I have been waiting SO LONG for Vanessa and J.Greg’s wedding!  And it was TOTALLY worth the wait!!

Vanessa and J.Greg were married at St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church in Wauwatosa, WI (Vanessa’s hometown).  Their beautiful barn reception was held at Old World Wisconsin, where the mosquitoes apparently mean business (we had bites where no one should EVER be bitten!!)

Vanessa is a wonderful harpist who loves yoga and her doggies, and her husband J.Greg just won a gig with The United States Army Field Band….he’s an awesome horn player.

Here are some of my favorite moments from their day:

J.Greg arranged (for the organ) the Langsam of Mahler’s Third Symphony for Vanessa’s processional.  It made it so meaningful and gave me goosebumps when I saw her appear in the doorway with her father!  You can hear the Langsam here.

Thank you to Vanessa and J.Greg for inviting us to Wisconsin to photograph your wedding.  It was SO AWESOME meeting all of your family and friends….and it was an *honor* for us to be there.  Love you both!!!!

What a lovely day it was for Melinda and Ryan’s wedding.  The summer sky perfectly matched the light turquoise bridesmaid dresses.  They were married at St. Alphonsus in Springdale.   Their beautiful and incredibly detailed reception was held at the Syria Mosque in Cheswick.  Here are a few of my favorite shots from the day:
