| Amber + Josh | Decatur IL Wedding Photographer |

This weekend I got to meet some brand new 2018 brides and grooms and am so excited to be sharing in some of their big days in the coming year. In the wedding spirit I wanted to share Amber & Josh’s wedding day with you all here!

I had the pleasure of meeting Amber’s dad a few times through speaking at the Decatur Camera Club and it was such an honor that they thought of me when it came time for wedding planning. It’s always a little extra push to photograph for a family with an interest in photography.

These two had a gorgeous day at the Decatur Conference Center and Amber created some beautiful decor with succulents that was so on trend and yet classy and elegant. I’m a big fan of weddings at the conference center not only because their staff really puts on a wonderful event but also because of the photographic locations right at our fingertips inside and out.

I always have fun exploring and we used a back hallway for these two that I hadn’t used before and I love the lighting results. Plus, through a tiny little pathway we discovered a beautiful little meadow out back but favorite of all is the willow tree and pond which was a perfect way to close out our day at sunset.

Another super fun detail of this wedding day is that Amber’s maid of honor was none other than her momma. They were so so sweet and you all know I love the mother daughter moments.

 

| Amanda + James Wrigley Wedding Album | Decatur IL Wedding Photography |

I’m so excited to show off Amanda & James’ lovely wedding with you all today. I met Amanda and her momma at the Decatur Bridal Expo this year and they are both the sweetest people that I was so excited when they decided to book Amanda’s wedding there on the spot.

And these guys planned a beautiful wedding day! Often brides approach me with a bit of concern if they don’t want the whole shebang, sun up to sundown coverage of their wedding day. But I actually love the change of pace when I get to customize our wedding coverage to cover just what a couple loves most. Amanda knew she wanted the important portraits on her day with all the people most important to her and James but didn’t want to be on camera all day long. So we did just that… we scheduled just a few hours of coverage to create these portraits, capture their ceremony and spend a bit of time with her and James solo. And our timing was perfect… just as it started to rain we were finished and done and they were off to relax and party the night away.

Below is the final product from their special day and she’ll be picking up her album to show and share in person very very soon!
