Not sure where to start this one…. sit back it could be a long post…..

Jackie and I met in college at IU where we played club volleyball together. We’ve spent many long hours on car rides and in the gym together over the years. There also may or may not have been a little partying mixed in there 🙂 It was college after all…

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Mark since our IU days as well as he was dating Jackie. The two of them are simply two of the greatest people I know. They are a blast to be around, kind hearted and most importantly perfect for each other.

I felt truly honored to be able to photograph their wedding and share a part of their day. Thank you to Jackie, Mark and both of your families.

Here are some of my favorites (ok alot of my favorites) from their wedding. Congrats you two!

 

Ok – I might have been a little obsessed with these shoes, but can you blame me?! And paired with her mother’s pearls = perfection 🙂

Meanwhile… over in Mark’s room ….

I headed out with the guys for some pictures around the Allerton

We might have gotten a little distracted and ended up at the bar down the street…. oops…

Then it was back to the hotel to check in on the ladies 🙂

PS – this shot below is one of my all time favorite bridal shots

And we were off to the GORGEOUS Holy Name Cathedral for the wedding ceremony

And then it was off to the Nature Boardwalk and the Belmont Harbor on the way to the reception!

We arrived at Misericordia for the reception… but first a stop in their gorgeous garden outside

Reception time! Mark’s brother Craig lives at Misericordia and was nice enough to allow all the guests to invade his home:) The entire staff was amazing, and considering how many weddings I’ve attended that’s a big compliment. They were one of, if not the best, most friendly staff I’ve ever encountered at a wedding reception.

I couldn’t resist posting this volleyball reunion pic! Jackie, Bridget, Laura and Me!

And finally time for a sparkler exit to end the evening!
