I hope that everyone had a fantastic Halloween! So much fun ahead as we move into holiday season. However, since our editing process over here is pretty extensive, I’m going to be giving you a few more summer flashbacks as the leaves fall from the trees. If you long for lush green fields, picnics in […]

Dreaming of this summer wedding on this dreary day… Liz began the day getting ready with family and friends. Love the pattern on these fun wedges! and a little champagne! Sweet mama & sister moments are the best! Don’t forget Dad! Mark had some lovely details too! You have to think fast if you want […]

Claire and Patrick are adorable, and they  got married on the rainiest wedding day of the year (so far!) but they did not let the torrential downpour dash their spirits one bit! We grabbed our umbrellas and ran for cover multiple times, even within Jewel Box.  Yup, if it’s raining hard enough, it can leak!  Little streams […]

This was a wedding of a few firsts for us! A) It was our first wedding out at Overlook Farms and the grounds and Avalon Hall are both lovely. B) It was our first wedding with FIREWORKS! Crazy fun right?! Turns out fireworks are not that easy to shoot AND get great shots of the […]

Before I began typing, I glanced through all of the photos I inserted into this blog post and found myself sitting here with a little evil smirk on my face. I can’t explain it…there’s nothing embarrassing in here. It’s just so them. Which makes me feel like I did my job ok that day, and […]

ahhhh fall…the crisp air and the gorgeous colors… I think early November might be my favorite time to shoot weddings in the midwest.  Amanda and Peter’s wedding  day was a perfect example of why!  We began at her family farm in Illinois…. a cute sign always lets us know we’re in the right neck of […]
