Earlier this year, Tara and Ken went to Chicago with me for their engagement session. As we walked the streets of the windy city, I learned they are fun loving sports fans and are made to be together. I knew their wedding would be a fun one and it was!!
This is just a sneak peek at their ceremony at Deep River Park and the reception at Our Lady of Consolation in Crown Point, Indiana. The wedding took place just last week with many more images to follow at a later date.
The day started at the house of Tara's parents. Just before I helped her Dad with the frustrating task of tying his tie (it's a miracle I got it right), we got this casual shot of the bride and her daughter Zoe.
The dress hung in waiting beneath the family creed in their lovely home...
This is a family that shows their love for each other all the time. Here Tara's Dad gives her a kiss just before driving out to the ceremony. Soon it would be time for mother and daughter to arrive for the ceremony at Deep River as well.
Sisters of the bride were all in a great mood as they arrived to the ceremony site in a stretch limousine with Tara's bouquet of flowers along for the ride as well...

When the bride and her Father walked down the aisle, the heat index had risen dramatically. Judge Judy Cantrell conducted a very brief, but poignant ceremony and soon guests were able to find some shade.
Underneath the Deep River gazebo, our groom Ken reads his vows to his soon to be wife....
One of the nice things about Deep River Park are the many great spots for formal shots all within walking distance....
The morning wedding left time for pictures in the park and a chance for the bride and groom to head home and take in a couple of innings of the Cubs game. Soon it was reception time at Our Lady of Consolation in Crown Point, Indiana.
Here the groom is beaming during the first dance with the starlights of the hall in full glow...

The reception hall was decorated throughout with many balloons. It appears as though our bride Tara is trying to snatch this set of ballons from one of her guest...
The daughter of the bride certainly had fun as she spun away on the dance floor....
Look for many more images coming soon from Tara and Ken's summer wedding. Subscribe to this Journal page via the RSS feed or follow on Facebook for more updates.
