Jennifer and Jeff

Most brides BEG us to give them perfect weather-- they plead with us for sunshine. Brides ask us to make sure that we keep it at least 70 degrees and we desperately wish we could give it to them but it really is out of our hands. It breaks our hearts not to be able to magic in the good weather for our girls... but Jennifer was a little different. Jennifer planned a winter wedding and one day asked us if we thought she was going to luck out and get snow! With a mid-January wedding we felt pretty confident telling her that snow looked promising ;)

Jennifer was always a winter-loving girl and we couldn't have been more happy for her that she got her dream wedding-- snow included! She accented her day with gorgeous purple bridesmaids' dresses and matching purple pumps for our glowing bride. Even with snow on the ground the bride (and bridal party!) made it outside for pictures.

Lindsey & Kevin

This New Year's Eve Heyn Photography had the pleasure of ringing in 2011 with a truly wonderful bride and groom-- Lindsey and Kevin. We'd met them before-- not just on their engagement shoot but on a few weddings within their circle of friends (best of all-- we get to see them at a few upcoming weddings as well)! They are sweet, down-to-earth people who had a wedding reflective of that love: a pure celebration, tons of fun, and absolutely no stress. Lindsey was a truly calm bride and a joy to work with (the camera really loves her!) and Kevin was a groom who was happy to help his bride achieve the photos she wanted.

Lindsey even climbed on a piano for us and braved the snowy outdoors at Fairleigh Dickinson University for her pictures and we couldn't be happier with the result!

Besides FDU we were located at The Madison Hotel and we just have one word for you: conservatory. Although you probably haven't used "conservatory" in a conversation since the last time you played Clue it was an absolutely BREATHTAKING location for a wedding ceremony and reception! Outside you could see the ambient light from a gorgeous winter sky, inside the lighting was dimmed to a romantic glow, and it felt like being in a winter wonderland.

Congrats to Lindsey and Kevin and thank you for a memorable New Year!
