CENTRAL ILLINOIS SUNSET WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER Mini Styled Shoot

This session happened near the beginning of September, and I have wanted to blog it every day since then!!  When I photographed Sarah and Jacob’s romantic spring wedding, we got so much portrait time due to her first look! But because of the schedule, locations, and way that the timing worked out, we didn’t get to grab sunset images.

When I realized that I needed to create a mini styled shoot for my promo video filming (more on that soon!), I knew immediately that I wanted to take this couple that I adore back out in their full wedding outfits and get some great sunset pictures!  As I started planning the day, it all came together beyond what I ever imaged! Petals & Co based in Rochester came on with us while planning and provided the absolutely most beautiful bouquet I believe I have ever seen that matched my vision for the shoot so perfectly.  I cannot speak highly enough about this florist–future brides, write this down!! 🙂  Michelle went above and beyond to help me with this project and I just cannot get over how beautiful this bouquet was- which is why I took so so many images of it!!

I am so excited to share these of a couple that is so special to me!  Sarah is my assistant and adds so much to my business and life on a daily basis- so this was so fun to do for them!! Enjoy this gorgeous session!
