Nauvoo, Rachel, William, and Wind ...

They say Historic Nauvoo is a place for making connections. To the past. To those you love. To yourself. True, true, and true. Especially for newlyweds Rachel and William, married in the Nauvoo Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (not to mention on one of the windiest days imaginable!). Locals said they were shocked the storms held off for the day considering the stormy night that preceded R & W's big day -- there were even pockets of sunlight that burst through periodically. We were too, considering the radar!

But that's all beside the point. The point is... Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. William Baumann! We all wish you the very best now that you've crossed this milestone and as you live out your plans for the future!

Nauvoo: City of Love and Heat

Despite some rather intense heat, the Sylvester-Yordan shoot last week in the City of Joseph was a blast, and it was fun to get to know Mery and Seth during our wedding day photo tour of historic Nauvoo... They're an amazing couple, and the in-laws were awesome too! Click on either photo to check out their entire album.
