Tricia & Bob :: August 1, 2009

Tricia and Bob were married at St. Margaret Mary's Catholic Church in Neenah... literally across the street and down the block from my house. Tricia chose the church she grew up in for the ceremony and Bob was able to incorporate his family with the Green Bay Country Club.

The entire day was filled with love, laughter and even tears. It was a great pleasure and honor to have documented their wedding.

As an added bonus, I had Kate Grant as a second shooter. Kate is an associate photographer with Artists' Eyes Photography in Slinger, WI. The image of the fireworks below is one of Kate's images... she did a fantastic job!

I love it when couples chat during the ceremony... if you are a bride to be please never feel like you need to be still and quiet during your ceremony. Let your emotions out... hold hands, talk, wipe your new husband's tears. It not only allows you to enjoy your day but it makes for some amazing photographs!

The Green Bay Country Club was one of the most beautiful places I've photographed this summer.

The covered bridges on the golf course inspired me to try some dramatic lighting techniques. I hate to mention that about 2min before this photo was taken the poor groom had to rush off in a golf course to retrieve a camera that was accidentally left at the prior photo spot. No equipment was harmed or lost in the shooting of this fabulous wedding!

This best man speech was funny... wait - hilarious! It had the entire guest list in stitches. Just look at the groom covering his head with the linens!

Shortly after the first dance... a surprise waited for everyone on the balcony. I didn't even know what was going on! The sky lit up with fireworks... just for the bride and groom. I was able to get this shot of the guests watching the fireworks show, you can see Tricia and Bob on the far left side of the balcony.
