On July 13, 2013 Dana Parkhill & Frank Miller were married at the beautiful Armour House in Lake Forest. What a perfect day for an outdoor wedding and when I say perfect…it was truly that! The day could not have been better for the two of them. Dana & Frank met each other a couple years ago through a mutual friend. When they first met their friend said “Mr. Nice Guy meet Mrs. Nice Girl”. When you meet both of them you realize that pretty much sums it up. After they met each other they dated and endured a long distance relationship for a while. Frank was finishing up undergrad at Wake Forest in North Carolina and Dana was finishing graduate school in Bloomington Indiana. They spent summers together and saw each other when they could but I’m sure it was difficult as all long distance relationships are. When Frank graduated in 2012 he came to Bloomington and got a job. They were so grateful to finally be in the same town! Frank proposed to Dana at a local winery in Bloomington in October of 2012 and the rest is history. When you see the two of them together you can see how much love and respect they have for each other and it was such an honor to capture their gorgeous wedding day!
I would like to thank Dana & Frank for choosing me to photograph their special day! I wish you both many years of happiness and joy together! You two are such a wonderful couple! I would also like to thank Megan Estrada of Northshore Events who was so helpful and made the day run smoothly without a hitch! Petr Poliak (my truly talented second shooter) and I had a great time the entire day and would love to share some of our favorite moments with you! Enjoy!!
