Stephanie and Chris: Married May 30, 2009

Posted on August 17, 2009

OSHKOSH, Wis: Let’s travel back in time, shall we? It’s hard for me to remember a day when we weren’t living on little sleep, keeping track of dirty diapers, and enjoying every moment of our life as a family of three. But back on May 30th, AJ hadn’t yet made his grand entrance into the world. Instead, I was sporting a gigantic baby belly:

Since that belly (and the swollen ankles and feet that accompanied it) made it hard for me to get around that late in pregnancy, Karl shot Stephanie and Chris’s wedding without me. Our good friend Heidi Selch agreed to join our team for the summer while I took a brief maternity leave.

Needless to say it’s a little hard for me to blog a wedding I wasn’t a part of, but I still want to share some of the images that stood out to me.

Stephanie and Chris chose to see each other before the ceremony and get all of their portraits out of the way. This is a great idea for any of you working on the time line for your day. We can arrange a “first look” moment for the bride and groom so the moment you see each other is special and private. And I can promise it doesn’t take any of the excitement out of walking down the aisle.

Here are some images captured during Stephanie and Chris’s first look:
