Hi Cathy and David, thanks for leaving the nice comment on my Blog. I love looking at your work also. It’s so cool to be in a grand old building with a beautiful bride and groom and capturing breathtaking pictures. I’ve stayed at the Palmer House Hilton at least twice and I love that old hotel. I haven’t been for a few years, but the French restaurant breakfast was to die for. Is it still that awesome?

Post by David – Cathy and David Photographers
A little back story is necessary for this engagement session. If you’ve read our blogs before or know me very well, you’ll know that I’m from Bloomington, Illinois (a story I always find amusing since we live in Bloomington, Indiana)....

Beautiful! What a great sunset. Congrats again.
December 8, 2009 - 2:00 pm
Truly amazing pictures…..and by the way, I don’t believe in coincidences. I believe that it was meant for you to photograph Emily’s wedding,I’m pretty sure Emily feels that way too. Evidence is in the fact that the day was a “gorgeous day surrounded by days of yuck”. Nope, not a coincidence!!
December 8, 2009 - 1:43 pm
Beautiful Pics….I love them all.
December 8, 2009 - 12:42 pm
what a great session, i love the location.

These pictures are awesome! Emily is very special to us and she looks so happy in these pictures. You captured the Emily we all know and love!
December 8, 2009 - 1:00 am

December 7, 2009 - 7:17 pm
I just love it when you guys have to come to Bloomington, IL to do engagement sessions and weddings. Hopefully, you’ll get more and you’ll want to move back home. 
I absolutely loved all the photos, especially the one under the Love, the reflection picture and the sunset picture. Fabulous job!!!!!!!
Love you! Mom
December 7, 2009 - 5:19 pm
