Anthony & Beth: Crown Point Wedding Sneak Preview

This is merely a sneak preview of the many, many more images to come from Anthony and Beth's wedding in Crown Point, Indiana.  Before we even get to some of the photographs, I have to thank the families of both bride and groom for treating me so well.  The folks at the Downtown Hair Studio in Lowell were terrific as were everyone at St. Matthias Church.  The reception at Avalon Manor was a blast and the folks at Pro Jams were great DJ's.

Our first image is from the make up chair at the Downtown Hair Studio in Lowell.  This is our bride Beth in a laugh that I saw many times during the day of her wedding.  I'm happy to have caught one of these while hanging out with her and her girls.  I promised them no donut shots.  They will have to wait for the rest of the images to see if I actually kept my word!!  :)

The girls take a vote on mom's up-do.  Looks like a thumbs up all the way around...

Speaking of "do's", here's a shot of Beth admiring her completed transformation.  The folks at Downtown Hair Studio do a great job, definitely check them out.  I may be a "dumb guy photographer", but even I know great hair and makeup.  

Our junior bridesmaid gets into the action too...

After finishing up with the girls I headed out to St. Matthias Church to meet my assistant Amy for some formal shots of the groomsmen...

Look for some winter outdoor shots of these guys when I unveil all the images.  The groomsmen got stuck out in the winter cold for awhile as the bride was whisked into the church from the front.

This next one is Beth embracing her Dad just after they walked down the aisle and as he gave her away to Anthony....

Next up in our sneak preview is our bride alone on the altar for a formal photo.  Thanks again to St. Matthias in Crown Point for giving me free reign to pose the bride alone up on the altar.

The reception was held at Avalon Manor in Merrillville and was a blast from start to finish.  Here is one of the first dance photographs...

What can I say, these girls looked SERIOUS about catching that bouquet.....

I have many more crazy dancing shots to come, but here is one of the more acrobatic moves of the night...

So there is our sneak preview of Anthony and Beth's Crown Point wedding.  Look for rest of the images to go up soon.  In the meantime, have a look around at a sampling of past wedding on the wedding gallery page.
