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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
