Rebekah + David - Springfield, Illinois Wedding

---

This was such a joyful wedding day! Hopping around Springfield with these two was so much fun, and their wedding was so special.

The ceremony was at Edwards Place, one of the most unique spaces I’ve had the pleasure of shooting in. We moved over to the reception at the Springfield Motor Boat Club, which is a space I know is so important to Rebekah and David. In fact, each location was meaningful to them in some way, and it was so special to be brought along in the story that day!

Also, the dancing got REAL goofy near the end. Take a peek at some of the highlights!

Emma + Kurt - Marion, Illinois Wedding

After Emma and Kurt’s engagement session, I knew I was in for a treat with these two.

The loving family, friends and gorgeous weather framed their wedding day so perfectly.

And they even let me steal them for night portraits. How neat is that??

Pretty neat, I’d say! See some of my favorites below.

Katie + Kyle - Hermann, Missouri Wedding

---

Katie and Kyle's wedding was a HAWT one! But it was also so, so, so good. You could easily tell that every single person on this lovely day had so much love and joy for the bride and groom.

And that makes for some good partying! 

I did Katie and Kyle's engagement session back in February (which seems like forever ago), and to see them again and to be given the honor to do their wedding day was such a joy.

David + Gianna - St. Louis, Missouri Wedding

Let me hit you all with a couple of cold, hard FACTS.

1) This wedding was downright awesome. Goofy moments and belly laughs and tears abound. 

B) The cake at this wedding was very good. The dancing was also very good (see below, it's worth the scrolling)

3) David and Gianna are basically perfect together and it showed through every moment of the day. Some parts of the day were a bit cold, and they just snuggled down and were troopers for it all. Awesome.

Grant + Mikhaela - Edwardsville, Illinois Wedding Photography

On a hot and sunny Friday in southern Illinois, two beautiful goofballs got nervous, got teary-eyed, got married, and got to partying. Grant and Mikhaela are absolutely hilarious, and absolutely in love. Check out some of my favorite images from that day!

The ceremony was at Newsong Fellowship and the reception was at the Leclaire Room.

P.S. - Also watch out for a mustache selfie hidden within this post...
