| Britnie + Brandon | Engagement Portraits | Decatur IL |

Seriously, are these people not just gorgeous?!!? Britnie made my day when she came in for her consultation talking about how she knew she’d wanted me to photographer her wedding since she was in high school. I’m honored to be joining in their wedding day later this year and had an amazing time creating their family/engagement images this fall.

| Kelly + Jacob | Decatur Conference Center & Hotel Wedding |

Today I get to share Kelly & Jacob’s beautiful wedding day with you guys. This was the last wedding I photographed this summer before our little baby girl arrived so I was a tad HUGE but that definitely didn’t stand in the way of us having a great time creating these images.

One thing the Decatur Conference Center does so well is wedding/reception combinations all in one place. It’s so convenient especially with out of town guests to have only one location they’ll need to find and the conference center has the space to let this all happen without any transition time needed to change over the room from ceremony to reception decor. Plus, the wooded grounds of the DCCH are perfect for portraits and we can get a ton of variety right there on site.

Kelly & Jacob opted not to see eachother before the wedding but we were still able to create images of them both pre-wedding to save the time after the ceremony for just images of the larger group and plenty of time for the two of them.

The back pond at the conference center makes for the perfect get away for just the lovely couple to spend some time solo on their big day. This is one of my favorite things to do with couples… the day IS about you two but it can be so hectic with the party and being surrounded by your loved ones that often you actually don’t get any time for just you two. So we always try to carve out at least 20-30 minutes on the big day for you to escape the hustle and just spend some time loving on eachother!

| Meghan + Brandon | Married | Decatur IL Wedding |

I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful intimate in-home wedding this spring and I’m so excited to share Meghan & Brandon’s album with you all today. Meghan’s sister hosted their wedding in her lovely home and it was the perfect atmosphere filled with their family and we had the perfect gorgeous sunny day.

| Jessie + Derek | Married | Columbia Missouri Wedding |

Today I get to show off Jessie & Derek’s Columbia, MO wedding day. This lovely bride is actually my cousin so this wedding was a really fun one where even my little one got to attend and dance her heart out at the reception (when she wasn’t ‘assisting’ mommy by clinging to my leg while I photographed said dancing!).

I don’t work often back in Missouri but being home those central MO weddings have a very special place in my heart (session too!). It’s so much fun for me to be back photographing at places where some of my very first sessions took place. There’s nothing more nostalgic than heading back to downtown Columbia, MU campus or even the Capital to photograph again. Add in a super fun bridal party, the sweetest couple, beautiful lighting, the cutest reception decorations plus a good friend second shooting with me and this was a perfect wedding day!

| Alyssa + Corey | Married | Decatur IL Wedding |

Today I’m showing off Alyssa & Corey’s wedding album! I met Alyssa a few years ago and I was thrilled when she chose me to create her portraits for her big day. She and I totally clicked and I swear we chat for 20-40 minutes every time she’s in even for just a pickup. And we are due with our little ones within days of eachother!!

We kicked off this beautiful wedding day at the Decatur Conference Center and Hotel (which has the most gorgeous large and comfy suites that are the perfect getting ready spaces). And that even gave me and the gals a chance to sneak out back for a few images before we headed over to Scovill Golf Course for Alyssa to see her groom and create some more images pre-wedding!

One of Corey’s groomsmen might look a little familiar as he was also one of my grooms this year (you can see his wedding here).
