Chase & Karen :: Wedding

Tuesday, June 22, 2010

Chase and Karen had a beautiful in the Bahamas.  Unfortunately I wasn’t invited:(LOL, but I did get the opportunity to photograph their reception when they returned.  The reception took place at Grizzly Jack’s Grand Bear Resort in Utica, IL.  At first I was a little apprehensive about what the quality of their might be since this is more of a family getaway facility with and carnival rides.  But I have to admit, the banquet hall was stunning!  It was really well decorated with beautiful lighting and a superb staff.  Not only that, with a “carnival” near by it was rediculously fun!  hopping on rides with a is more fun than you might think:D.  Here’s a little taste.

This silky black and white image beautifully captures Karen and Chase happily gazing at each other during their first dance as .

I know this seems out of place but I just couldn’t resist.  At Grand Bear they had this cute baby leopard.  Check out the bling this cat is rockin’!

And last but not least, who can resist a quick kiss in front of the swing buggy?!  It’s like blinky light heaven! LOL.

A special thanks to Chase and Karen for the amazing time we had at your beautiful reception.  And an extra extra special thanks to the wonderful staff at .
