Emilie & Andy Wedding

This couple was truly a unique couple! They were such a blast to photograph, because every picture whether candid or posed looked so real. I have no idea how they were able to keep smiling the way they dad throughout the day without feeling any pain in the face. :) But they were such a photogenic couple, and some of the best moments took place after to shots of a posed picture, because they were start laughing, and those turned out wonderfully.

One of the best moments I remember from this day was when they were leaving the wedding. The wedding party and I were walking toward the vehicle so that they could head to the reception hall. As Andy opened the door for Emilie, both of them laughing at this point, he said, "Your carriage awaits." And they started laughing. Such a REAL and fun moment, I was glad to be there to snap those shots.

Sara & Stephen Engagement

Talk about a cold day and a way to end 2009. December 31, Cold, Windy, and lots of snow! Sara and Stephen engagement pictures took place in Taylorville, IL, which worked out for me, because I was on my way to Springfield to a friend's house for New Years Eve.

We went everywhere, from a lake house, to the park, the church, the school. It was a great time! Did I mention it was windy? The weather cooperated as well. On my way up, it was cloudy and gloomy, I was worried that the pictures were going to be a flop, but as we got to Taylorville, the sky seemed to just split, the sun was out, some hints of blue sky. It was wonderful!
