Engagement session with Stacey and Zack

A few weeks back I had the pleasure of photographing Stacey and and Zack. We went to one of my favorite places, McNair Park in St. Charles. An engagement session is a great way for a photographer and a newly engaged couple to get to know each other. I really enjoyed hearing about Stacey and Zack's story of their relationship. I was amazed to learn that they met in kindergarten! WOW, how cool is that! Their wedding is planned for next August. Congratulations to Stacey and Zack.

Both families are receiving $500 from Millers Professional Imaging. Thank you Millers. I am soooo excited that I was able to produce prize money for a few of my wonderful families! BTW Solea Photography was the only studio to have more than one finalist winner!! Check out these smiling faces.

Congrats to Nicole and Pat

A big congratulation to Nicole and Pat who tied the knot on July 3, 2009. They had an intimate ceremony and reception at the lovely home of Nicole's brother. I love outdoor ceremony and this one was no exception, being on the lake in the backyard. It did start to drizzle a bit but everyone was very laid back and it didn't slow the party down in the slightest bit. Thanks guys! I had a wonderful time. And on a side note, Nicole is one on the teachers for my niece and nephews, Koan, Alethea and Burke. They absolutely LOVE her. (Thanks Nicole for taking care of my babies!) Here are a few of my favs from the wedding. To view a slideshow of highlights from their wedding, visit Solea Photography on Facebook.
