Ciao, Bello Giorno!

Hi Everybody -

Again, I'm a bit behind - major apologies!

Just wanted to let you know I've officially named my photography business - Bello Giorno, which means beautiful day in Italian. Living and shooting in Italy definitely changed and enriched my photography (and my life as well) and I figure there's no better way to pay tribute than with an Italian name :) Plus, beautiful day is just so fitting - I'm all about capturing and being witness to everyone's most beautiful days - preserving their happiness and celebration through my pictures.

So, there you have it.
Bello Giorno is born!

Jenny & Tom II

Hey again everybody! Sorry I've been MIA - the holiday last weekend got me all thrown off :) As promised, here are more pics from Jenny & Tom's gorgeous wedding. SUCH a fun bridal party - I had a great time shooting the groomsmen, the beautiful bride, and of course the lovebirds together. Enjoy!





I got lucky enough on the next few to get the perfect afternoon light. :)




Absolutely angelic.














I love this one - it was all their idea. In honor of the King of Pop himself, a Thriller/Michael Jackson tribute :)



They were so fun :)

Ready, set...


GO!


The eyes have it.





He's got such a good grip on her - holding her forever.

There's more to come on Jenny & Tom - they're such a good looking couple, I just can't stop myself. Until then... <3

Jenny & Tom

I've been incredibly lucky lately to have some of the most gorgeous brides and handsome grooms, and Jenny and Tom are no exception.  They made my job so easy - not only are they very pretty people, but they are also obviously very much in love!  These two celebrated the beginning of their lives together with an intimate ceremony and reception in Waukesha.  Every aspect of the day was simply stunning!

My favorite part of this small church was the attention to detail - the banners on the walls, the simplicity of the altar, and here, the Lord's prayer hanging as a tapestry over the entrance.







The newlyweds sharing a moment right after the ceremony.  Don't they look perfect together?

Here's the love I was talking about.  They're so clearly head-over-heels for each other!



Beautiful, beautiful bride.  Everything about her was stunning.



I LOVE how excited they are to see each other :)

The flower girl dreaming of someday looking as fabulous as her new sister-in-law.

This was a super fun bridal party.  Guess you'll have to check out future posts to see them in action! ;)

I just love this one.

Congratulations Jenny and Tom!  More posts on these two to come - lots of bridal party fun at the Botanical Gardens and an uber cool reception.  Stay tuned!
