Deidra and Owen wanted a very private ceremony in the woods of the Leroy Oaks Forest Preserve in St. Charles, IL.  They found the cutest little spot on the curve of a little river when hiking in the woods last winter.  Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate.  They ended up deciding to move the ceremony to a hill with umbrellas.  With only their children as witnesses and family to marry them (and us:), they married in a romantic ceremony.  And to show it was meant to be, the rain stopped when they said "I Do!".  To make an emotional day even more touching, they released balloons to represent their late sons to include them on their new chapter into their futures together.  Before going to dinner to celebrate, we had two hours of laughs and kisses as we took pictures all over the property.  It was wonderful getting to know their family and watch how they couldn't keep the smiles off their faces!  Here are a few of my favorites and even a video of their vows.  Don't mind the amateur video and the millions of birds, wind, rain, and camera beeps that make it hard to hear!  Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Peterson!
