St. Michael Catholic Church will always be a special place for me as it was the church that Sue and I were married in 9 years ago. I’ve been to quite a few weddings at St. Michael but Brittany and Zach’s came with a surprise from Father Sonny. You’ll notice him playing guitar in the middle of this movie. He stopped and sang them a song while he played mid ceremony. From the look on their faces it was pretty special for the bride and groom.

Post ceremony we headed west to the St. Charles Country Club. If you have not been, it is a Country Club worth visiting. Tucked back in the trees and on a rolling hill, the club provides wonderful backdrops for wedding pictures. Lookout for pictures of the dessert trays that came out late in the evening. They really spent a lot of time making all of the details perfect for Brittany and Zach.

Enjoy the movie!
