Allison & Scott

Nicole and I had a great time shooting Allison and Scott's wedding a few weeks ago. I guess you could say that it was a rather large wedding party, with 9 bridesmaids and 11 groomsmen. They were all cooperative and lot's of fun, which made my job much easier.

We had hoped to roam around EIU for a while for some outdoor shots, but once we got on the trolley for a quick ride, we knew it wasn't going to go quite as planned. We did manage to get together for a couple of group photos, but we no more than got back on the trolley for the ride back to the church and the skies opened up.

The reception was just awesome (and I don't use that word very often). We typically don't have weddings with live bands in the central Illinois area, but the Paul Windsor Orchestra made the trip down from Chicago and kept the EIU Grand Ballroom dance floor filled. It was a great night for everyone!

Thanks to the Smiths and the Ohlanders for allowing us to be a part of their day.

Below are a few photos and a quick slide show. You'll need Quick Time to view the slide show.

ARTCo Performs Oklahoma

Every year the Actors Rural Theatre Company based in Tuscola, IL does a summer musical. This year is the classic OKLAHOMA!. It's being presented July 17-20 and the 24th through the 27th.

Tuesday night was a dress rehearsal so I snagged a few shots and put together a quick slide show.

I should mention that I have a starring role in the show ... I'm farmer #5 in the back row of the last scene. ;-)

Oh yeah ... you'll need Quick Time to view the video.

ENJOY!

Jody & Carl

Jody & Carl were married in Champaign on June 28th. We provided both photo as well as video coverage of their wedding.

We had a little time prior to the ceremony to slip over to the U of I Arboretum for a few shots. The way this year has been going it was nice to see that the weather cooperated.

Below is a slide show that they will receive along with their video.
