| Chelsea + Trey | Hickory Point Golf Course Wedding | Decatur IL |

Chelsea and Trey have been nothing short of amazing to work with. Not only is Chelsea just the sweetest human being but her now husband Trey is hysterical and always kept me on my toes with his sarcasm. Plus….. a little tiny detail of their wedding who stole the show was their little yorkie Squirt. I mean what’s not to love about a wedding day with a dog ring bearer in a tux?!!?!

Even a bit of a rainy windy day could not spoil the fun and joy of their day and I am so so so excited and pleased to share with you all a look inside their wedding album which is now being hand-crafted in Italy to be on it’s way to us very soon.

| 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.

| 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.
