| Heather + Cody | Springfield IL Spring Wedding Day | Sarah Jane Photography |

As we warm up a bit more this week and get a little glimpse at the coming spring I thought it would be a great day to show off a spring wedding! I had the honor to be a part of Heather & Cody’s big day and what an absolutely perfect and beautiful day it was. With a peacock color scheme this was anything but a dull wedding. It was bright, colorful, fun and full of so much love.

One of my favorite parts of Heather & Cody’s big day was their first ‘not’ look! You all may know I LOVE the first look part of the day. Why? Because it’s a moment for just the two of you. One where we slow things down (which can be a big contrast to what can often be a hectic wedding day). We carve out a few minutes for just you two, alone, to say hello. It’s a moment that’s always charged with energy and excitement, often tears, and lots of love. But even when a couple chooses to save that big first look for the aisle we can still give you a moment to connect without actually seeing each other. For Heather & Cody we created that moment at the train station, where Heather got to walk down the staircase to her groom, give him a hug and even hold his hand without ever revealing her bridal look.

| Amanda & Chad | Engagement Photos Decatur IL | Sarah Jane Photography |

Say hello to Amanda & Chad! They are ENGAGED (whoohoo)!!!! I’m so excited about their fall 2014 wedding, and honored to be a part of their big day. Amanda and I hit it off right away and I was thrilled when they decided I was the photographer for them. It was a gorgeous day so we decided to hang out around Allerton Park for their session (just like for Kiersten’s senior session that I posted yesterday).

I love that locations like Allerton offer so much variety that you can have countless sessions there without producing images that look exactly the same. Decatur is full of gorgeous areas to photograph from the parks and lake areas to the downtown city scape and even grungy back alleys, the possibilities are endless.

Be sure to head over to the Sarah Jane Photography facebook page to see more images from Amanda & Chad’s engagement session and check out their personal gallery where you can show them some love and LIKE their images to help them earn more posts.
