“I got lost in him and its the kind of lost that is exactly like being found.” -Claire LaZebnik

I think its safe to say we all got lost in the magic of Rose and Vincenzo’s gorgeous fairytale wedding at Abbey Farms, and on this chilly afternoon in March I find myself lost in thought about that beautiful, warm August afternoon at Pottawatomie Park Pavilion.

One of the best things about their wedding was utilizing all the beautiful locations that were around us. We started the day off at The Herrington Hotel in Geneva. The hustle and bustle of everyone rushing around to get ready before the ceremony is always a fun thing to watch and photograph. Rose had every last detail arranged down to having adorable matching robes for her and her bridesmaids! Rose and Vincenzo had opted out of having a first look so we were headed to the ceremony where he would see his bride for the first time walking down the aisle.

The ceremony was filled with family and friends from all over the world. Lots of relatives from Italy were able to make it to the big day. It was a elegant ceremony overlooking the lake, you could not have asked for a nicer setting. They had a surprise dove release at the end of their ceremony that really added something special to the day. There is something so enchanting about white doves being released followed by your first kiss as husband and wife. It was definitely a first for me and something I will never forget!

Their bridal party was friends and family who were full of life! They had me laughing from beginning to end, you could just tell the people they chose to stand up with them loved them well and were beyond excited to celebrate and ready to party!

My time spent alone with Rose and Vincenzo back at The Herrington was probably my favorite part. They didn’t need much posing, it was fun to step back and just capture the undying love they felt for one another. Stolen kisses, lots of laughter, and perfect light make for one happy photographer!

We were off to our final destination, The Emporium at Abbey Farms and pulled into the parking lot right about sunset. Another win for this incredible day filled with the most perfect light! You can never have enough photos of a beautiful bride and handsome groom at sunset right? I am always in to play with the sun as its setting for the day. The details inside the barn were timeless, the energy in the room was excitement and joy and it was most definitely time to get the party started! Engaging, hilarious toasts followed by dances filled with love and emotion made for a perfect way to end this wedding. We could not be more happy for the Rose and Vincenzo and are beyond thrilled we got to spend this magical day with you!

 

With love,
