Congrats again to Leanne and Dusty!  And thanks again!

Leanne + Dusty | Springfield IL Wedding Photographer

Congrats Leanne and Dusty!  Julie and I know Leanne and Dusty as they’re both Plains grads, so it made the wedding especially enjoyable.  Leanne and Dusty, as you can see, couldn’t have been easier to photograph.  In fact, when I was going through to select some pics to blog, I had about 40 of just them, not to mention the wedding party, ceremony, reception, etc.  Some of my favorite images of the day were at the reception during toasts…perhaps I’ll get those up another day.  For now, I have to run to shoot a wedding, so here’s some pics of just the bride and groom.  Congrats again!

I’m rushing to get everything done before the Friday dinner bell, so I’m posting a few pics of two sessions, both on the same day, and both wanted fall colors.  Funny how that works in Oct.  Here ya have it.  Congrats guys — looking forward!

Elise Marie | Springfield IL Children Photographer

Meet little Miss Elise Marie.  Too bad Trager wasn’t around when she had her session…he may have blushed a little at this cutie.  Lauren (mom) swung by for a session as a gift to to her husband who has been serving on duty oversees.  I’m grateful to your family for your service and sacrifice!

Emily + Josh | Springfield IL Wedding Photographer

Congrats to Emily and Josh on their recent engagement!  They’re planning a May 2010 wedding and I’m so thankful to have met them, which first happened to be at a cornhole tourney at Western Oaks to support Jump for Joel.  Turns out Emily won a $100 gift card to Shultz Photography, which is groovy.  Josh is the youth pastor at Central Bap.  Follow his tweets.  However, Em is a bit cooler so follow her too.  Best to you two!

Taylor + Gavin | Springfield IL Wedding Photographer

Congrats Taylor and Gavin! Awesome outdoor wedding at The Rail.  Thankfully, what started as a washout ended up being perfect weather.  Best wishes to you guys in the future, and since you’re around here, hopefully we’ll stay in touch!

Joanne + Mark | Springfield IL Wedding Photographer

Thanks Joanne and Mark!  Since the first day we met last year, you two have been nothing short of wonderful and gracious.  Looking forward to staying in touch!

Oh, and Mark, I have your back.  Abe was an a-hole that day.

Kinsey + Chase | Central IL Wedding Photographer

Kinsey and Chase, amazing day and a fantastic couple.  Chase is a cowboy (meaning he works on a ranch folks) and he found himself a girl ;-)  So, you can imagine how excieted I was when the owner of a nearby pasture let the cows out at sundown.  I mean, seriously??  Cool.  Well, the wedding had a great country theme and everything about it complimented the kind and generous spirit of Chase, Kinsey, and their families.  Best wishes!
