Miller Park Wedding Photographer | Samantha + Rich – 10.09.09

This was another of many weddings that I was looking forward to all year, but this one was special in another way. Albeit brief, Samantha is a former employee of Mark Romine Photography, so when I was asked to be the photographer for one of the most important days in her life I was truly delighted and gladly excepted. It was only a little more than a year earlier that I was asked to photograph Amanda’s wedding, Samantha’s older sister, so many of the faces were familiar ones. Although it was a rather chilly day for early October and it drizzled off and on all day, the wedding was none the less quite beautiful! Samantha chose to wear her mother’s wedding dress with a few alterations. She looked stunning and the dress was perfect for her! Following the ceremony, they held their reception dinner at the Miller Park Pavilion. The reception dinner was followed by an after reception party in Uptown Normal at Medici

As always, a big shout of thanks to my ever supportive and creative assistant who has worked tirelessly through a very heavy fall workload, Katelyn.

Aunt Christine - I adore the photo of Matt hugging Sammy….so much love. I really think the photo of Sammy twirling captures her personality perfectly. The artsy ones of shoes, etc. are wonderful and would look fabulous framed and hung together. They capture the day without screaming “wedding photos!” Beautiful photographs of a really wonderful wedding. The movie marquee is so glam!

Jason Kehl (uncle of the groom) - Very, very nice work. I am impressed that the photographer took several “requested shots” that added a nice touch to get family photos, not otherwise available.
The many engagement and wedding photos of the wedding party were all first class and on the internet – top end work and fine use of todays technology.
Richard and Samantha – Our congratlations and best wishes to an exceptional couple with many photos to “re-live” that special day, for years and years.
