We have lots of images to share from last weekend’s wedding!! Lindsey and Jon were married last Friday at the gorgeous Indian Pond Country Club. We always love photographing weddings here because there are so many different locations that make for some beautiful settings.
Lindsey and Jon had their ceremony on the beautiful back lawn of the country club overlooking the perfectly manicured rolling hills. They also had a very unique and special part to the ceremony that we had never seen before. Lindsey and Jon both privately wrote a letter to each other before the wedding. They then brought the letters and other special reminders of their relationship to the ceremony and then during the ceremony, they sealed the letters and placed them along with the other special items into a beautiful carved wooden box. They locked the box together and then will open it on their 10th anniversary. It was a time capsule of their relationship! Here are some details that Rene took before the ceremony. It’s the letter that Jon wrote for Lindsey along with a CD containing the song that Jon specifically wrote and sang for her (Jon is in a very talented band!):

Lindsey and Jon also had an incredibly fun wedding party! We had a blast with these guys all day long. The girls all arrived at the country club first so I took advantage of the fact that the boys were not around and we found some great out-of-the way spots for some “formals” (we hate that word!!). It turns out the country club has this little wine cellar/alcove complete with rolling ladder. I have to give a special shout out to Kate McCabe, our bride from July 16, 2005 who specifically called me up to tell me about this little hidden spot which she found on a later trip to the country club for dinner. She knew it would be just the kind of location I’d love to use the next time I was there. And man was she right!

We also had a ton of fun with the guys!! We loosely set up this pose and when the guys really started hamming it up for us, it turned into one of my favorite groomsmen images ever!

And now we get to show off some of our favorite portraits of Lindsey and Jon! A lot of you may already know that one of our favorite parts of the day is the time that we get with just the bride and groom by themselves. It’s when we really get to have fun creatively and capture some gorgeous moments between the two of them. Lindsey and Jon are a really beautiful couple and we knew they were determined to have fun with their session, so here are just a few of our favorites:
First my absolute top fav that I feel like submitting to Calvin Klein for their next ad right now:

Lindsey also has the most incredibly clear blue eyes and Rene was really determined to focus the attention on them for this next image:

That’s the REAL color of her eyes! Gorgeous! Then we decided to sneak outside for a few more portraits after dinner while it was dark out so that we could have some fun with a video light. And here’s what happened!

Lindsey and Jon are in the middle of a two week honeymoon right now! So they won’t even be able to see this sneak peek of their wedding or even the entire website until they come home next week. We can’t wait to see them and hear all about their trip and we definitely can’t wait to show them the rest of their images!
