Jill & Nathan

Six years ago a young 13 year old was a Jr. Bridesmaid in a wedding that I videotaped. This past Saturday I had the opportunity to photograph her wedding.

Jill & Nathan were married at The Refinery in Champaign, IL. Actually, with the help of Kathy and Chuck Moore, we provided both photo and video coverage of their wedding.

Hopefully we'll have a video clip available after the video has been edited, but for now ... a few of my favorite shots.

Father of the Groom (to be)

I've always been on the outside looking in when it comes to weddings. Next year that will change. My son Brad proposed to girlfriend Teri and the entire family was very excited to find out she said yes.

You can count two dates as being unavailable in 2008 ... May 23rd and June 14th. Brad & Teri will be getting married at Secrets Capri in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. We're all flying down to spend time in the sun, play on the beach and do some shopping. (Ok, I lied about me being excited to shop, but Nicole and Barb will have their track shoes on.) Brad and Teri will be staying on to honeymoon while Barb, Nicole and I fly back. I have a wedding the following week, so we can't stay too long.

You can bet I'll be taking the camera, but I'll set it down during the ceremony and let someone else do the work.

June 14th will be the reception back home, so we're looking forward to one heck of a party with friends and relatives.

Shonda and Andy

Talk about ambiance ... Shonda and Andy got married at The Stables in Terre Haute. A great restaurant in the old brewery part of town. That, along with great friends, relatives, and of course the food ... made for a fun day.

Here's a few of my favorites.
