| Liz & Justin Conn | Millikin Homestead Wedding | Decatur IL |

Today I’m beyond excited to share Justin and Liz’s wedding day with you. I met Liz’s momma YEARS ago when we first moved to Decatur and I worked with a local Mary Kay line to create headshots of all the ladies and I was thrilled when her and Liz got back in touch to tell me that she was getting MARRIED and they wanted to talk to me about photographing the big day. I cannot tell you how sweet these two ladies are and their close relationship reminds me so much of my momma and I every time I see them and watching Liz and Justin come together so full of love and joy was just amazing.

After the session Justin and Liz (and us) got away from the hustle and bustle for just a bit to head over to the beautiful Scovill Gardens and the one special request Liz had was to work in some smoke bombs in someway so, of course, we obliged and it was so much fun.

And then it was time to party! I can describe the epic fun had at this reception with just a few words for you… donuts, caricaturist (yes I had to google how to spell that dang it), locked up toss bouquet and arm wrestling! This was no ordinary reception you guys, we had a blast. But with all the fun and games one of my favorite parts, as always, was the speeches. There was laughter and tears and so so much love.

| Amanda + James Wrigley Wedding Album | Decatur IL Wedding Photography |

I’m so excited to show off Amanda & James’ lovely wedding with you all today. I met Amanda and her momma at the Decatur Bridal Expo this year and they are both the sweetest people that I was so excited when they decided to book Amanda’s wedding there on the spot.

And these guys planned a beautiful wedding day! Often brides approach me with a bit of concern if they don’t want the whole shebang, sun up to sundown coverage of their wedding day. But I actually love the change of pace when I get to customize our wedding coverage to cover just what a couple loves most. Amanda knew she wanted the important portraits on her day with all the people most important to her and James but didn’t want to be on camera all day long. So we did just that… we scheduled just a few hours of coverage to create these portraits, capture their ceremony and spend a bit of time with her and James solo. And our timing was perfect… just as it started to rain we were finished and done and they were off to relax and party the night away.

Below is the final product from their special day and she’ll be picking up her album to show and share in person very very soon!
