I have loved Haley and Alex’s story from the very beginning. They met in college after many run-ins at the library, Haley finally asked Alex to her sorority formal.

Rainy wedding days can very often be very challenging, but with Katie and Aaron you would never have known it rained if their wasn’t photographic proof! These two handled the weather thrown at them with grace and perfection! The morning started off so relaxed. Katie was surrounded by her bridesmaids as she got hair and […]

Travis and Alexa are college sweethearts. They met at Western Illinois University their sophomore year and have been together ever since!

It all started in the sand. On a perfect summer night, beneath the lights of the volleyball court, Chase met his beautiful bride-to-be, Emma over a friendly match. I wasn’t there but I am sure Emma impressed Chase with her thrilling spikes and Chase followed with his wise, older man charm (sorry Chase, just one […]

Wow, this year was one for the books! We had 24 gorgeous weddings to photograph in 2017 and they were definitely top notch! I got to check out 8 venues I have never photographed at before and hung out with so many amazing couples. Witnessing true love between two people is by far the best […]
