Jesell and Anthony were married on April 12, 2008 in Galena, Illinois, and we had the pleasure of capturing their wedding day. We had a fabulous time spending the day with this wonderful couple, as well as their friends and family. It was a little cold, but still a perfect day with this pair.
All the little details were just perfect…
After the ceremony, we headed over to a park for some shots of the bride and groom. It was CHILLY, but Jesell braved the cold, and Anthony was kind enough to hold her bouquet so that she could keep her hands warm. The Westminster United Presbyterian Church where the couple was married is right over Anthony’s shoulder here.
We then headed to the DeSoto House Hotel for some toasts and relaxation. We stopped some traffic on Main Street just before leaving the reception.
And the first dance….love this one!

Thanks so much, Jesell and Anthony! It was an honor to share your special day!

GASP! Michelle I was unaware you photographed weddings. This couple and (any future couples) are so lucky to have you. wow wow wow I see alot here worthy of competitions. Please let us know which one they get as the huge over the fireplace portrait. If my wedding portraits looked this good, I’d do a whole wall series.
