Jamie and Ryan were married over Memorial Day Weekend, and what a beautiful weekend it was.

Between the wonderful yet hot weather, and a beautiful ceremony, and fun reception, the day was great.

Enjoy the story of their day.

Jamie and the girls before the ceremony

The ceremony was full of Joy

I love this image of the kids coming down the isle. The looks on their faces, and those of the guests just makes me smile.

After the ceremony we headed to a small park for some portraits of the groups. It was SO HOT outside, so later as the night cooled down, I took Jamie and Ryan out for a few more portraits.

Jamie looks beautiful here!

One of the groomsmen was a chiropractor, so before the wedding party walked into the reception he offered a quick adjustment to who ever would like one.

Jamie and Ryan had a great first dance, but the best one had to be at the end of the night when they danced to some hip hop together.

By this time the weather was so much cooler (85 vs 95) or so we imagined

After our quick (less than 5 minutes) portrait session, i was grabbing my gear and saw Jamie and Ryan both wiping tears from their eyes, its that love and emotion that makes me love shooting weddings.

I hope you enjoyed the photos, Keep an eye out for more upcoming weddings.

Jamie, Ryan, thanks for having me as a part of your day.

I wish you both the best together.

I shot a beautiful wedding last weekend, and while I was shooting the portraits, I got a wonderful phone call from my little sister Krista, announcing her engagement to the man of her dreams, and now my soon to be brother in law! It feels so weird to say that! They came into town this weekend, and after a bite to eat at the Bistro to Go, I decided to grab some quick photos of them as we walked around the North Side to the park near the Aviary and down around the Mexican War Street area.

Here is the video from my sisters engagement that my other sister Ellie, and their friend Stance shot of the moments leading up to the surprise engagement.

We are going to shoot more photos when the weather cooperates and they are dressed more for the occasion, but this was just an impromptu mini session. They were totally uncomfortable with the camera, but their laughter, and mannerisms really came through in the photos.

Enjoy their life, love, and adventure.

I am so excited for them, and can’t wait to help them plan their wedding. I am also excited to be shooting their portraits. This will help me understand even better, what planning a wedding really takes!

I’ll be posting the wedding from last weekend over the next few days, as well as a mini project that I have been working on.

Blessings.

I love Christmas time. Not only because if the real meaning, and celebration, but because I get to spend time with my whole family, and its not just dinner.

The three girls that never come in and out of my life :) and aren’t afraid to torture me when a new one enters.

I love these pictures of my parents! It shows their personalities so well, and it captures nearly two decades of winters on the farm.

Ellie and Krista live in D.C. now, so it was nice to grab a few portraits of them together on the farm.

Krista and dad used to spend mornings rowing on Donegal Lake, but since it was most likely frozen, this was a nice fun tribute.
