We were all a little worried about the weather on Kimberly and Ryan’s big day but it turned out to be a beautiful day.  We only had about 5 minutes of a light rain and that was it!  Which was great because their ceremony was outdoors at the beautiful Lake Hill Winery in Carthage.  Afterwards […]

Some might tend to think that after all the weddings we have attended each wedding would start to feel the same.  Which I could see how you could think that, but the truth is every wedding is unique.  No two weddings are exactly the same.  Yes, they all have the same purpose, but the love […]

As we all know Midwest weather is unpredictable, and you never know what it is going to do.  Well Amanda and Paul didn’t know what to expect when they set their wedding day for July 30th.  I can honestly say most of us were expecting a hot day, but mother nature was feeling generous because […]

There’s something special about weddings, but there’s something extra special about a small town wedding that has an extra bit of excitement.  Everything about Kelly and Matt’s day was fun and exciting. There may not be another word to describe this day.  Every aspect of it.  From the couple to the wedding party to the girls […]

We all know the quote “Every love story is beautiful, but ours is my favorite.” right?  Well being a wedding photographer we see so many love storys and we have SO many favorites but Stephanie and Aldo’s might just be one of my new favorites.  You see as Walt, their minister, would say Stephanie went […]

We think it’s going to be EASY to spot Caleb and Michelle’s joy in these images!  They love the Lord, their families and their friends and that was evident in every aspect of their day. They were SURROUNDED by so many people who love them. Some of our favorite parts were when Michelle saw her […]

Last fall we captured Lea and Bryce’s engagement photos and were excited to be a part of their wedding this summer.  They were married at Lake Hill Winery this past weekend on a beautiful (but rather warm) June day.   They were surrounded by so many family and friends that were excited to be sharing in […]

Last fall when Kelsey contacted us about photographing their June country wedding we were so excited to be a part of their special day! Unfortunately due to scheduling conflicts we weren’t able to do their engagement photos. We were all a little disappointed because we knew how important engagement sessions are to getting to know […]

Blake and Cassie were married at one of our favorite venues, Lake Hill Winery.   Everything about this wedding was beautiful. There were chances of rain that day but we didn’t get more than a couple drops of rain! It all went around Carthage, and we were able to be outside all day.  Though Cassie […]

We met Alyssa and Joe last fall when we did their engagement pictures at their Alma mater, Illinois College. We always enjoy when we get the chance to do engagement pictures for couples before their wedding day.  It gives us a chance to get to know one another and establish a relationship with one another.
