Alexis and Scott are such an adorable couple! They met in high school, stayed long-distance through college and dated for over 6 years before Scott popped the question at Forrest Park in St. Louis. Their wedding day was nothing short of amazing. It was a balmy, 96 degree day (about 120 with the humidity haha!). […]

Alex and Blake’s wedding day was an amazing (and hot) one to remember! It was about 92 degrees with a heat index of 102. It was sticky, Illinois, humidity heat. What I thought would turn out to be a day of frustration from the heat, turned out to be so amazingly beautiful! When I arrived […]

This is going to be a loooong post – but I love these two for so many reasons I just had to share. First off Molly and Kody are Eagles fans, so it was so nice to be in the presence of other champions (LOL), but they also both have the best personalities! Molly is […]

Andrea and Bryan’s wedding was THE most laid back wedding I have ever photographed. These two are so adorably in love, and the whole day was filled with happy tears and so many laughs.

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. Their first date was spent talking on their favorite spot on campus and their love grew deeper over a love for beer and wine – especially […]

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 […]

I am not even sure where to start with these two. All I know is their awesome DJ, JR, said it best at the end of the night that Katie and Kelby set the bar high for the year for all other couples and I completely agree! I knew Kelby back in the day when […]

Travis and Alexa are college sweethearts. They met at Western Illinois University their sophomore year and have been together ever since! Travis asked Alexa to marry him in front of a waterfall at Starved Rock State Park in the most picture-perfect setting. Fast forward to this weekend – the wedding day. Alexa and Travis eagerly […]
