I didn’t have to go very from home to take this picture, Abbey,  a 2-year-old golden retriever,  strikes a pose as she takes advantage of the beautiful golden sunlight while waiting for her reward.

Jessica wrote about their wedding day experience (in part), “Rich and his son Richie were such a pleasure to work with. In fact, it really did not feel like work, and rather that they were an extension of our friends and family. We are unbelievably thrilled with the photos, and the photo albums that they compiled – we cannot stop reliving the joy and excitement of our wedding day.”  We couldn’t agree more!!!

The accelerated noise levels are clearly visible when I used the camera phone’s electronic zoom function on my iPhone. As I’ve heard it said, “What’s the best camera? It’s the one that’s with you!”

In the town where most of “Groundhog Day” was filmed, Justine and Jonathan started with a traditional church wedding at St. Mary Catholic Church, followed by a stroll in the Woodstock (IL) Town Square. After that there was a trip to the Marengo Ridge Conservation Area, and a final destination of  Donley’s Wild West Town in Union, IL where their reception was held. A perfect couple on a perfect day!
