Lori and Dan were married on June 23, 2012 in a small ceremony surrounded by their family and friends at Glass City Boardwalk in Moline, OH.  The reception was held immediately following their ceremony at the hall.  This is the story of their wedding day.

I got to the hall before anyone else had arrived so I began by taking some of the detail shots.  When the bride arrived, I took photos of her dress and accessories.

Then it was time to cut the cake….they were gentle on each other because we still needed to go outside and get some romantic photos of the couple.  We went across the street to through the field to the abandoned railroad tracks.

One thing Lori really wanted on her wedding day was my Kurt’s Kustom Keepsakes green screen photo booth that she had seen before at another wedding.  All of the guests had a great time with the images we created just for them.

But the dance floor wasn’t the only place where the guests were having fun.  Back in the entry way, my staff was still taking photo booth pics of all the guests for Abbey and Jake’s scrapbook.  The guests had a great time dressing up and posing for the pictures, and they got to decorate the pages themselves.

Each guest got to take home a 4×6 print of their finished photos as a souvenir and we also printed one copy for a scrapbook for the bride and groom.  The guest then got to sign and decorate the pages.  They absolutely LOVED this idea, and so did the bride and groom who got to take it home with them that night!
