We had a humid Fall day at Centennial Park in Munster so the wedding party literally were shiny, happy people in the photo above!! The happy part comes from the good times that the bride, groom and their friends had that day. Ali and John had one fun wedding!!
Things began at their home in Highland where I took each bridesmaid out for a formal picture in front of the house and cool sign the groom placed above their door.
Sure, we have the gorgeous bridesmaid above, but we also had a dog of a bridesmaid as well... :)
Sun rays were streaming in as the wedding dress hung in waiting...
Alison's sister Lauren was the MOH and she provided Starbucks coffee to the bunch as well as helped the bride get her garter in place...
I arrived at Our Lady of Grace Church in Highland ahead of the girls where I immediately began taking formal shots of the groomsmen....
The groom was all smiles while waiting for the Catholic ceremony to begin...
Our Lady of Grace Church is quite a large and beautiful ceremony site. I was able to capture very wide shots as well as close ups like the exchanging of the rings.
A classic wedding photo effect with the bridesmaids in black and white and their flowers in color.
I like to do a collage for every aspect of the wedding day. Here is the ceremony montage I came up with for John and Alison...

Another collage combines a magnet I found on the bride's refrigerator along with make up containers and the bride and groom on the bridege overlooking the Centennial Park waterfront and a formal from inside the church.

More of the shiny, happy people theme as the newlyweds grin ear to ear while walking amongst their guests blowing bubbles...
While awaiting for cocktails to begin at the Centennial Park clubhouse in Munster, the bride and groom took a stroll over to the waterfront bridge for a kiss and of course, a photo opportunity.
The bridesmaids let out a cheer...
Soon John and ali were ready to cut their (delicious) cake with all their friends looking on...
Okay, you can kiss her again...
Soon enough it was time for dancing, with the bride taking her dress for a spin...
The party started right away, no warming up for these folks...
Alison takes a look to see if her bouquet toss is going to hit it's intended target...
