Kelli :: Bridal "Day After" Motion

A sheep pasture. 


That's where we took Kelli for her bridal shoot a few days after the wedding!   A couch, a chandelier in a tree, and an old bicycle made for a unique session.  The great thing about a Bridal Shoot, or "Day After" session is that you're not under the same time and location constraints that come with a wedding day schedule.  There's no guests waiting, no bridal party sitting around until it's their turn... just you, looking fabulous, and getting some great images!



We fused still images with moving ones, and we call it Motion Photography!  Check it out!

Kelli+Cody, JJ+Megan :: Double Wedding!

We've heard some great stories over the years of working with couples... how they met, how he proposed, that sort of thing.... and found out that from skydiving, to cooking classes, to learning a new language, to traveling the world, there is nothing that will stop love when it's on a mission!  These stories are where we take our inspiration as photographers. True art comes from the soul, and when we have a bit of a storyboard to go off of, that's when we feel we can really shine.


We've been so blessed to get to know these two sisters, Kelli and Megan, and their fiancé's, over the past year or so.  Those of you who follow our work have come to know Kelli + Cody as "The Fareway Couple", in reference to how they met at the meat counter of a grocery store, as well as the location for their engagement photo shoot with us.  Megan and Jarvis met at a local fair called Sauerkraut Days when they were 16, and as each couple relived their story to the guests at their reception, you could still hear and feel the emotion that is tied to those memories as if it were yesterday. 


"Kelli + Cody, Megan + JJ:  We are so fortunate to have been a part of your lives, and have enjoyed each and every visit with you, from consultations to your GP Movie Premiere.  You four have a wonderful bond with each other, and we consider it an honor that you would trust us to capture your wedding!  We enjoyed seeing the strong connection you all have with your family, and how you wove those connections into your wedding, through Grandpa's pick-up truck, the many pumpkins and more.  God has definitely had his hand in your life from your unique beginnings, and it will be great to see where He takes you from here!"

Kelli + Cody

Megan + Jarvis

Megan is a fan of horses, and one time when we were meeting with her and her sister, we asked if there would be a horse involved in the wedding.  Sadly, no, we were told, and we left it at that... until, we were moving from the house where Megan and Kelli got ready, to the park where we would do bridal party portraits.  We saw two gals riding their horses alongside the road, and if you know Jodi at all, there is no shame in asking anyone for anything when it comes to a bride!  As you can see below, the girls said yes, and Megan got her horse pictures!  It's a wedding day... anything can happen!

When Jarvis was a little kid he was the ring bearer in a wedding, and this little red firetruck was his motivation for going down the aisle.  Now, many years later, it showed up at his own wedding, and seemed fitting for their ring shots.

Special thanks to Janene and Alyssa for helping with this wedding! We also shot Motion Photography, so it was wonderful to have extra hands and additional photographers along! Thanks you two!!

Bridal Preview

Sorry I can't post more tonight, but I just wanted to give you a glance at Kelli's bridal session from last week.  More to come later!  

The Mercure's :: Family

The leaves were just starting to change and it definitely looked like Fall had arrived.  As the Mercure family hopped out of their mini-van, we knew the session would be a fun one! Mike + Audra have the cutest little twin girlies you'll ever see. They started off a little bashful, but with some help from Mom and Dad's tickles and Jodi's crazy high fives, they were good to go!

"Mike + Audra, 

     We totally enjoyed meeting your family, and getting to know you a little bit!  You have the most adorable little girlies, and they were a lot of fun to ham around with! :) Thanks for trusting us to capture this precious stage of life... God bless!"

Emma :: Senior

Emma is a great gal that Jodi had the pleasure of working with a few weeks ago. It looked like the session was quite fun, and I love the picture with the VW Beetle!

"Emma, you've got a great personality, and were a lot of fun to work with! We wish you all the best as you pursue life, and all that lies in store for you! Enjoy your last year of high school!"

The McKay Family

What do 3 boys bored with having their pictures taken do with dry leaves and a bug zapper?  Try to make sparks and set the leaves on fire, of course! That's what I would have done.

Mike and Sherry have an amazing tree house in their backyard! To drive past their house, you would never guess it to be back there, but it is, and what great fun I'm sure it is for those grandchildren. 

"Mike & Sherry, you have a wonderfully handsome family, and beautiful grandchildren! You are very blessed, as I'm sure you know.  Thank you for letting us into your lives for a few moments, and the honor of capturing this important time in your family's life!"

Hannah + Jon :: Graffiti Love

Now, we realize that piano's aren't necessarily meant to be spray painted, but this one was! Hannah and Jon have a great story of meeting and falling in love, and it's been fun working with them and dreaming with them about their wedding later this Fall. Their love for each other, coupled with their love for God and his plan for their lives, will be a solid foundation for their marriage!  

"Hannah + Jon, 

We have enjoyed getting to know you both the past few weeks, and it's been great to hear your life stories and how you arrived where you are today. We hope you had as much fun at your engagement session as we did, and we're looking forward to celebrating your wedding with you in a few months!"
