meet chelsea and dan.

they are getting married in october, and chelsea is going to be a gorgeous bride!

since i’m obsessed with the gorgeous summer colors from this shoot, there won’t be too many black and whites coming your way. so, enjoy the feel of these next two.


hugging.

kissing.

hand-holding.

yummy evening light and a beautiful smile.

practicing for the wedding day. (i love how you can see her cute pink shoes in the background!)

one of my favs.


playing on the swings.


from the sneak peek.

i think dan was threatening to throw chelsea into the lake in this one…

sunset.

see you soon for your big day!

we love clients that say our pictures give them the warm fuzzies.
we love stephanie and matt.

matching smiles.

“stairing” into each others eyes.

we’re an equally opportunity photographer. if we take a picture with the girl out of focus…

we’ll take one with the guy out of focus.*

ready. set. kiss.

we’ll see you for the b•session!

we met dawn + david downtown for the first part of their e-session. they’re a great looking couple. dawn had the cutest dress that completed the elegant feel of their pictures.


after walking around a while, we ended up at the waterhouse, where their wedding will be this october. the ivy along the sidewalk was awesome.

dawn was an art history major in school, so she was super-excited to have pictures with this massive mural.

next we headed out to my grandparent’s farm for a different feel. the lighting was gorgeous.

hand-in-hand.

i love this moment.

this one, too.

can’t wait for october!

you met our brown-loving accountant and architect yesterday for downtown peoria.
we went out to the golf course for a second location.

you wouldn’t want to hit a golf ball where they were sitting, but taking a camera there isn’t a bad idea.

the 14th tee.

shadows…

and smiles.

i’ve played golf with kalman quite a few times (including the first time he broke par.) lauri’s brother beat me in the tri-county junior finals when i was 13.

lauri & kalman (i couldn’t help it.)

you guys are an awesome couple that are going to be even better in marriage.
