Champaign Country Club Wedding Photography | Holly and Todd

January 10, 2010

Wedding Photography Coverage at the Champaign Country Club – Champaign, Illinois
Post by David. – Cathy and David Photographers

We first talked to Holly and Todd about their New Year’s Eve wedding less than 4 weeks before it was to take place. They had just become engaged in October and after being together for three years, they simply couldn’t wait any longer.

So a couple of weeks later, with a fresh layer of snow upon the grounds of the Champaign Country Club, we met up with Todd an hour before the wedding. We found him in a bit of a panic and slightly worried for his bride to be. Apparently, the salon doing Holly’s hair was an epic fail, as they say, and after two hours of the stylist screwing up her hair, Holly had thrown up her arms and gone home to do it herself. Todd shouldn’t have been worried though. Holly did an amazing job and was an absolute joy, as the rest of the day went by flawlessly. We had so much fun with this couple, counting down the clock with them, laughing with their friends and family, and having such an awesome time for our last wedding of 2009, and first (:-D) wedding of 2010.

A special thank you to the Champaign Country Club for their amazing service, care and kindness. You guys were great!

Holly editing her vows.

In this shot: Bride, Groom, Flowers, Step-Mom, Childhood friend, Officiant. All at once.
“Booyah!” as Ashton Kutcher would say.Sorry. Love those Nikon commercials. LOL!

Quite possibly one of my favorite bridal portraits.

Love. ^_^

Holly and Todd were sweet enough to let us drag them outside when it was 11-degrees out.Thankfully they were hot enough.

Normally I don’t post things like family formals on the blog, but I just found this one too touching to resist.It might be my fav of the day.

We’re just as confused as you are.

Cathy’s favorite shot of the day.

Happy New Year’s!

These have to be quite possibly, the BEST senior portrait photos, EVER.They had pictures of their childhood at every table, each one a different age group.

Thanks for reading! – David.

Kia Gregory - January 15, 2010 - 10:14 pm

I love that shadowed hallway shot. There was something about it that was eerie AND beautiful at the same time. Eerily beautiful? That’s what I’m going with.

Brianna Phelan - January 14, 2010 - 9:32 pm

I heart Ashton Kutcher (so dreamy!)! Though not quite as much as I heart your pictures (totally dreamier!)!!!

Stunning, clear, real, full of life. Awesome!

Carlene - January 11, 2010 - 11:12 am

What fabulous photographs (use of lighting, angles, color, etc.) and it must really exciting to have awesome subject matter!!

Meg @ Sienna Wedding - January 11, 2010 - 11:02 am

Absolutely gorgeous! I just LOVE the shot outside with the lights behind them. Stunning!

Fina - January 11, 2010 - 11:02 am

The emotions are captured perfectly! What a beautiful night! Congrats again Holly and Todd!

Jessika Feltz - January 11, 2010 - 12:42 am

Fantastic job, guys!! Loved the ones by the Christmas tree!! They looked so happy throughout the whole day!

Dad - January 10, 2010 - 11:16 pm

Definitely difficult to pick a favorite. Loved the colors and the shadowing of the feet on the hard wood floor, the intensity of the two in a tango and the gentleman holding the strings. However my favorite was the far away shot in the darkened hallway that was both romantic and mysterious. Well done.

Karalee - January 10, 2010 - 5:36 pm

Such a beautiful wedding and so stunningly captured. They look so perfectly happy

Maria Barker - January 10, 2010 - 2:29 pm

Stunning! I can’t believe they pulled together such a spectacular wedding in just four weeks. Beautiful!!

Jeanne - January 10, 2010 - 2:19 pm

Amazing photos Holly. You guys look so happy! Wish I could have been there, but these pics help me share the moment.
Love you tons!

Sharon - January 10, 2010 - 12:54 pm

What a teaser! Now I can’t wait to see all the wedding photos. Fantastic job, Cathy and David. It was a fun wedding, with many personal, precious moments. You caught some we didn’t know about. Love it, love it!

Lori Herrin - January 10, 2010 - 12:31 pm

It is totally impossible to pick out a favorite because they were all so well done. However, the gentlemen holding on to the strings of Holly’s dress and his expression was PRICELESS!!
Love you! Mom

Janice - January 10, 2010 - 12:24 pm

Stunning…when the subjects are perfect, so are the photos!

Christine Elizabeth - January 10, 2010 - 11:26 am

Fabulous! I love them! I can’t pick a fave, but I really love the groom and generations Those moments always get me! And the black and white of them 3 from the end.

You guys totally rock! Happy New Year!

Angi Davis - January 10, 2010 - 11:19 am

Pure AWESOME-NESS! I love her flowers and that dress…GAH!! Nicely done once again. Oh, and I’d never heard of this venue before, which is bad since I’ve lived here for over ten years. :O)
