My time with Anna & Luke at their engagement session was so fun. With the amazing September evening sky overhead, I loved laughing & getting to know these two on Saturday evening. When we weren’t chatting, you could hear the faint sound of the local restaurant’s band playing—talk about the perfect setting for a session! […]

It has always been a quiet dream of mine to watch a once Lauren Anderson Senior become a Lauren Anderson Bride, so when Sydney’s mom told me wedding bells are on the horizon, I was thrilled (while feeling slightly old)! It is always so exciting to walk with my clients through their major life events, […]

One of my favorite parts of a wedding day is watching how beautifully my couples are celebrated. It’s such a weightlessly joyful feeling to see family & friends rally around two people in love. For Bre & John, this was especially true. Their perfect August wedding was centered around the love they share while remembering […]

  This morning I was reminded of a simple truth: I don’t have to do what I do, get to do this. I get to share in & serve my couples on one of the happiest days of their lives, I get to use my gifts & abilities to create lifelong memories, & I get the opportunity […]

I recently heard the number one thing people remember about weddings is the temperature—whether they were hot or cold.

What do you get when two people fall in love through the circus? One heck of a party! Karissa & Brian met through their university’s circus while attending Illinois State University & their wedding was a perfect tribute to every “act” of their love story. From their first look at ISU’s “Love Bench” to their […]

  I have never served a couple who anticipated their wedding with such joy & excitement. Megan & Jeremy were ecstatic for their wedding, adored their team of vendors, & enjoyed the entire process from engagement to “I do” with a genuine, contagious spirit. It was purely because of these two that I found myself looking […]

  Wedding days never disappoint to deliver sweet moments, but it’s the goosebump-giving moments that take my breath away. I’ll never forget standing in the back of the church during the ceremony when the officiant turned to Dakota & said in the most tender voice, “But my goodness, how you love her.” And just like […]

Brianna & Prestin’s love story rivals that of any fairytale I’ve ever heard. These two are preschool sweethearts! Yep—I said preschool! It dawned on me during their first dance as husband & wife that these two don’t really know life without each other. How amazing is that? Truly, I could go on about what made […]
