Mr. & Mrs. Wells {Decatur, IL}

Two weekends ago I had the opportunity to shoot with  Kellie Penn (Across the Miles Photography), Blake & Rachelle’s wedding.  It was a beautiful summer day, actually not a very usual July summer day.  They were blessed to have a cool and sunny day with a touch of cloud cover, aka – great photography conditions.   Glad Tidings Assembly of God Church is one of the most unique churches I have ever been in.  The colors, layout, and design of the building were very cool and yet functional.  It reminded me of Willow Creek Church in Chicago, IL.   Enough about the place, what about the couple… The couple chose to see each before the service.  That is always a special moment for the couple and I have to say it’s pretty amazing to witness as a photographer.  Blake and Rachelle exchanged gifts before the wedding and Blake, you’re the man.  Blake gave Rachelle some incredible rings and a necklace to complement her ring, however he didn’t stop there! Blake also purchased a beautiful tennis bracelet for Rachelle.  Kudos my friend.  I thought the service was so personal and not a “message in a can” service because Rachelle’s brother married them and did a great job officiating the service.   This was one special wedding!  Thanks guys for allowing Kellie and I help you capture your special day!  Here is a sneak peek of the day:
