Mr. & Mrs. Hromadka

How do I start to describe a day with clients as fun as Dusty and Ali? I guess the beginning would be a good place!

From the first time I met Dusty & Ali in Barnes and Noble we hit it off. I think we were there for almost 2 hours talking about everything under the sun. I would say I think of all of my clients as friends, but there are some couples that you just naturally click with and a beautiful friendship develops. And this is exactly what happened with Dusty and Ali. This is why being a wedding photographer is amazing; attending weddings of clients become friends, and getting to capture every moment of it.

July 3rd was a hot day. Like, I just stepped outside and now I need to take a shower kind of day. But these two handled it with great poise, even through all of the droplets of sweat!

I met Ali while she was getting ready with her bridesmaids, and fell in love with her dress - isn't it so fun?!

I love "getting ready" time. There is so much excitement, nerves, and anticipation in the air...

Brian went over to find the guys... and you know it's going to be a good time with them when you find these directions out!

Dusty and Ali met while working together. They used to throw post-it notes back and forth to each other, here is Dusty writing his wedding day post-it note to Ali :)

Here comes the Bride!

The new Mr. & Mrs. Hromadka!

After their beautiful ceremony we headed to downtown Darlington to the courthouse (fun fact, this courthouse and downtown Darlington were used in the movie Public Enemies, cool beans), to have some fun with the wedding party. By this time everyone was HOT and we were running a little bit behind - but these guys rocked it!

This is what you call a "Dusty Sandwich"

We then stole Dusty & Ali for some photos of just the two of them

First dance

Dusty and Ali. Thank you for inviting us to share in your wedding day. It has been a pleasure getting to know the two of you and walk with you this past year as you become husband and wife :) Cheers!

Married - Sarah & Ryan!

Sarah & Ryan were married on June 26th at Olbrich Botanical Gardens on a beautiful summer morning.

The morning light at Olbrich Gardens was just beautiful where the girls were getting ready:

The bridesmaids wore the really fun shoes on the left - what a cute idea!

Sarah was so excited to put her dress on :)

Sarah wanted the first time her dad to saw her ready to be special - and it was. The moment was beautiful, and I don't think there was a dry eye around anywhere!

Ryan and his guys were looking handsome in their summer suits:

Sarah surprised Ryan with a new a watch... which prompted everyone to show off their watches!

The ceremony site at Olbrich Gardens was just beautiful

Talk about funny! Ryan surprised Sarah with a "sweet" ring, I love the photo in the bottom right!

The new Mr. & Mrs. Brunker!

Their flowers were beautiful!

Sarah and Ryan, thank you so much for the opportunity to capture your wedding day. I have enjoyed getting to know both of you, thanks for all the laughs!
