Meet Amy and Joe!! I first met them last fall after a recommendation from my wedding planner friend, Tami Hacker of Creatively Yours. We were all excited to get this wedding on the books at a gorgeous facility in Spring Grove, Illinois. Come May of this year, the trees started to bud, birds started to chirp and we all got excited for the big day to come! May 18th, 2013 was a gorgeous sunny, 85 degree day. We had plenty of time for pictures in between the ceremony and the reception, so this made for a very happy photographer 🙂 The grounds at The Shores of Turtle Creek are absolutely gorgeous, so much to choose from! I first took Amy and Joe off by themselves for about a hour, and captured the relationship between them. Then we called out the rest of the bridal party and had a little fun. Cocktail hour was next and the drinks were flowing and the food was AMAZING! Dinner was then served and toasts were made. After Dinner everyone moved back inside for dancing. The Bride and Groom and entire party broke into a Thriller Dance that was a surprise to all! So much fun was had by all at this wedding! It was pleasure to be part of their special day!
