Katherine & Michael, Glen Foerd Mansion, January 16, 2010

Katie said:  Rebecca, I told you when we booked you ” I couldn’t wait until our wedding was over so that we can see our pictures!!”  and I stand by that today…Our photos are absolutely breathtaking!  As much as I miss our wedding day,  the pictures are so incredible and  we are so very happy with them.

Rebecca,  you far surpassed any ideas or hopes we had for our wedding photos!

Katie & Mike completed their nuptials on January 16, 2010, at St. Stephen Cathedral, and had their afternoon reception at Glen Foerd Mansion.

I Love Winter Weddings!

I love winter weddings because the quality of sunlight is better than any other time of year. The sun is lower in the sky creating a warmer and more flattering light. The sun is at a lower angle and actually closer to the earth than in summer, but since the days are shorter it is not warmer.
