August Wedding

These pictures are way overdue....the wedding was in August!  Rest assured, the bride and groom got their pictures in a much more timely manner.  I just haven't uploaded to share with you!  I traveled to Nauvoo to attend a wedding for some friends and got to take the pictures.  I take way too many pictures, so here are just a few.  Barely a fraction of what I took and sent the new married couple.  We also went to the reception in Elgin, IL.  It was a busy few days of travel.  But worth capturing all the great memories.

I love memories.  Unedited memories of happy times.  I didn't have to edit much, a little here and there.  I like to remember times as they actually were (unless there is a big zit on a forehead or something like that haha!).  And sometimes I like to go black and white, I can't help it - it can enhance a beautiful picture that may not have enough light (or too much light).  The cute couple in the pics below made my editing life easy because virtually every pic came out picture perfect.  Enjoy!


When driving into Nauvoo, there were beautiful Lily Pads all over the river.

I love this!

Little Miss Z

I was so fortunate to be able to take pictures for my neighbor!  Well she isn't technically my neighbor anymore.  We moved in April, out of state, and the probability of me being up to take pictures when she had the baby, was pretty small.  Baby Z came a little early and perfect timing for a short trip we were taking up to the Chicago area.  She was the perfect model.  She slept most of the time!  She has beautiful skin and looks just like a doll!
