Mallory and Daniel had the perfect day for their wedding. It all began at the same church that her grandparents and parents exchanged their wedding vows. Emanuel Lutheran is located in the tiny of Altona. As the ceremony ended the newly married couple and the bridal party boarded the transportation for a trip to Tolley Farms. This would be the perfect backdrop for these two farmers (who happened to meet at a FFA meeting) and their family and friends to be photographed. It was an awesome new experience for us as the couple desired to be emersed in their everyday world. So, we got up close and personal with a herd of cattle and played around in some soybeans and corn. We gained a new appreciation for these people that dedicated their lives to feeding America. They are very committed people. Mallory and Daniel have great role models to look to as they were both born and raised in farming families.

It wasn't a surprise that the couple celebrated their wedding with the reception being held at the "Big Red Bar" in New Windsor, Il. It was a lot of fun for everyone. Although we didn't want to say good bye that evening. This family has become like an extension of us as Daniel was the 4th and last Tolley wedding from this generation that we will photograph. We have throughly enjoyed getting to know and photograph all 4 kids weddings and continue to be inspired by their parents and grandparents. They have all modeled what love and family is all about and we wish them all lifetimes of happiness!!

On July 16th, Kristy and Daniel began their day with a first look next to the long row of zinnias growing in her parents back yard. These flowers had much significance as they would be the center pieces for the reception that evening. The day continued with a lot of meaning as the ceremony took place in the couples home church, Elevate, in Morton, IL. From their the celebration with friends and family at the Pekin Country Club was full of laughter and memories.

The bride along with the help of many including her sister (soon to be married as well), put a lot of unique and fun elements into the day, from the picture frames hanging from the trees to the cakepops from Starbucks, this was a wedding celebration that won't soon be forgotten.

We wish Kristy and Daniel a lifetime of unforgettable moments together.

Tue, 19 Jul 2011 09:49:09 -0600

What a beautiful day this Colorado couple shared in Lauren's hometown of Peoria. IL. The day began with relaxed preparations at her parents home. There was anticipation in both the bride and groom as they waited to see each other as she walked down the isle to start the picture perfect ceremony set at "the castle" on Grandview drive. It was officiated by a very special friend of the family. As the wedding concluded, the guests mingled on the terrace while enjoying cocktails and live music. The weather couldn't have been anymore perfect. As cocktails came to an end the real celebration began at the County Club of Peoria. It was a beautiful night filled with meaningful wishes, good food, and a lot of dancing. This perfect day all came together with the assistance of Beth Maxwell and her staff.

We wish Lauren and Dean a lifetime filled with many more celebrations and happy memories like this most special weekend.

Kristin and Tim {St. Louis Wedding Photographers}

Sat, 02 Jul 2011 06:08:48 -0600

All the years of waiting for this special day, finally happened for Kristin and Tim on June 4th, 2011. St. Louis was their city of choice and the 9th Street Abby, the perfect location for both ceremony and reception. The couple began their day together with a private greeting at The Muny, where Tim surprised Kristin with the coveted robin egg blue box wrapped in a white ribbon. (the one package that makes every girls heart stop - a box from Tiffany's) Such a romantic way to start off an already magical day for these two. After a meaningful ceremony came to a close, the guest enjoyed an outdoor cocktail hour as the ceremony site was quickly turned into reception location. The guests enjoyed an Italian feast that would give them the energy they would need to keep up with the bride and groom on the dance floor. I haven't seen a couple dance that hard in a very long time. As the evening came to a close, the couple were sent off on their honeymoon through a path of sparklers.

We hope that Tim & Kristin's love for each other grows stronger every year.

Jason and Sarah {Galena,IL Wedding Photographers}

Galena is such a quint little town. It was the perfect location for Sarah & Jason to celebrate their wedding weekend on May 27th, 2011. The wedding day activities actually took place in the tucked away location of Oak Hill where a 150 year old country church became the perfect setting for their ceremony. As the ceremony came to a close the guests made their way over to the white tent for the reception. On their way, they were greeted by a pasture full of grazing horses. The tent danced with kelly green, canary yellow, and white. Sarah did such a great job bringing her many ideas to life with the fun and playful approach to the decor.

We wish Sarah and Jason a lifetime of happiness and love as they begin their new life as husband and wife.
