Real Wedding: Kathleen & Tyson – February Red, III

April 3rd. 2009 by Eddye | Filed Under | 17 comments

Kathleen and Tyson’s wedding images, sent to us by two of our favorite Little Black Book photographers,  Jeffrey and Julia Woods, elicit such a sense of tranquility deep inside … it’s obvious from beginning to end that the Woods have an innate instinct for capturing not just the obvious beauty surrounding a wedding, but the most subtle nuances that completely define the essence of the day as well.

From the lovely bride, Kathleen …

Tyson and I met at a mutual friend’s birthday party in Chicago. I went to the University of Wisconsin- Madison and Tyson went to the University of Illinois as did a lot of my high school friends, so we know a lot of the same people. The bizarre part was that one of our friends, Brittney, introduced Tyson to me as my “future husband” and then introduced me to Tyson as his “future wife”. It was awkward but funny and obviously, we had no idea that would actually happen!

Red was the chosen color for our wedding. We chose February because that is the month we met and we didn’t want a super lengthy engagement. We really wanted a completely romantic feel so we went with red and black. The red theme was carried throughout the 9 month engagement which was really fun. The engagement party had a red Asian theme and the showers and rehearsal dinner also went with the red idea. I thought it was fun to wear red in some way for all of the events too. There was no shortage of red…flowers, purses, bridesmaid dresses (in which all of the girls were stunning), red lighting, red drinks, red cake, red draping, red candles…even the Country Club staff wore red tuxedo shirts. It was just a blast to have fun with the color!

    Yes, Jeff and Julia are definitely amazing!

    The veil was custom made at the bridal store where I bought my dress: The Ultimate Bride in Chicago, IL. Very simple but pretty :)

    OH MY WORD. She looks like Kate Winslet. Especially in that second photo. GORGEOUS!

  8. Kate says:

    I have been trying to find pictures that had the exact colors and feel of the wedding I want. This is fabulous! Well done... I now feel more confident about my color choices! Beautiful!

  9. I would like to add to this wonderful story and something that was not mention. Not only is Tyson and Kathleen a dream to photograph. They are two of the most sincer people and you cant help but fall in love with them. Here is some behind the scenes extra info. The outdoor pics were shot in frigid midwest weather. The temp that day was a high of 20 degrees fahrenheit and snow. She did not think twice about going outside, however our cameras were not as happy ;) And of course Tyson did his part in keeping her warm.

    My favorite color is red, but I've yet to find a great red wedding until this one. Thank you! It was nice to see red come out coupled with colors other than entirely black. Very classy, very sophisticated and timeless.

    I am getting married in July and we are doing a red black wedding. I have looked at a MILLION pictures and your bridesmaid dresses are my very favorite!! Could you let me know what brand they are so I can find them or at least something similar!?!? Thanks!

  13. Kathleen says:

    Sorry I am just seeing this now Angela! The dresses are Badgley Mischka. They were very flaterring and everyone looked amazing! I went through Ultimate Bride in Chicago but you can go through any store to get them.

  14. Zabdy says:
