Ashley and Tim - July 26

Ashley and Tim were married on a gorgeous, sunny day in July.  The weather was perfect for a breezy, beautiful outdoor ceremony at The Gateway, and the reception featured a hoola-hoop contest…too much fun!

Here are a few of my favorites…

I can never pass up a good “dip” shot….

Lindsay and Justin’s Wedding - May 24, 2008

Lindsay and Justin were married on May 24th at the Eastview Christian Church in Normal, Illinois. We spent a wonderful spring day with them…their friends and family were wonderful, and the kids were so much fun to photograph! Sharing a few of their fabulous PINK wedding day…I loved all the pink since it’s my favorite too!

Lindsay’s dress was so beautiful…

The beautiful bride…

And this has to be one of my favorite cakes EVER. It was FABULOUS!

Did I tell ya?! Fabulous! So many amazing little details….

LOTS more to come. I am going to get back to working on them. Thank you for allowing us to share your wedding day.

Kim and Drew’s Spring Wedding

Kim and Drew were married on May 10, 2008 in Monmouth, Illinois.  We had a fabulous day with this new family.  Their wedding was a celebration, and everyone was so happy and full of joy and excitement for the future.  Here are a few from their day, more to come very soon!

First, some details….

Kim’s bouquet was an stunning gathering of soft pastels, with lots of pink which always makes me happy :)

And the rings, which were fabulous!

Kim looked radiant…

And Drew was relaxed and having fun with his groomsmen….

And here’s Mr. N, having fun with the guys…

Have you ever seen a cuter ringbearer?

And the beautiful Miss J getting some help with hair and jewelry…

And the cake….it looked incredible, and I loved the hot pink roses.

All for now, guys!  Thank you for allowing us to spend the day with you.  I’ll get the gallery out to you as soon as I can!

Sharing an engagement….

Missy and Grant will be getting married this fall at Kickapoo Creek Winery, so we headed there for a few shots to celebrate their engagement.  There isn’t much growing there yet, but you can certainly see the potential, and it should be incredible when fall rolls around.

Jesell and Anthony are married!

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!

We commission a limited number of weddings each month so that we can still tend to our families, so it’s a good idea to get your date reserved early. We’re excited about the opportunity to photograph some terrific couples in 2008, and have already started reserving dates for 2009 weddings.
