A Step ‘Outside The Box’ – Bloomington, IL – Photo Booth

So, we decided take the plunge this Fall and step ‘Outside The Box’ with our wedding reception photography by offering a photo booth, of sorts. We’d done a few weddings where our brides/grooms hired a specialty company with an actual booth that took four shots while you were inside said booth.…

Leslie & Chuck – Bloomington-Normal, IL – Wedding

bloomington-wedding-photography_0408

One of our favorite parts about booking weddings is getting to know our couples – being their photographer feels more like being part of their families, and that’s important to us. Leslie and Chuck were pretty comfortable in front of our lenses on their wedding day, but we’d already spent a couple hours together on a hot, sticky, humid day surrounded by cicadas during their engagement session.…

Ken & Gary – Normal, IL – Civil Union

You know how in life there are those moments when you meet a couple, and you get to talking about what they do, where they live, how they met, etc. And then you ask, “Well, where are you from?” Yeah, that last one got us with Ken and Gary because Gary replied, “I’m from a really little village in Logan County that no one has ever even heard of.” To which Bill responded, “Try me.” And when Gary said, “Middletown,” Bill and I laughed.…

Sadie & Gary – Carlock/Bloomington, IL – Wedding

From the moment that they walked into our booth at a couple of local wedding shows, we were hooked! Their engagement sessions–yes, two!–were laid back, relaxed and enjoyable, so we were pretty sure their wedding day would be the same; we were right.…

Jody & Steve – Bloomington, IL – Wedding

Some of the most artistic shots occur for us when we’re given three components: A) environmental cooperation i.e., location/weather, B) time and C) trust. With Jody and Steve we pretty much had the latter two from the get-go, but on their wedding day over Labor Day Weekend, that environmental cooperation thing (and yeah, I totally made that up…lol) was hit or miss.…

Lindsay & Nate – Engagement Session – Wyoming, IL

Sometimes, I wish we could do destination weddings. But we’d miss our children. Too much. That said, we’d love to head to Mexico later this month to shoot the tropical nuptials of Lindsay and Nate. Why? Because they’re fun! And it’ll be gorgeous!!…
