Married :: Derek and Robin // Brown and Taupe Fall Wedding in Kansas, Illinois

Derek and Robin :: Kansas, Illinois //  This was my second trip to Kansas, Illinois this fall.  Earlier in the fall I traveled their to shoot Derek and Robin’s engagement session and then the weekend of Thanksgiving I headed back over to shoot their wedding.  The wedding and reception was beautiful and I loved the use of brown and taupe as the wedding colors…and her bouquet was AWESOME!!  Enjoy some of my favorites from the day…

Married :: Josh and Andrea // Fall Wedding in Vincennes, Indiana

Josh and Andrea :: Vincennes, Indiana // As I mentioned in their engagement session blog post, I met Josh and Andrea through Kari’s Kreations.  They were married this November in Southern Illinois and their reception was at a brand new venue in Vincennes, Indiana named Highland Woods.  Even though it was a cold and windy day, the entire bridal party was totally willing to freeze their butts off for a minute and go outside for some outdoor photos.  Enjoy some of my favorites from the day.0031_hatfieldwedding

Married :: Jason and Kristen // Eagle Pointe Golf Resort Outdoor Wedding

Jason and Kristen :: Bloomington, Indiana // Last fall I met with Kristen and her dog Bear at my studio…she booked me..and a few days later we shot their engagement session.  They had a very limited time on when they would both be in town for shooting so we made sure while they were both in town for the Thanksgiving Holiday…that we’d get together and get their engagement session photos taken care of.  Their dog Bear was of course included in their engagement session but I was sad to hear that he would not be attending the wedding.  However, even though the most important guest couldn’t attend…it was still an amazing day full of love and laughter.  Enjoy some of my favorites!0034_brightwedding

The father/daughter dance was SO MUCH FUN!  Dad didn’t know..but Kristen had set it up to where half way through their dance the music would change to his favorite song, I’m in a Hurry by Alabama.  It was amazing! Dad was so excited to hear his favorite song and their slow dance quickly turned into a super fun and exciting dance!  It was definitely a highlight of the night!

Married :: Jordan and Jackson // Fall Outdoor Wedding at Castle Finn Winery

Jackson and Jordan :: Marshall, Illinois //  I had a great time shooting Jackson and Jordan for their engagement session (even though it was literally in the middle of nowhere LOL) and I was pretty excited to see what they had come up with for their wedding day.  This was the first time visiting Castle Finn Winery so I was also REALLY excited to shoot somewhere new…and it did not disappoint.  It’s definitely a perfect place for an outdoor wedding and had great photo spots.  The weather had been questionable all morning..but when it was time for the ceremony the weather was perfect..a little windy..but perfect for photos.  With a beautiful couple like Jordan and Jackson it really doesn’t matter what the weather looks like..because the photos are going to look amazing either way. :o)  Enjoy some of my faves!0015_ryleywedding

Married :: Kendra and Tyler // Rustic Purple and Pumpkins Wedding

Tyler and Kendra :: Sullivan, Indiana //   I’ve been so excited to shoot Kendra and Tyler’s wedding… I had so much fun shooting their engagement session and roaming around the country that I knew the wedding would not disappoint.  They took so much time to make sure that every detail of the wedding day was very personal…and even though they had TONS of wedding guests…everything was still so intimate and one on one. I absolutely LOVED it!0082_poundswedding

Married :: Daniel and Maja // Purple, Burlap and Lace Wedding

Daniel and Maja :: Terre Haute, Indiana //  During their engagement session we spent a lot of time on a really fast boat…and while I actually did enjoy my first boating experience, I was SO glad for their wedding I was on stable ground. haha  The dress Maja chose was STUNNING!  Every time I looked at her I thought she looked exactly like a princess..it was beautiful!

I had never photographed a wedding at this church or reception site..so I was super excited to get to shoot at some new places.  We ended up going to Dobbs Park, which was only like a 30 second drive from the church, for all the bridal party and bride and groom portraits…which I absolutely loved shooting at!  Enjoy some of my favorites from the day.

This was definitely another emotional father daughter dance.  The same day that Maja and Daniel was getting married, my best friend was getting married too.  Unfortunately I wasn’t able to make it because I had already booked Daniel and Maja’s wedding when my friend set her date.  (yes folks…when you sign that contract and I tell you I will be there no matter what….i mean it)  My friend had just lost her father a few months earlier…and while I was watching Maja and her father share a very emotional and touching dance…I couldn’t help but think of my friend who was not able to dance with her father at that exact same moment on her wedding day.
