| 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.

 

| Wedding Album Design | Decatur IL Photographer |

You might remember last month that I highlighted a past client of mine and the recent first year album we’d created for them. The Stewarts were long-time clients but the distance when they moved to Arkansas made it pretty impossible for us to continue to do their milestone portraits for their second son but it did not stop us from creating one of our signature products for them!

But, you may not know that you don’t have to be a PAST client of Sarah Jane Photography to take advantage of our awesome product line and custom-designed products! Nope, you don’t have to have ever had a session here. While these days many clients want digital images (me too, with our own family portraits) often you find that after having them for awhile all those good intentions to print, hang and share them haven’t actually happened (me too – I STILL haven’t designed our own wedding album!). But not to worry, I can take all that off your to do list and work with you to create beautiful wall art galleries for your homes, from one or a decades worth of sessions and we can even create the wedding album of your dreams.

Which is exactly what I just did for this lovely couple. And what’s even better, this wedding album was a SURPRISE anniversary gift from the bride’s momma (how thoughtful and creative is that?!?!).

Plus, tune in soon and I’ll show you how we can even upcycle OLD family canvases on the wall into anchor pieces for your wall gallery – especially if you don’t like the images anymore.
