| Jill + Danny | Southside Country Club Wedding | Decatur IL |

When I saw Ann (Jill’s mom) walking up to me at last year’s Bridal Show I was so excited!! I learned she was there with Jill to plan her wedding and was thrilled when they decided to have me be a part of another of their family weddings (I photographed Jill’s sister, Maggi’s wedding not long after moving to the Decatur area and went on to photograph the Stewart family growth until they relocated to Arkansas).

Even better, once we got into planning I came to find out that Jill’s step mom was my Mary Kay director, MaryAnn! It’s hard to believe we’ve already been in this area for 6 years but having repeat clients and ‘small world’ moments like this make me so happy we are really becoming a part of this community and I love it!

It was great to get to know Jill and her now husband, Danny and see many familiar faces on their wedding day. They planed a GORGEOUS sunset wedding at Southside Country Club.

| Kylie + Ryan | Decatur, IL Wedding | Sarah Jane Photography |

Working with Kylie and Ryan (and Kylie’s momma, Pam) was a blast! Kylie is the absolute sweetest and I was so happy when she decided to invite us to share her big day with her and I was even more excited to see some familiar faces at her wedding day with past clients being guests and even in the bridal party.

These guys braved the snow for their engagement session with two of their three gorgeous dogs (you all know I LOVE LOVE LOVE when clients bring their fur babies!!). And these two beautiful pups got their model faces on for session day.

Their wedding day was perfect starting at GT Church for a ceremony that had everything you dream of including beautiful music, great laughs and a few happy tears too.

| Brittany + Andrew | Engagement Session | St. Louis, MO |

Awhile back I ran a little fundraiser on our Facebook Page to support a cause very near and dear to my heart and help raise awareness and money for my best friend to attend the Koolen-deVries Syndrome annual gathering and Brittany was our lucky winner!!!

I was excited when she said she’d want to have her engagement session in St. Louis and we naturally chose a couple iconic STL locations: The Arch & Cardinal’s Stadium. We were in for a bit of a surprise when we got to the arch and found that the entire grounds were under construction and torn completely out and surrounded by 10-12′ high fences! We knew it was undergoing some construction but neither of us anticipated NO grass left and no access to any grounds beyond the pedestrian filled paths. So… we improvised! I’m a wedding-photographer so reacting to the unknown and unexpected isn’t new to me and we grabbed a few shots at the base of the arch and decided to venture into downtown to find some greenery elsewhere and we had some great luck.

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m VERY ready for spring and some more of this beautiful weather and pretty flowers.
