mary and Patrick singing to one another is one of my favorites from the day. Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing” was playing and everyone was yelling at the top of their lungs!
Thanks again you 2 for allowing us to capture your Wedding Day! We had an amazing time with everyone!
Enjoy~
