You may remember Corey & Brian from their winter engagement session (you can see that HERE). It was cold and freezing and snow covered. Their wedding day was the exact opposite! It was bright and sunny and full of color!

My second shooter Sami and I met up at the Michigan Shores Club in Wilmette a little early so we could scout the area. We walked down the hill to the beach along Lake Michigan and I instantly fell in love. It was a bright blue sky day and all along the beach were colorful canoes lined up. It was color overload!! I couldn’t wait to my couple down there!!

After a first look we took the wedding party to a nearby park and then down to the beach for photos. On the walk back the sun was so beautifully lighting the stairs I had to stop them for some additional shots.

They had a beautiful ceremony inside the club which was then transformed into part of the reception room while guests enjoyed cocktail hour. There were some great hearfelt toasts before Corey & Brian busted out their choreographed first dance! When we left the dance floor was still packed!

Congrats again to Corey, Brian and your family and friends for letting us capture your day!
