Rain came down sideways the morning of Rachel and Jared’s wedding day. Rachel was putting her final touches on as we watched it pour, but she kept so calm and had so much faith. Later, I found out that Jared’s grandmother told them she would send a rainbow to them on their wedding day and […]

I had been looking forward to Michelle and Charles’s wedding day for quite some time now.

I felt instantly comfortable with Sarah and Justin after their first few poses. They told me they were awkward in front of a camera but Justin pulled her close and they instantly starting giggling through it all. We explored downtown Springfield first and then made our way to a gorgeous open field at sunset. I […]
