Two weeks ago the summer wedding season started back up.  I had the opportunity to shot again with Kellie Penn, (Across the Miles Photography).  David and Kristy’s wedding was a small country wedding.  Kristy had picked beautiful browns and blue for the wedding colors and planned every other detail of the wedding with great taste.   I was so impressed at the reception site.  Kristy’s mom and dad through a big party under tents at their own home by a beautiful pond filled with floating tee lights.  This was a beautiful wedding all around!

Thank you David and Kristy for letting Kellie and I be apart of your special day!  Here are some of the shots that I captured from the day.

Last Saturday Kellie and I shot a wedding in Decatur, IL. Rob and Michelle’s wedding was very beautiful and well thought out in all the details. The couple left the wedding and everyone sent them off with sparklers. One of the other neat details of this wedding was that the bride and groom invited up on stage every person in attendance for a group photo. If you where invited to this wedding and decided not to come for some reason, well this bride and groom will have record that you skipped out.

Rob and Michelle thank you so much for allowing Kellie and I to be apart of your day! Here are some photos from the day.

Last Saturday Jay and Lori were married and I was able to help Kellie Penn (Across the Miles Photography) cover the wedding. The day started at Sunset Hills Country Club in Edwardsville, Illinois, were both the guys and ladies got ready for the big day. Jay and Lori decided that they wanted to see each other before the wedding and we were able to capture the special moment when Jay saw his bride Lori for the first time. It was a beautiful moment when Jay laid eyes on Lori in her wedding dress. The whole day was amazing and beautiful. It was an amazing display of God grace and sovereign hand in all details of life!

Here are a few of my favorite photos from the day:

At every wedding the groomsmen always try to pull some practical joke on the groom to “encourage” or embarrass him before the wedding. Well Jay’s groomsmen decided to write on his chest with Sharpe markers. The picture below captures Jay’s soon to be father-in-law’s message.

The guys decided to play a little blackjack before the wedding.

This picture was taken right after Jay and Lori saw each other for the first time on their big day.

Thanks Jay and Lori for letting Kellie and I capture your day!

Back in September I had the privilege to work with Kellie Penn of Across the Miles Photography. Kellie is a portrait/wedding photographer from Decatur, IL. Kellie also happens to be my cousin and during our family 4th of July celebration we talked about our businesses and she asked me to be a second shooter for her.

The Parker wedding last month was the first time we got to work together. Kellie ask me to cover the tiny details and all of the groom and groomsmen shots. We had a blast working our first wedding together and will be working more together. Here are images from the Parker wedding.
