July 30th 2006
Danielle and Ted had a beatiful day to become married as man and wife. They planned their day to spend with their family and friends at Pheasant Run Resort in St Charles, IL. http://www.pheasantrun.com/ Danielle and her bridesmaids got ready while the groom and groomsmen played in the pool! Being able to capture the preceremony shots of both Danielle and Ted really summed up how the remaining part of the day would follow. FUN! This is a day that will be remembered forever! The ceremony was outdoors with those that were close to Danielle and Ted. After having some fun shooting photos with the family and friends, it was on to the reception. With the reception being held on "Bourbon Street," the night could have not been sweeter! Danielle and Ted, it was our pleasure to be a part of your wedding day and we wish you many, many years to come!

Megan and Bob choose to see each other before the wedding and what a special moment it was. To see the love in their eyes....you could truly feel that they were the one for each other. The special moments were shared at Independence Grove in Libertyville, IL. with the ceremony at Prairie Crossing Gazebo in Grayslake, IL. Megan and Bob personally took the time to arrange all of the flowers themselves, which turned out simply beautiful! The ceremony was short and sweet with mother nature coming on fast. All of the guests (and Swanson Photography/Video Crew) made a dash for the reception just in the nick of time. The reception was at the Byron Colby Barn in Grayslake, IL which was a beautifully unique and fantastic location. Family and friends danced the night away as the rain fell on the tin roof! Megan and Bob, it was our pleasure being a part of your wedding day and I wish you the very best!
