Kristin & Howard were married this past weekend at the ridiculously gorgeous Cuneo Museum and Gardens in Vernon Hills.    If you’ve never been here before, regardless of whether you’re planning a wedding or not, definitely check out the Cuneo Museum to see how the “other half” lived back in the roaring 20′s!  Even if you just need a place for some casual family pictures, or if you’re a nature lover, it’s worth a trip to Vernon Hills.  As soon as I laid eyes on this place I knew it was going to be an exquisite wedding, as well as a fantastic venue for wedding photographs!

I think it’s cool when the bride lets the bridesmaids pick out their own shoes……

So this was the area where the cocktail hour was held….however can you imagine having a backyard like this….the Cuneo Museum’s pool house was larger than some of the apartments I’ve lived in!
The wedding ceremony and photography opportunities were pretty dramatic, but can you imagine what the landscaping bill on a place like this would’ve been?

Like most beautiful wedding venues however, the only downside to having your wedding at a place like this is making sure you have enough time for pictures, while at the same time being able to enjoy your cocktail hour and wedding reception.  I could’ve easily shot with Kristin & Howard for several hours both before and after their wedding ceremony, however I do realize that the photographs are only one part of the entire wedding day experience.
