Today we have another sneak peek.  These are images from Nichole and Nathan's military wedding.  The couple met as fellow soldiers and will be moving soon to Hawaii where the groom will be based.  Let's start with the above image taken in front of the gazebo in Wicker Park where the outdoor ceremony took place last Friday along with the reception.

The day started at Salon Platinum in Schererville for some fun getting ready shots of the bride, her bridesmaids and family...

The bride's sister tended to maid of honor duties along with lot's of hugs...

I couldn't have asked for a nicer bumch of folks who welcomed me into their home for some close up shots of the bride's dress.  Northwest Indiana had the threat of rain all day, but no one panicked and we had a great day of wedding photography.

Our groom and soldier Nathan poses in front of the outdoor ceremony site at Wicker Park.  He was a most gracious gentleman and my photography assistant remarked how well he and his groomsmen treated her throughout the day.

Soon it was time for Nichole to walk down the aisle arm and arm with her Dad toward friends and family and of course, her groom the soldier...

The wind was volatile at this time and Nichole's veil got whipped around quite a bit.  The bride and groom were very laid back and just enjoyed their own ceremony.  I hung on tight to my cameras and we are going to have some terrific wedding photos with dramatic skies and fun moments.

The reception also took place at Wicker Park Banquet hall with the bride and groom dancing their first dance in front of an illuminated American flag...

I look forward to showing this wonderful couple all of their wedding photos.  To see more from Nichole and Nathan's outdoor military wedding, please subscribe to this blog and also visit the SBV Photography Facebook page for more updates.  Much more to come!!
