Lyndsey and Matt had a beautiful fall day for their wedding.  A bright blue sky and endless sunshine added even more warmth to a day already bursting with love, joy, and pure excitement.  Surrounded by their family and friends, Lyndsey and Matt promised to spend the rest of their days making each other happy.

They both knew they were blessed to have such caring families, and to have found each other – true love – added that extra touch of sweetness to their lives.  Their story began years ago, where they ran in the same circle of friends in high school.  Little did they know that soon after, and miles apart at college, that their hearts would one day be bound together in love.  Forever.

Lyndsey and Matt, from our first meeting, I could see that sparkle in your eyes when you’d talk to each other and talk about your plans for the future.  I’m so excited for you both, and I wish you all the happiness you could ever hope for.  Thank you for sharing this special time with me, it was truly an honor to document it.  Family and friends of Lyndsey and Matt may view their online gallery here.

 

 

Their day had finally arrived.  The day they didn’t know they had both been dreaming of since the beginning, since they met, perhaps even before then.  Trena and Bob both share a love for life, for joy that comes from helping others, for happiness that comes from being with family and friends.  Most importantly, they love each other.  Their connection is deep and palpable.  Shared glances, bright lingering smiles, their warm hugs, not wanting to let go one second too soon.  Just like that line in that one movie, they complete each other.  And so on a perfectly sweet, misty, romantic Friday in September, they promised a lifetime of love, joy, and happiness with each other among their family and closest friends at Mallow Run Winery.  While some loved ones watched from above, there is no doubt that they too danced with joy at their union.  Trena and Bob, thank you for entrusting me to capture this wonderful day.  It was absolutely perfect and beautiful, just like your love.  I wish you a lifetime of happiness, laughter, and hugs that don’t end one second too soon.  Friends and family, please feel free to view Trena and Bob’s online gallery here. 

 Meanwhile, in the vineyard, Bob waited with excited anticipation to see his bride-to-be for the first time on their big day:

Trena and Bob, thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to share such a very special day with you.  Your families and friends are truly wonderful and welcoming and kind, and I’m so glad to count you all as friends.  Your day was beyond perfect in every way.  I’m so very happy for you both!  Can’t wait to see you soon!
P.S. Thank you to my husband and best friend, Reggie, for all of his help on this day!  I love you!

Happy Fall!  It’s a beautiful fall day, and I just wanted to check in and say hello!  September was a very busy month, and I can’t wait to show you images from some beautiful, spectacular weddings!  October is here, and full of family and senior sessions!  Fall has quickly become a very popular time of year for photos!  All the colorful leaves make for gorgeous images.

Happy Weekend!

With the heatwave that has been hovering over the Midwest this summer, I was wondering if we might possibly melt during Jenny and Eric’s Day After session.  Although after their perfect Plum Creek Golf Club wedding day just two months earlier, I should have known that the weather would follow suit, if only for these two amazing people.  Jenny and Eric have that special quality that attracts people to them.  They radiate happiness and positivity.   And it’s contagious.  In a good way.  It was evident at their wedding, and that same feeling followed us throughout this session.  I left the session smiling and singing my favorite songs all the way home.  Jenny and Eric, I’m so glad we met, and I’m even more glad that we got to spend more time together for some fun with your adorable pup, Miss Vivi!  Thank you for being so wonderful, and for inviting me into your lives.  I’m so excited for your future together!   And now for a few of my favorites from your session!
