Happy Holidays!!

So, wonderful as they are, the holidays are a giant time bandit!  I have decided that rather than write a bunch of mediocre posts, I'm going to put The Ethereal Bride on hiatus just til after the New Year.  This way I can come back to you rested and better than ever!  I also have some new site design changes in the works, so look for that in the not-so-distant future as well.  I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season and I'll see all of you next year!!

Ciao!

Kellie & Dave: Autumn Apple Orchard Engagement Shoot

Kellie and Dave were recently engaged in July at his family's cabin in Wisconsin after dating for 3 1/2 years.  Their photographer, Ashley, attended Augustana College with Dave and they knew she would be a perfect fit for their engagement shoot and wedding.  Since they are planning on a October 2011 wedding, they chose to do the shoot at Jonamac Apple Orchard in Malta, Illinois in order to stay consistent with their autumn theme.  The orchard provided a variety of backdrops including a pumpkin patch, cornfield, and, of course, an apple orchard.  Since it had rained the night before, the location was really muddy and by the end the couple was covered in it!  Can't wait to feature their wedding next fall and see what gorgeous, creative photos Ashley and the couple create!
