I couldn’t narrow down this preview from a wedding I shot in Mexico. There were just too many good times to share. You may remember Jared and I went to Mexico and captured Jeff and Ellen’s wedding.

Today is Jared and I’s 10 year anniversary. That just sounds wrong. How could it be? It feels like it’s gone so fast, yet our wedding day seems like such a long time ago. We seem like two totally different people then the people I see in these photos. Not a good different or a […]

Peoria sometimes surprises us and while the weather channel says 80% chance of rain, what they are really saying is… we have no clue what percent chance. As a wedding photographer, that little icon with the cloud and lightning can cause people planning a wedding to panic. Not Andi & Michael. These two enjoyed every […]
