betsy & tom. the day-after session.

these two have so much love between them that they thought it would fun to get back into their wedding clothes and make some more magic happen. 🙂

even though they say it’s “good luck” to have it rain on your wedding day, it makes it a bit tricky to get images outside. so even with the rain, i said it before, and  i’ll say it again, betsy & tom honestly handled the stormy weather like champs on their wedding day. even though we were able to get some fun images outside, i think that both robbie, myself and betsy & tom knew that there was just a little something more that we had in us to create something special. so when the sun came out a few days later, they got dressed back up in their fancy clothes and it was “game time”. the images below are the result of our day with them.

these images make us happy and giddy.

having a “day-after” session is really such a fun way to showcase YOU GUYS (our amazing couples) without the craziness of the actual wedding day, the bridal party hanging around and just the general, albeit even small amount, of stress that the day can bring. plus, it’s a fun excuse to get back into your dress and get some happy images taken.

b. & t. lots of love and happy smiles…and you guys are cute.

**OH…we have some GREAT NEWS to share with you guys too!! the super stylish, all things bridal, fun, quirky & MIDWEST (represent!) WEDDING BLOG a northwoods wedding featured this session…our first feature YAY! so go check it out and leave some love.

betsy & tom. the wedding.

betsy & tom. and their wedding that was in the woods.

i’ll be honest, i’m a little lost for words with this post.

everything about this whole day was amazing (except for the rain, but they handled that like CHAMPS.) it felt like we had walked onto a movie set. FOR REAL. the amount of style and detail that was put into everything was simply something we’d never seen before. the dress, the shoes, the flowers, the initals carved into an old oak tree, the location, the streamers of fabric, the burlap, the vintage EVERYTHING, the grey suits. it was all delicious eye candy.

we also can’t say enough wonderful things about betsy, tom, both of their families and friends. it was just like being with old friends we’ve known forever.

betsy & tom…we thank you from the very bottom of hearts. we’ve loved getting to know you guys and laugh with you both. the sky is the limit for how much you love each other, and we’re just happy to bring our cameras along to capture the important parts.

:here is the amazing team that helped make the day:

                             planning: tonya & ashlee w/ circle city planners                  design: jackie lines w/ shambora studios

                                                                         flowers: tiffany w/ circle city planners                                    videography: john & jennifer moon w/ northern lights filmworks

make-up: eyeMAX by kiralee                                                    hair: david & mary salon
