2010 is now officially all booked with huge THANKS to all my wonderful couples! I look forward to photographing your weddings this year! And you helped me meet one of my first goals for this year, which is fantastic.

Booking is definitely open for 2011 (and 2012 if you’re so inclined!). I’m still getting a lot of inquiries for summer 2010 weddings so I’m pinning this to the top for a while so this is visible first on the site. Remember, you can always see my calendar on my “Contact” page.

I’ve mentioned to several people lately that I’m participating in the News-Gazette‘s wedding expo on Sunday, September 13 at the Hilton Garden Inn. So Aaron asked “Why don’t you put it on your blog?” Why didn’t I think of that first?

You can see the details on www.c-uwed.com. There’s no entry fee for brides, grooms and their guests, so I hope to see a bunch of my future couples there!

I will be booking unsigned wedding dates that day, so anything not officially booked (with contract and deposit) will be up for grabs. So anyone thinking about signing with me, please send me your contract ASAP or come to the wedding expo!

Rosanne and Carl were married at the First Christian Church of Bement on Aug. 29. They have a really sweet love story that Carl told over toasts at Jim Gould’s in Champaign following the ceremony.

I’ve always wanted to do the ring pictures on an old timey piano. This one was perfect! And not to mention their gorgeous rings…


I was only with the family for 2.5 short hours, but it was great to be a part of their special afternoon!
