On the morning of her wedding I met Joanna at her parent’s house for preparation photos before the ceremony. The girls were all excitedly getting ready for the big day ahead and offered to help me with the photos in any way they could. They were so sweet! We had a room filled with perfectly filtered bright light where I did all of her detail photos as well as some candids of Joanna getting into her dress and jewelry with help from her girls. She was ready with time to spare which I loved because we were able to get some photos of the gorgeous girls together in that beautiful bright light before we left for the ceremony. We met up with the guys at Saint Catherine’s Of Genoa Church for Joanna and Todd’s ceremony and then it was off to the Warren Center for their reception. Even though it was a rainy day we were able to get some beautiful images of Joanna and Todd together in natural lighting with help from our trusty clear umbrellas! Getting a little wet was totally worth the memories that these two now have to share and to look back on for years to come, don’t you think? I had a wonderful time with you, Joanna and Todd, and I can’t thank you enough for inviting me to capture your beautiful wedding day for you.
