Back in the summer we made a post about Krista + Jake’s wedding from Effingham, IL as well as their e-Session Well we are excited to let everyone know that their wedding story has been published in the The Knot, Real Weddings for St Louis, you can read about it here: The Knot

Carla and Greg were so fun to run around Bloomington with. They are both very humorous people (check out the “Lincoln” photo – hilarious) and it felt like we all laughed our way through the shoot. This is fitting, because afterwards after writing down their names, I realized “Carla + Greg” sounds a whole lot…

Awesome work, every single shot is ready to be blown up. The couple will have a hard time choosing between enlargements. Not enough walls to get them all. Good job!

Take care,

Well done. The Tilt/Shift look is really interesting. Love the colors too.
Nearing the end of the wedding season this was our next to the last e-session of the year and Hannah and Thad who have a June wedding slated for next year were a blast to work with. Katelyn and I are already excited about working with this adorable couple. They came up with the idea…

Hey, I am the one! Who? Father of the bride! Who can beat me in this festival. I am thrilled and grateful for everything including the best photograghy which goes perfectly with the gorgeous wedding. Thank.
If there were one word to describe Marty and Amy’s gorgeous November wedding, it would be emotion. You will see through these pictures that the intensity of their relationship literally jumps off the photos. Such a beautiful array of moments happened throughout the day that we were just dying to capture the emotion. With that…

These photos made me cry, yet again, with tears of joy! As the matron of honor, I was in a position to experience up close the emotions of that day with Marty and Amy, and these photos were like reliving the day all over again. What a treasure it will be for them to have such beautiful memories and emotions of that day captured on film, ready to jump out and come alive at the turn of every page. Bravo Mark and Katelyn, truly an exceptional job!

The photographer did a wonderful job of getting great pictures without being in your face all night. Your pictures look so amazing!
November 7, 2009 - 10:17 am
WOW. The first time I saw these photos (and the many more that aren’t posted here) I was seriously stunned, with a lump in my throat. They are incredible in conveying the ‘look’ Sara and Ben were going for, and more importantly, in communicating the love and extreme happiness within Sara and Ben. Days before the wedding I found out I wasn’t going to be able to get there, and I was incredibly frustrated and sad, but these photos really showed me so much and I’m so happy to be able to experience the celebration through them! Great work!
November 7, 2009 - 11:15 am
AWESOME. What wonderful pictures of a beautiful couple. I too missed the wedding and am thankful to be able to enjoy these incredible pictures of a truly wonderful day.
November 7, 2009 - 12:36 pm
Very nice collection of wedding photos. Love the vintage look.
November 7, 2009 - 1:21 pm
These photos are absolutely gorgeous! They are a great mix of posed and candid shots, and it looks like the whole day was captured beautifully! Congrats Sara and Ben!
November 7, 2009 - 2:04 pm
These photographs fabulously capture the magic of Ben and Sara’s relationship, personal style, and beautiful wedding day. I am going to forward these to my niece who is getting married next year.
November 7, 2009 - 4:08 pm
The wedding and the photos truly reflected who they are both individually and as a couple. The pictures are absolutely beautiful and I’m so happy to have been a part of their special day!
November 7, 2009 - 7:55 pm
As always, I am very pleased with the outcome of Mark’s photography! My senior pictures were beautiful, and these are downright gorgeous. Way to capture Ben and Sara’s personalities!
