Last Saturday I had the awesome chance to document Michelle & Mike’s Wedding day at Hessenland Country Inn.  Even though the day ended up with spurts of rain, that didn’t stop us from having a fun time during the photo’s!  Thanks again you guys, hope your enjoying your honeymoon up in Algonquin!…and for now a few from your fab day!

Michelle..you rock!

 

Ok Mike apparently loves Breakfast Club… check the pose out on the left! Totally the John Bender move at the end of the movie! Love it!

Sorry…that’s all for now!!

I love the effect that this gives to each pic – some more depth and life!! Don’t get me wrong – love natural ambient light too, but this is way kool.  May take a few extra steps but think its sooo worth it. 

 

 

 This is my fav! What do you think!!!
