Floral Design: Lily Belle
Owner Ashley Robbins is an up and coming area florist who I see making her mark in a beautiful way in the coming years. Not only does she have a fabulous sense of style, color and arrangement but her personality is what will seal the deal for brides. SO excited about what she does – her whole heart is in her job and her enthusiasm is absolutely contagious. I cannot wait to see what beautiful creations await me at weddings or shoots she is a part of.

Hair: Tara Hardy – do your wedding day hair a favor and call her at Indigo Hair and Color Bar (309) 693-5556 – she is an updo genius, both Christy and I absolutely LOVED her hair. Allen did too 🙂

Couple: Our beloved best friends Christy and Allen and their dog-child Pidge. These two were married 2 years ago this coming January so we definitely wanted to do some non-freezing temperature images. No, they’re not professional models – hard to believe though that may be. They just have the two things that makes an image unforgettable…complete comfort with eachother and love love love. That and striking good looks 😉 Seriously, I’m always jealous of these dark haired folks – they always photograph SO beautifully. I always love to mention their ballroom studio, so if you’re lookin’ to learn yourself some real good fancy-like dancin’ and such – get in touch!

All in all it was a fabulous weekend and I couldn’t be happier to just get out and shoot for fun and run around in the burrs and wilderness with wonderful friends. Again – these types of shoots are my FAVORITES so if you are interested in something like this for either your engagement session or after session – please drop me a line! I will smile for days.
