Josh & Suz | Wedding

Josh & Suzanne’s Winter Wedding

 

The highest happiness on earth is marriage.  

-William Lyon Phelps

 

When Suzanne asked us if we’d be interested in shooting her wedding, there was a sense of excitement and trepidation. Her & Josh’s special day came with great speed and as the sun dawned that morning and we noticed the snow-covered grounds, we knew this was going to be a wedding to remember.

Suzanne was a beautiful bride – her smile was so big and her eyes shining as she made her way down the isle to the man who would make her his wife.  Josh was the sweetest of grooms – I nearly cried when I saw his emotional smile as Suzanne made her way towards him.  

One thing that we were certain about this wedding was that the everything about it was beautiful. From the beautiful shades Suzanne chose as her wedding colors,  to the smiling faces in the wedding party, to the food that graced the tales, to the bride and groom themselves. There is nothing more wonderful then taking photos of people who are truly happy and full of love. Shooting this wedding was a privilege - and one that will not soon be forgotten.

So without further ado, here are some select shots of their special day.

There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage. -Martin Luther

It ended up being a beautiful day – hardly a cloud in the sky, the sun was beaming brightly and smiles were on many faces. And without further ado, here are a few photographs of Justin & Melinda’s Special Day.

Long, deserted, country roads. Natural lighting. Colorful, Autumn trees. A cool breeze…

Marie Michelle

We insisted that our beautiful friend, Marie Michelle, come with us for a short photo shoot. It was spontaneous. It was at a friend’s outdoor reception party. They live on a farm with beautiful scenery and greenery.

This is the finished product.

 

The Wonder of Bugs

“A three year old child is a being who gets almost as much fun out of a fifty-six dollar set of swings as it does out of finding a small green worm.”  Bill Vaughan

Or in this case a praying-mantis!

::dreaming in color::

It was an absolutely gorgeous day outside!! The trees are changing colors, here in Central Illinois, and the sky was a brilliant, cloudless, blue. The sun was a bit bright for my taste, but we managed to take some decent photos in spite of that fact. *smile* Enjoy!

 

 

sisters

To the outside world we all grow old.  But not to brothers and sisters.  We know each other as we always were.  We know each other’s hearts.  We share private family jokes.  We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys.  We live outside the touch of time.  ~Clara Ortega

Here are a few shot that we took from Justin & Melinda’s engagement shoot. Enjoy!

 

Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.
