Okay first, I'm sorry. I'm sorry I haven't updated my blog regularly in quite some time. My life has taken some rough turns, and has required my full attention at times, and haven't been able to sit down share everything that's been going on.
Without going into too much detail, my wife has been diagnosed with a life-long illness, and coming to grips with what that means for her, and us as a family has been a steep learning curve. Doctor's visits, lots of reading and thinking, talking, and figuring out what the rest of our lives together is going to look like has been a full-time job as of late. We're not out of the woods yet, but I think I see a small light at the end of the tunnel.
Nevertheless, it feels good to sit down and write. And, I'm excited to finally post a wedding I photographed back in October in Kohler, Wisconsin. So with that...
Susan and Justin came to me through a friend of a friend. And when Susan called me for the first time, she couldn't stop talking about how much she loved my style. And, Susan and I got along from the get-go. So naturally, it wasn't too hard to convince me to fly up to Kohler, Wisconsin for their wedding last October.
When I got there, I had the opportunity to shoot their rehearsal dinner, and was able to meet Susan and Justin face-to-face before the wedding, which was great. When Susan walked through the door to the restaurant, she said a couple obligatory "hello's," and made a b-line right for me. "Are you Chad," she asked. "Susan?" I replied. A smile ran from ear to ear on both our faces and we talked about how excited we both were for the wedding the following day.
Kohler, if you haven't been there, is absolutely stunning. It's an old town that was originally developed solely for the purpose of housing the workers at the Kohler plant (the place where they design and produce Kohler sinks and such). But today, it's a darling town of 2000+, where the streets are lined with 100-year old trees, and the houses are from the turn of the century (the earlier one, anyway). To boot, we were there in October, and the leaves were turning. So, beautiful.
On the wedding day, it was a tad cold, to say the least. Okay, it was frickin' freezing and breezy. Kohler is only a few miles west of Lake Michigan. So, on top of being cold and breezy, it was humid. And humid cold is way colder than dry cold like it is here in Colorado. But, that didn't seem to get anyone down. Susan and Justin were both excited and anxious, and ready. And other than my trigger finger getting a bit chilly during the ceremony, all went off without a hitch.
The ceremony and reception were both at The American Club. I could go on and on about how beautiful this venue was, but I've rambled enough. Here are a few of my faves from the day.
