Roberta + Corey wedding {by kate}

Roberta and Corey had a beautiful fall wedding on Corey’s family’s farm in Illinois.  I always LOVE working with families for multiple weddings and this is no exception!  Corey is the brother of a former favorite couple, Amanda and Chris, so I was super excited to get to work with their families and to see old friends again.  The farm might look familiar, as we shot Amanda and Chris’s “love the dress” there as well!  (see HERE  – and yes, that riding arena with all the dust flying is the very same location for the reception in this wedding–crazy!!)  Anyway– enough reminiscing Kate!!

True love buys a duck call for a wedding gift.  And has it engraved for the occasion.  Awesome.

anyone who knows me, you know that I LOVE it when a big, tough man is also a total softie at heart.  Let the love flow freely, I say!!

I adore this arbor built by Becky Klein at Poppies Design Studio.  Another connection — Amanda, the groom’s sister, also works there as part of Becky’s awesome team!

So… this is what happens when you mess with the groom.  You end up doubled over turning beet red after a surprise attack.  :)  HA!!

okay, something about this photo cracks me up… she is just standing there looking totally calm and the bouquet just basically is falling right into her hands.

Thanks for letting me come back to the farm — what a fun day!! (even if some certain people can’t pronounce Rohwedder properly and I got COVERED in beggars lice from getting into the weeds like a crazy person!) with love, kate

Special thanks to Stephen Seward, my trusty second shooter for the day!
