It was an honor to learn about the history of such a special place and the special woman that everyone loves so much.

The perfect summer day gave way to this fantastic nautical wedding in Lake Geneva.  Outdoor ceremonies are always our favorite, but it was Nicole’s walk down the isle that really caught our eye – she was escorted by one of her sons.  It was a very special moment.  Not to mention, her other son walked down the isle with a ‘Here Comes the Bride’ sign – precious!  Another item that caught our attention was the donated goods table.  Nicole and Jason kindly requested that each guest bring a non-perishable food item to donate.  A very thoughtful idea that we had never heard of before and were so excited about.  The celebration continued aboard the Grand Belle, cruising around Lake Geneva.  The menu was fabulous and the dance floor was moving – literally!  We are so happy for this lovely family.  A very merry congratulations to N&J.  Thanks to you both for creating such a uniquely wonderful day for us to photograph and be a part of.  – S&S

The Nelson’s hold a special place in my heart.  They are such a wonderful couple and their pups, Spencer, Stuart and Deavon, are equally as lovely.  Steven and I had such a nice evening capturing this family.  Many thanks to Ron & Dori for inviting us into their beautiful home and sharing a little piece of their happiness with us.  Always, Sarah
