As I relived this glorious wedding day at The Haight in downtown Elgin, IL, I cannot help but remember the steam that was literally rising off the pavement as we parked our car and began to settle our gear. It was one of those days where our lenses would fog if we went back and forth between outdoors and the air conditioning. If you are a fellow Wedding Photog, I know you get what we mean. But, despite the intense heat, I cannot help but smile as I remember this beautiful bride. Erin is as lovely as they come. Like one of those brides who you can’t help but need to pinch yourself because they chose you. She was joyful, calm, and filled with love for every human who was a part of this beautiful day. And her fireman, Ryan was equally as lovely! It was such a treat to personalize their portraits with a stop at the old Elgin Fire Station. These two were surrounded by pure love, celebration, and laughter from begging to end. We are over the moon for these two and their day. And we’ve found a new local venue to whom we cannot sing higher praise. Thank you to the lovely staff at The Haight for making it such a pleasure as well! Erin & Ryan, you two are incredible and we hope your lifetime is filled with as much fun as your wedding day!
