Jonah+Abby | Beautiful wedding day!

Saturday, December 17, 2011

This one is coming out of the vault! It is from June, but too beautiful not to share! I have been friends with Abby since middle school and photographer her sister’s wedding,  so I was honored when Abby and Jonah asked me to photograph their wedding. I remember when her and Jonah very first started dating. Seems like soooo long ago. The day was filled with beautiful people and beautiful details and was a great kick off wedding season!

Abby got her hair done at Studio 61 in Ft. Madison. They always do an awesome job!

Nauvoo Illinois Temple Wedding and Ring Ceremony | Patti+Aaron

Monday, August 29, 2011

Patti and Aaron were sealed in the Nauvoo Temple, then gathered with more friends and family at the Willard Richards Inn in Nauvoo for a ring ceremony. Their vows to each other were beautiful, and YES I did cry! What a truly beautiful couple, inside and out. I could feel the love between them as I spent the afternoon with them. I just love it when couples just seem to fall into each others arms and just “fit”.:)

Sometimes it is easier to let the pictures do the talking.

 

 

 

 

 



Congratulations, guys. I wish you all of the happiness in the world.

Nauvoo Wedding Photographer | Audra+Trevor Temple Wedding Pictures

Saturday, August 20, 2011

Audra and Trevor were an awesome couple. When I met with them at the temple in Nauvoo it was sprinkling on and off. I was praying that the rain would go away, and for the most part it did! I always keep a stash of umbrellas in my car for situations like this and it just so happened the pink one matched PERFECTLY! I loved that they were completely open to anything and had no problem traipsing around in the rain to get some beautiful images. That’s my kind of couple!:)

Beautiful as always!

Susan Howell - August 23, 2011 - 12:52 pm

Wow! The pictures are great and I can’t wait to see more. Somehow they are much better than the ones we took. I am surprised at how much I like the black and white ones.

Randy Howell - August 24, 2011 - 8:15 pm

These pictures are amazing. I love the Black and white ones. I especially like the picture of them in front of the temple that is black and white. Great job!!
Thanks,
Father of the Bride (ooo I like that phrase)

Audra Brown - August 28, 2011 - 12:37 am

Love them cant wait to see the rest

Emely (Sister Perez) - August 28, 2011 - 1:05 am

CONGRATULATIONS to both!

Sister Howell (yes, still “Howell” for me) I still clearly remember both of us walking on the Lord’s errand on the streets of “St. Geezy” (St. George, UT 2/09) at the end of my 1st transfer out in the field & the missionary-heartfelt talk we had (although we were just companions for like a day.)

Now, you still continue to walk on the Lord’s errand, not in our full time mission, but in your eternal mission. What a blessing, and opportunity.

Congratulations today and forever. And, like our senior VC missionaries used to say, “Carry on Sista’!

ps. The temple of both of your missions are the more similar to each other, and that is very unique!

Andy - August 28, 2011 - 2:38 am

What a sweet couple! Congratulations on not just getting married, but sealed for time and all eternity! Never take that for granted!
Also, great job picking a photog! They are wonderful pix!

Chelsea - August 28, 2011 - 5:33 pm

These turned out beautiful! You two are so cute.

Barbara Brown - August 29, 2011 - 12:08 pm

What beautiful pics, and what a beautiful bride!!! I think my favority is the one in downtown Nauvoo… and I love the pink umbrella…nice touch! What an incredible few days that was!

Illinois LDS Wedding Photography | Rose & Nick’s Nauvoo Temple Wedding

Tuesday, August 16, 2011

It’s no secret that wedding season is one of my favorite times of the year. I have been so busy photographing and getting to know all of the couples who come to Nauvoo to be sealed in the temple. There are no words to explain how amazing it is to experience their connection and excitement and to be able to capture it for them to hold on for the rest of their life.

I met Rose and Nick at Grandpa John’s Cafe for lunch a few days before their wedding and I could immediately see their chemistry. It was no different on the day of their wedding. It was scorching hot, probably one of the hottest days of the year, but neither of them said a word or complained about the heat. They were just so happy to be together. That really says something to me! Enjoy a few shots of Rose & Nick!

From one artist to another – kudos!
