Your wedding day is full of joy; Tomorrow you cannot see.
But one thing’s sure for the two of you: The best is yet to be. ~Joana Fuchs
Brook & Christopher were married in Bethalto, IL (my hometown!) The day was filled with lots of laughter, the rain held off until the reception, and every detail fell perfectly into place. We went to the home where Christopher grew up for the photos after the ceremony & it was an amazing area for their portraits. Everyone was so relaxed & was so much fun to be around…I am so honored that I was there to capture it! (special thanks to my friend, Holly, for tagging along with me that day!!)

What will you remember the most from your wedding day? All of the friends and family that came together to share our special day with us.
Funniest memory from your wedding day? One of the bridesmaids and one of the groomsmen missed the step up at the head table when everyone was walking in and they wiped out in front of everyone!
Any advice you would give to future brides and grooms? Do not stress out about the little things, everything will fall into place exactly how you envisioned it.
Would you change anything if you did it all over again? I would not change one thing about the day!
Where did you go on your honeymoon? Have not went yet, but will be going to Hawaii later this year.
Kellie! These are stunning. I wish I had half of your talent. Awesome, awesome job!
I absolutely love all of these pictures! I cannot wait to see all of them. You are a very talented photographer!
