It’s not often that I get to be part of a marriage proposal. In fact in the last 10 years it has happened only one other time. Phil, the groom to be, planned to ask Nicole to marry him last weekend at his brother’s wedding reception. The Hotel Baker in St. Charles has a wonderful garden and stone courtyard right out the back door. Phil snuck out of the reception with Nicole to a small terrace overlooking the river. I didn’t want to spoil the surprise, so I snuck out behind them attempting to hide in the distance. Enjoy this little movie of the proposal. Congratulations to Phil and Nicole!
Shoots: Wedding Movies
Most people in this area know that July can bring rain or heat. I’m still not sure how, but we avoided both for the this outdoor wedding. Jen and David had the perfect weather and an unbelievable location. The Armour House is by far one of my favorite outdoor locations to date. On a side note, these two are the reason I love my job. We had a limited time to shoot after the wedding but they let me take them anywhere I had in mind. Thanks for the short trek down to the lake!

Megan and Matt were married last winter. I was just preparing a few of their images and couldn’t help but post their movie. 3 stories of window light at the hotel was a dream come true. We shot a good portion of the girls right in the main lobby of the hotel. Marilyn, the wedding planner from, Honey Bee Weddings even helped out a bit holding one of my video lights!
Megan and Matt had their ceremony at Holy Name Catholic Church and the reception was at the Murphy Auditorium.
