Missy and Grant’s Wedding

Missy and Grant were married in early October at Kickapoo Creek Winery. The fall colors were getting really brilliant by that time, and the grapes leaves were beginning to turn as well. It was a fabulous day filled with fall color and happiness. Look at Missy’s bouquet…isn’t it fabulous?

Hilary and Justin

We met Hilary and Justin on a windy fall day at the riverfront. We had a fabulus time with this couple, and are looking forward to photographing their wedding next year!

Kelly and Jon

Kelly and Jon were married on a beautiful day in early fall.  The ceremony was held at St. Mathias Church in Muscatine, Iowa, and the weather was just perfect.

Kelly’s flowers were glorious shades of red, and she had her mom and dad’s wedding ring tied under the bouquet.

Kelly’s girls were dressed in elegant black…

A few last minutes smiles just before the ceremony…

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!

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

Ashley and Tim’s Engagement

Wedding season is in full swing here in Illinois, and I am two weddings behind but working hard to catch up! Taking a small break to share Ashley and Tim’s engagement images. They will be married this July in Peoria, and Kara and I will be celebrating their day with them. Here are a few images from their recent engagement session.


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!
