Erica & Chris Lockett - Kickapoo Creek Winery

I had so much fun photographing this couples wedding in Kickapoo Creek Winery.  The weather was perfect, everyone looked amazing and the setting was incredible.  I love the colors and the style this couple chose for their wedding which added nicely to this perfect day.

I met this couple at a wedding reception the year prior.  I was going around to each table at the reception taking pictures of the couples and families.   What I didn't know at the time was that picture I took was their first professional picture and when they saw the image, they decided that I would be their photographer for their special day.

One year later on late summer day, these two were married on a beautiful winery back in the cut of Central Illinois.  Cheers to Erica & Christopher Lockett.......

Little Women

These two little women captured my eye on "Day 1" at the Kral wedding rehearsal and were the epitomy of cuteness througout the weekend.  They were so excited about the day and looked very cute in their dresses.  In this picture they were gazing out from the hotel room down to the front entrance.  It was so cool as they called out "We See Marines", as they caught a glimpse of the groom and his brother dressed in their "Marine" dress blues.  The moment was so cool that I had to get this shot.  More from this wedding soon.

There're Going Places

This year has been a year of growth for me as a photographer which culminated in the shooting of four weddings. I have had the opportunity to travel to as far east as Jamaica and west as Washington State. Four beautiful brides each with their own stories and "shades of beauty". From friends to family, fiancee of mentees to first time acquaintances. Each wedding, setting and couples story was different and I truly appreciated the opportunity to be part of the "record of their special day".

I have already posted shots from my first wedding and I plan on posting photo's from the others In the meantime here are several of my "favs" from the young people who added to their special day. More to come....
