I can’t show you anything from Laura’s bridal session yesterday (can’t trust that Brian won’t take a peek!)  Let’s just say Laura was very brave for going out during the threat of thunderstorms, and also very smart for bringing a bright white sheet perfectly sized to fit under her dress without showing – great protection for the bottom of her dress!

I’m leaving for Chicago shortly – I’ll be back next Wednesday, just in time for my three wedding weekend in June.  More on that later…Have a great weekend!

I just received a copy of the Fall/Winter issue of The Knot, featuring Tricia and Jon’s wedding from last October.  Looks nice!

On a side note, I’m leaving for Washington, D.C. today for the weekend.  If you need me I’ll be back Tuesday!

Forest Park was a disaster on Saturday.  Apparently there were graduations and events going on all morning, and hundreds of people trying to go to the zoo.  That meant insane traffic moving through the park – it took us easily 35 minutes to get to the Jewel Box from the park entrance.  Poor Angela must have been biting her nails in her brother’s car as they sat in traffic (and sped ahead of traffic, waiving her veil out the window as proof that she was important!)  Fortunately most of the guests made it in time for the ceremony, which was beautiful set against the lush trees.  We had to be a bit creative on where to shoot portraits after that, having to avoid areas like the World’s Fair Pavilion and being scared off by 5 other wedding parties at the Muny.  Good thing Angela and Tyler are very flexible and relaxed!

After a few photo stops, we were off to the reception at Hendri’s, where the kids ruled the dance floor.  You can view the SLIDESHOW HERE.  Thanks to Katy for second shooting with me.  I hope Angela and Tyler honor their promise not to check email or cell phones while they are honeymooning in the Dominican Republic!
