Joe & Marissa | Rockford Country Club Wedding

November 1st is one of those dates. The time of year that the weather can go either way. I woke up on Saturday morning to the clearest of skies and cool temperatures. Joe and Marissa deserved an absolutely beautiful day and they sure got it. I remember when I first met these two. They have […]

Curt & Bailey | Oregon, IL Fall Wedding

I get nervous for every wedding but I was extra nervous for this one in particular. Bailey and I were good friends in high school and she’s also a wedding photographer. Oof. What an honor but also made this girl have sweaty palms for 95% of the day (just being honest.. haha). As I started […]

Aaron & Sarah | Green & Gold Wausau Wisconsin Wedding

I was standing in the hotel room talking with Sarah when Ann, Sarah’s mom came in.. We were introduced and then it happened. Ann started tearing up and gave me probably the biggest hug I’ve ever received in my life. It was in that moment that I have never felt more appreciated. I never want […]

Jordan & Morgan | Rochelle Illinois Outdoor Wedding

I walked into Jordan’s family home and Morgan welcomed me with a big hug. You know, not the light arms around the shoulder with a light pat but a full on bear hug (I’m a hugger by nature so it was welcomed in my book).. I instantly felt at home & the acquaintance relationship we […]

Shane & Brittany | Spring Green Wisconsin Wedding

She said she was nervous until she saw Shane. The light filtered through the trees that filled their wedding day full of love and warmth. The weather could not have been more perfect. While reading their vows there wasn’t a dry eye in the room from either laughter or crying. I have never seen a […]
