Wedding Dan & Dana {Edwardsville, Il.}

Dan and Dana are up on the blog today!! Their October wedding was at the height of fall when all the leaves were bursting with color!!! We did their "first look" under a magnificent tree!!!









The wedding party was small which made it so nice and intimate!! You will never regret having family and true friends stand up with you!















They look so good together :)


Dana this dress was very well suited for you!

The whole banquet room smelled of fresh flowers. I just can't say enough about them

The wedding and reception took place at The Sunset Hills Country Club in Edwardsville!! What a great place to have it!!! It is so lovely there, the staff was so accommodating and my favorite part is that it is about 15 minutes from my house!!!!! BONUS!!!!



There was something about this picture that makes Dana look very vulnerable here. She looks so hopeful, fresh, young and happy.... maybe a little nervous all in one. There were plenty of pictures of her smiling really big but this one just speaks to me :)









And they were pronounced husband and wife...







The first dances are always tear jerkers for me.....




father/daughter




mother/son



I loved this idea!!!! There were a lot of kids at the reception and instead of doing a bouquet toss and garter toss, the couple threw candy to the kids!!!!






Dan and Dana, I think so much of you both!! I wish you many happy years together!! I know your future children will be able to look back on these images and clearly see the love you have for each other. God bless you :)
