“Do you ever put your arms out and just spin and spin and spin? Well, that’s what love is like. Everything inside of you tells you to stop before you fall, but you just keep going” ~Ho Su

I was fortunate to have the opportunity to have an Engagement Session with Nicole and Patrick back in August (view here), and in September, they had their wedding down in a beautiful log cabin in Tennessee with just a few family and close friends there. Lovely. Once they got back to Chicago, the real party was on, and what you see below are some photos from their Chicago wedding reception. Patrick and Nicole: I wish you all the happiness in the world as you start this journey together!

Bob & Sherri planned a small un-fussy affair for their wedding. Simple and sweet. Their love story is another story… very sweet, and not even close to simple!

It all starts 29 years ago. Bob and Sherri meet, fall madly in love, and get MARRIED. Fast forward 16 years, 3 sons… and they decided to throw in the towel, and divorced. Sherri says she just couldn’t stand the sight of Bob! haha!! But even though their marriage was over, the kids, and their arguments kept a dialogue going… they never got out of each other’s lives, and for some reason, neither moved on to someone new. It took THIRTEEN years, but their hearts slowly softened; they got a little older. Their kids were grown, and they realized it… they were STILL meant to be. So, this is their second marriage… to each other!

I’m just tickled to death about the ways love takes us. May love continue to take you down the path of happiness Bob & Sherri… and may you grow old together with a smile in your hearts and on your faces.

Arriving… and err… leaving?? Not so fast wise guy!

Pretty Bride

Anticipation!!

I love this… Their son, Bobby, walked Sherri down the aisle, and the other two sons, Tony & Nate lit the candles.

And the two shall become “one”

I adore the happiness on Sherri’s face right here… surrounded by the ones she loves the most.

First of all, when I sat down at my house with Ashley and Tony to talk about the wedding, I remember thinking how PERFECT for each other these two were. Really, what a cute couple! I could tell how much that they truly care for each other, and how excited they were to have found one another. In fact, for Tony, it was love at first sight when Ashley first visited the college that he was attending, and he saw her in the cafeteria. Sweet right?? I hope you enjoy the photos, and see the love that is written between the lines… Thank you Tony & Ashley for giving me the opportunity to capture your love on film!
