Lauren and Zach’s wedding day was long awaited, but so completely worth the wait! They were originally supposed to get married in May, but covid obviously had different plans for them. They had to push it back to September, chang venues and then make cuts to their guest list, but finally their day arrived and […]

Corey has been one of Dustin’s best friends since childhood and when he started dating Abbie we pretty much became instant friends. I have loved watching them go through their relationship, then get engaged (seriously, Corey proposed after him and Abbie jumped out of a plane together!) and now as they prepare to get married. […]

I was blown away by all of the beautiful details of Olivia and Brayden’s wedding day! They both worked incredibly hard to fix up their own little farm to hold their ceremony on. Olivia thought of seriously everything and Brayden helped to bring it all together. They both worked so hard, even in the midst […]

Laura is one of my best friend’s sisters, in turn making her like a little sister to me! I was so excited when she reached out to tell me she was engaged and that she would like me to photograph her and Toby’s wedding day! These two got engaged on the hill at Southwind Park […]

Danielle and Michael’s wedding day was long awaited, as they originally planned to get married in June, but were forced to push back another month due to covid. They were so patient and so graceful through the whole process and it paid off in the end because they had the most beautiful day! The temps […]

Rachel and Jared were such a joy to photograph for their engagement session! On the day Jared proposed to Rachel, they were exploring a few spots around Springfield before they set out to ride bikes on a trail over the river. When they approached the river, they stopped on a bridge to overlook the water […]

Oh my goodness have I really enjoyed getting to know Madeline and Justin! These two are absolutely adorable together and capturing their engagement session gave me all the feels. Madeline and Justin met their sophomore year of high school and have been inseparable ever since! Justin proposed to Madeline while walking along the shore of […]

I loved traveling up to Downer’s Grove for Sarah and T’s engagement session! These two met in college and after being around them for their session I quickly realized how perfect they are together! They are both such genuinely happy people and I truly enjoyed capturing their love! Downtown Downer’s Grove was poppin’ on a […]

Meredith and Brandon were such a sweet and genuine couple to photograph! They are really excited to get married this year, even if that means a smaller wedding and it is so obvious why! They are both just so in love and care for each other so much and they just can’t wait to spend […]

Ali and Jake are a couple I have loved working with over the years. I have known Ali forever, but I met them as a couple when their sweet Kinsley was born. I have loved watching them grow as a family and when they got engaged I was ecstatic! They have been planning their wedding […]
