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 […]

When the weather throws a wrench in your plans, you can do one of two things: freak out & decide the day is ruined, or you can do what Danielle & Kyle did & embrace it. We were surprised with rain on Saturday & I believe Danielle even said at one point, “I did not […]

After what seemed like a long winter, wedding season is here again! I couldn’t have hand picked a better day or start to my wedding season if I tried. Erica & Ryan made it effortless to pick up right where I left off back in November. Throughout the day, I was charmed by Erica’s go-with-the-flow […]

And just like that, another incredible wedding season has come to a close. I truly could not have hand picked a better couple to end my year. Kelsey & Andrew are one of the most thoughtful & charming couples I’ve had the sweet pleasure of serving. Their day may have been flawless on paper from […]

I will forever keep Jen & Seth’s wedding tucked in a special place corner of my heart! Jen is not only a sorority sister of mine, but her older sister is one of my dearest girlfriends (& sistas) from my days in college. Speaking of college, Jen & Seth got married on my alma mater’s […]

I know I’ve said this before, but one of my favorite things about photographing weddings is that no two are the same. In fact, I saw something I’ve never seen before at Ashley & Ryan’s Mackinaw Valley Vineyard wedding. During their gift exchange, Ryan couldn’t stand hearing his bride’s voice, but not being able to […]

Sniffles echoed through the rows of chairs as Tyler vowed to love his Danielle for the rest of their lives. Blame it on the cool fall day if you want, but the hopeless romantic in me firmly believes Danielle & Tyler’s family & friends were truly moved by Tyler’s tender words & they were crying […]

As I look through these images, I can still hear the squeals & gasps coming from Carley’s bridesmaids when they saw her fully dressed for the first time. It was the sweetest thing! I truly adored everything about sharing in this wedding day—from the Peoria-themed welcome bag given to all the guests at the hotel, […]

And just like that, the last of the Meeks girls is married! I have had the joy of sharing in the weddings of Nichole, Brittany & now Haley over the past four years & I couldn’t be more honored. The Meeks family has been in my life since I was in 4th grade & they […]
