I love second shooting weddings! It’s so much fun to not be in control. To get to step back and pay attention to what’s happening. To catch the little moments in between the lead photographer may miss while they’re busy getting the important shots. Emily and Jay’s wedding was no different. It was a beautiful …

Tyler & Sarah Engagement | Rock Springs, Decatur, IL | Engagement Photography
I was super, super excited when Sarah called to schedule her and Tyler’s engagement session! I met with them a few months ago to discuss their wedding and I was so excited to get a chance to spend some more time with them! I’ve known Sarah for years! Her older brother was in my brothers …
Bruce & Casey Evans Wedding | Brad O Clen, Arthur, IL | Wedding Photography
I had been looking forward to Casey and Bruce’s wedding for quite a while… Ever since we first started talking about it back at Lady Palooza in Mt. Zion earlier this year! I really couldn’t have been more blessed to get to work with two such sweet and upbeat people! I have to say – …
Wedding Guest Etiquette | Some Tips from a Photographer
I’ve thought about writing a post about this for some time and just hadn’t gotten around to it. But as we’re approaching our September wedding I thought this would be a good time to finally put together this blog post about wedding guest etiquette. At this point in my career I’ve been to and worked …
Tiffany & Everett Castle Wedding | Groveland, IL | Wedding Photography
This past Saturday, Ryan and I trekked up to Peoria, IL to celebrate Ryan’s cousin’s wedding. It was a small wedding of maybe 20 people in attendance (including the bridal party) but this sweet couple wouldn’t have had it any other way! There’s something very intimate and personal about these small weddings. The day becomes …

Second Shooting Gig: Kelly & John’s Springfield Wedding
I decided for today’s Wednesday blog post – I’d share some of my second shooting images from Kelly and John’s Springfield Wedding last year. This is another wedding I second shot with Sarah Jane Photography and we had a blast. As before I’ll remind you these are either candid moments or shots that Sarah posed. …

I’m so excited to be sharing Cody & Breanna’s wedding with you today! This was a super fun wedding! It was a small and intimate affair that took place in Breanna’s parents’ backyard underneath a very cool tree next to a pond. We were lucky enough to have a little cooler weather on their big …
My First Second Shooting Gig: Breanne and Brian’s Wedding
There’s this wonderful thing about the photography community. I’ve talked before about there being two distinct groups: the bitter, secluded group and the excited, eager to share group. I’ve been lucky enough to find other like-minded photographers who feel the same way I do and share my enthusiasm too 🙂 I’ve been lucky enough to …
