Byron & Michelle's "E" session

Wow. The "E" session with Byron and Michelle is beyond words. 1 part stunning couple, 1 part gorgeous day, a pinch of historic Geneva scenery and you get an "E" session that turned fashion shoot. Love it when it all comes together.

Chris & Kristi "E" session

Dog days of summer, literally. Chris and Kristi brought their two fun dogs on this "E" session. We all ran around the forest preserve having a blast.

What a great day we had with Ryan, Colleen and the entire rest of the families. This is a couple that really made Villa Olivia shine.

Chris & Kailey

We had a great time with Chris & Kailey and their fun new pup. We all romped around the grass and trails and enjoyed the beautiful day. We finished just before the storms rolled in.





Patrick & Diana EXTREME "E" Session

The weather was beautiful, with blue skies, bright fluffy clouds until...

We were in the middle of a big grassy field when the big raindrops started. All we could do was a quick dash to a small 3 ft concrete awning along the side of one of NIU's campus buildings. It was truly simply a small concrete overhang with little protection at all.

After the hail stopped we found out later the wind gusts at nearby Dekalb airport reached 74mph. Take a look at the gigantic tree branch that was ripped off the tree only 20 ft away from us.

What a blast! The rain stopped leaving us all dripping, (the camera's survived, quickly placed in their bags) and I looked at Patrick and Diana and we all just laughed.

We finished another hour of the engagement shoot under a beautiful blue sky. Extreme!

Darwin & Jessica

The whole day was like a grand Broadway production. The reviews are in; it's a big hit! What fun. And... a waterpark between the ceremony and reception. We were all kids again until the house got rocked at Villa Olivia.

Brian & Heather

What a cool venue and great couple. We didn't get a chance at Brian & Heather's wedding on the beach in Florida but we got the wild reception back home here at the On Q club! It was a wild night for all.
