A blog of our current photography work.
This adorable couple had the perfect day for their Fall nuptials! They were wed outside at the Country Mansion in Dwight, IL - a place we've shot at a time or two before, and it's fun to see how each couple brings their own touch to the space! Dane and Anne are so adorable together that it was hard for us to pick out only a couple of our favorite portraits! Please enjoy our selection of images from their day!

Kat and Gabe's wedding -- what an awesome event! Kat and Gabe redefined "Courthouse Wedding". Their whole day was spent in and around the Lake County, IN Courthouse and it was beautiful. Every detail, carefully crafted by the bride {and friends}, was charming and adorable. I especially loved the table numbers featuring their rescued Border Collie pup, Dr.Winston Von MacNCheese!
Although the weather was slightly disagreeable, we managed to get plenty of outside portraits and the rest were done inside the beautiful courthouse!
Please enjoy a few of our favorites from their wedding:
Congrats again on a beautiful wedding!!

I am so happy that I am finally able to share these family photos with you! We've been talking about getting together for portraits for what seems like years! In these photos you will see a happy little family of 8. Two awesome parents, four little blonde haired cuties and their two gorgeous, newly adopted children. But really, they're a family of 10. Mamma Heather is expecting a baby boy in March -- we can't wait to meet him! And, what you don't see from these photos, is that Karl and Heather are also parents to little Weston who would have been five this past February. These photos are bittersweet, as they were the first family photos taken with their two new children, but without their oldest son.
Jake and I were so moved as each child brought a small memento that represented their brother to them. As the kids held up their objects to be photographed, and I quickly brushed away my tears, I knew that Wes was there with us. Participating in his family's photos.
Karl and Heather are two incredibly wonderful people, passionate about God and family. Jake and I were so honored to do their family photos a just few short weeks ago. All of their kids were so fun, sweet, and beautiful. They really made our job so easy :) Even Spoko, the Golden Retriever, happily hammed it up for the shoot!

We love you guys!

This is the wedding of my cousin, Chris, and his beautiful bride, Allie. Chris and Allie were married on Labor Day morning, in an intimate garden ceremony at the Whitehall Mansion in Lousiville, KY. It's pretty rare that we start our day while it is still dark, in fact, I don't think we've ever started shooting that early! But, both being coffee connoisseurs, Chris and Allie had us covered in the coffee department!
This was such a beautiful wedding, and I'm not just saying that because they're family, and I want to be nice. It was truly one of the most beautiful, personal, sweetest weddings I've ever been to. Chris made almost all the food; Quiche, biscottis, and the most delicious Paninis I've ever tasted. The local coffee shop, Quills did all the coffee -- and although it was their first time doing an event like this, they were fantastic! The baristas were awesome and the coffee was a m a z i n g !
