**BONUS: First attempt at online slideshow! This was the slideshow I showed at their reception. Let me know what you think!
Dawn + Doug were married on Saturday, September 26 in Pontiac, with a reception following in Streator. Dawn was a referral from my friend Becky, whose wedding I photographed last July. Becky did Dawn’s flowers and they were gorgeous! I loved the color scheme… a lot of royal blue with some other bright, primary colors thrown in. I thought for sure before the wedding that their colors would be red and white based on their engagement photos! 
The whole day went very smoothly, except for the fact that the rain thwarted some of our photo plans for after the ceremony. Luckily though, I was able to get shots of both the guys and the ladies before the ceremony while the weather was still cooperative.
I told Dawn that this drawing in the Sunday school room we were in was her new rules for marriage. 
This is one of my absolute favorites from the day:
Here’s my favorite shot of the cake taken by my assistant for the day, Kimmy.
And this is how the cake ended up!
Lastly, here’s a group shot of some of the bridesmaids, family and Dawn checking out a slideshow of my images from the day. So far this year, I’ve done this at every all-day wedding I’ve photographed. It is always a huge hit!
