I can hardly believe summer is coming to a close. It was an absolute whirlwind for us, and I don’t think that’s going to stop until the end of the year!
We have been a part of so many memorable events this year, and, I have to say, Bradley and Lindsay’s is definitely one that I will not forget any time soon. First of all, they were fantastic to work with right from the start. They had so many fun ideas for their engagement session, and we loved the results of their wintery Starved Rock session, even though we all had to brave freezing temperatures to make it happen!
Apparently, extreme weather is just in the cards for these two. But, I think we have to thank the extreme weather for making Lindsay and Brad’s First Meeting one we will never forget. The original plan was for them to meet out on the docks at the IVY club, right on the river, and we were all very excited about it. But, right as we pulled up, horrible, ominous black clouds rolled in, the wind started whipping up tornadoes of dust, and there was no denying an intense storm was about to happen. I learned long ago, as much as I wish I could (I think it would be my super-power of choice), I cannot control the weather, but I’m always in a position of having to deal with it anyway. So, Todd and I grabbed our biggest, best umbrellas out of the car, and sent Lindsay out to what was hopefully the driest outdoor spot on the grounds to wait for Brad. It was pouring. Cats and dogs pouring. But the second they saw each other, you would have never known. I’m sure they will never forget it either.
The rest of the day was thankfully much drier! They enjoyed a beautiful ceremony and a lively reception all at Weaver Ridge Golf Club. The two maids of honor gave fantastic speeches, and we were so fortunate to have Jason (our new cinematographer- see post below) there to capture it for them.
Congratulations to Bradley and Lindsay! Thanks for being such good sports about the weather, and for including us in your day!
