Young Love

Lindsey and Daniel are one of the cutest couples we’ve had this year. We met them last year and were at once struck with how precious they are, and how sweet their love for each other is. We did their engagement photos last summer at the gardens at SIUE, and it was so fun to see Daniel wrap his big, strong arms around Lindsey’s tiny, delicate frame! She is so adorably petite! It was obvious then that they were so in love.

Fast forward to this year, and that bubbly excitement is still in their eyes, and you just know they can’t wait to be married. We met up with them at Pere Marquette, which is absolutely stunning this time of year! Everyone was calm and just enjoying every moment of the day as they prepared for the ceremony, which was held inside the lodge in front of the fireplace. It was a sweet ceremony just like them, and sure the flower girl kind of freaked out a bit – but my policy is that flower girls and ring bearers are always cute at the wedding no matter what!

After the ceremony we headed up into the park to capture some of the beautiful fall colors. At our first stop Joel manged to loose our car keys in the space of time it took him to walk from the driver’s side to the passenger side of the car! But thanks to the help of one of the guys we found them, lying right there on the leaf-strewn ground (we think he went to put them in his pocket or bag and missed). That was our only drama, and we ended up getting some awesome shots of the newlyweds.

The reception was also held at the lodge, and was simply lovely. The food was delicious, and the setting perfect for an intimate party. As usual I cried during the father daughter dance. It is always so precious watching the dads and daughters getting emotional and having that moment! We loved getting to be a part of such a special day for two special people!

Congratulations Lindsey and Daniel!
