SNOWY WINTER WEDDING AT SALVATORE'S ITALIAN GARDENS

Happy Monday! Welcome to Keith and Dana's wintery January wedding at Salvatore's Italian Gardens!

This wedding was so exciting! Keith and Dana really wanted snow. Well, they got it! It was windy and snowy all day. We started off photos at the Charles Burchfield Nature and Art Center. It was defintely a winter wonderland there. We got some amazing images there (which we will show very soon)!

Then on to Salvatore's for the reception. Keith and Dana had an amazing reception and party. It was hard to take them away from the dance floor. But, we had to do one last photo shoot to end the night. The snow was coming down again. Thank goodness it wasn't as windy. But, all we needed was the open parking lot and lighting!

We could not think of a better way to end the night. Funny story... There was another wedding going on at Salvatore's. When we headed outside, we were in the other weddings territory but it was at the end of the night so there weren't that many people left. There were some guests outside smoking cigars. They were not expecting what we did for Keith and Dana. We had them out in the parking lot with the snow just coming down everywhere. Then came the comments from the peanut gallery. We heard a, "I hope it was worth it. Probably not!" Well, it was so worth it, that we had to stop and show the audience a little sneak peak of the image from the back of the camera. The response was completely different this time. They were shocked! Let's just say we left feeling really good! 

Congrats to Keith and Dana! Amazing wedding with an amazing crew to work with! Much more to come!

STUNNING BRIDE AT SALVATORE'S

Take a look at Sarina! I love everything about her in this image!

Sarina and Dave had their wedding at Salvatore’s Italian Gardens. She got ready at the Garden Place Hotel.  We took her around for some solo photos before the ceremony. Her dress had so much detail, we wanted to get some great images showing it off. The staircase was perfect for this.

Sarina needed no help posing here! She looked stunning! She knew exactly what we were going for. She popped that booty right out to create this beautiful pose.

We added a little extra light to bring out more of the detail in her dress. It helped to give her a little extra shimmer! Then with a little turn of the head, we got a nice side profile of her face. Just enough to be mysterious!

ROCK THE BOAT

This is something you do not see everyday at a wedding reception!

Kristen and Mike got married in July of 2011. Their reception was at Salvatore’s Italian Gardens. They were such a fun and silly couple to photography. After the ceremony at Our Lady of Victory Basilica, we went to a private residence for their photos. We laughed and had such a blast the entire time. We knew the reception was going to be awesome!

They had a packed dance floor! Then all of a sudden everyone cleared out and Mike took a seat on the dance floor. Out of nowhere, an entire crowd of people sat behind him in a line. We had no idea what was going on. Then the song “Rock the Boat” came on. The line of people raised their hands and started dancing. It was hysterical.

Kristen came up to us and said this happens at all of Mike’s family weddings! She knew at some point this was going to happen!
