Last weekend Grant and I had the pleasure of photographing Jeff and Jill’s wedding. The day began with sheets of rain falling from the sky, but as I stepped into the salon from the rain, Jill greeted me with a big smile on her face. No bad weather was stopping her from enjoying her wedding day! All morning she chatted and laughed with her bridesmaids, complimented the flower girls on their newly curled hair, and excitedly told me about her surprise for Jeff– a Notre Dame ice sculpture at the reception. Both she and Jeff stayed relaxed and content all day, happy to be spending such an important day celebrating with family and friends.

I love this image of Jill just after getting her dress on and smoothed out. Jill, you were a beautiful bride!

Waiting…

Moments before walking down the aisle…

The reception was held at the beautiful Hawk Hollow golf course.

Grant’s favorite:

Jeff and Jill had mini wine bottles from this winery placed at each [adult!] place setting. They used pictures from their engagement session at Notre Dame on the custom labels.

I love this picture from the first dance:

…and the other first dance… (this couple stayed on the dance floor all night long!)

Jeff’s dance with his mom was one of the most fun mother/son dances we’ve ever witnessed– they danced a polka and then invited everyone to join in halfway through the song!

The ice sculpture:

Jeff and Jill, thanks so much for inviting us to spend the day with you, your friends, and family. We truly enjoyed capturing such a fun celebration. Hope you had fun in Vegas!
