| Wedding Album Design | Decatur IL Photographer |

You might remember last month that I highlighted a past client of mine and the recent first year album we’d created for them. The Stewarts were long-time clients but the distance when they moved to Arkansas made it pretty impossible for us to continue to do their milestone portraits for their second son but it did not stop us from creating one of our signature products for them!

But, you may not know that you don’t have to be a PAST client of Sarah Jane Photography to take advantage of our awesome product line and custom-designed products! Nope, you don’t have to have ever had a session here. While these days many clients want digital images (me too, with our own family portraits) often you find that after having them for awhile all those good intentions to print, hang and share them haven’t actually happened (me too – I STILL haven’t designed our own wedding album!). But not to worry, I can take all that off your to do list and work with you to create beautiful wall art galleries for your homes, from one or a decades worth of sessions and we can even create the wedding album of your dreams.

Which is exactly what I just did for this lovely couple. And what’s even better, this wedding album was a SURPRISE anniversary gift from the bride’s momma (how thoughtful and creative is that?!?!).

Plus, tune in soon and I’ll show you how we can even upcycle OLD family canvases on the wall into anchor pieces for your wall gallery – especially if you don’t like the images anymore.

| Heather + Cody | Springfield IL Spring Wedding Day | Sarah Jane Photography |

As we warm up a bit more this week and get a little glimpse at the coming spring I thought it would be a great day to show off a spring wedding! I had the honor to be a part of Heather & Cody’s big day and what an absolutely perfect and beautiful day it was. With a peacock color scheme this was anything but a dull wedding. It was bright, colorful, fun and full of so much love.

One of my favorite parts of Heather & Cody’s big day was their first ‘not’ look! You all may know I LOVE the first look part of the day. Why? Because it’s a moment for just the two of you. One where we slow things down (which can be a big contrast to what can often be a hectic wedding day). We carve out a few minutes for just you two, alone, to say hello. It’s a moment that’s always charged with energy and excitement, often tears, and lots of love. But even when a couple chooses to save that big first look for the aisle we can still give you a moment to connect without actually seeing each other. For Heather & Cody we created that moment at the train station, where Heather got to walk down the staircase to her groom, give him a hug and even hold his hand without ever revealing her bridal look.

| Amanda + Tom | Oreana IL Wedding |

Since it’s Decatur Bridal Expo week I thought we better squeeze a wedding feature onto the blog. My newsfeed has been filled with proposals and engagements over the last weeks and that’s SO exciting. So many of your friends/family (maybe even YOU) are headed into this brand new year with BIG things on the horizon… fun things like cake tastings and dress shopping and stressful things like selecting a date, getting invitations out and choosing every vendor from florists to photographers, that will help make the vision of your big day a reality.

Well this weekend (January 6th & 7th) you will have a ton of local vendors to meet and greet at the Decatur Conference Center and Hotel. I hope you stop by our booth (we’ll have a number of fun gifts and giveaways) and say hello!

But before we get to planning next year’s weddings it’s time to check out Amanda & Tom’s big day. We lucked out for their mid-November wedding and not only had beautiful, mild weather but also still had gorgeous color on the leaves outside the church! It was PERFECT.

We started their day at their home which let us add some personal touches including heading out to Tom’s garage to include his other loves (the wheels and engine kind!).

A special request of Amanda’s was to create a portrait with everyone of their guests. We don’t do this at every wedding but it’s always fun when we do.

And another fun perk with a late November wedding date is beautiful Christmas lights downtown. We had fun playing around in the park to create these (yes I even made them dance a bit, hahaha).

It’s time to show off Kellie & Ryan’s beautiful Niantic wedding with you today! One of my favorite parts about smaller older churches is the beautiful wood work and window details that are perfect for creative detail images… and that front door – swoon.

One of my favorite things to do during formal portraits on every wedding day is to try to create photos for the parents of the bride and groom along with the formal of the wedding couple. Often it’s been YEARS since parents have had images of just themselves and I just love seeing the connection and love in these families and even though it’s Ryan & Kellie’s big day, it’s also a big day for these four loving parents.

Every wedding is beautiful and unique and most are meticulously planned, yet somehow at just about every single wedding something goes not quite as planned. For these two our little hiccup (or adventure) for the day was that about 5 minutes before the ceremony was to begin the whole church lost power! Bride was a little nervous but we were prepared and able to photograph with no interior lights as was the videography team and the minister did a wonderful job sans mic. The result was actually a lovely candle-lit ceremony which will be a story for them to tell for years to come. (And about 5 minutes after the ceremony was complete the power came right back!).

It’s not every wedding that we have the chance to personalize their images like this…. at Kellie’s grandparent’s home with a tractor that’s been in her family for generations!

Erin’s Pavilion in Springfield is a beautiful venue for any wedding or reception and one of the biggest reasons why from a photography standpoint is the abundance of stunning locations close by for portraits. This small garden out front was my favorite for this ‘wall of ivy’ type look. We had fun with everything from laughing poses to Kellie’s fierce model look below.

Whenever possible I like to sneak out of the reception with the bride and groom for a few quick sunset images. This gives us something different from what we’ve created earlier in the day, shows the bride with dress bustled (and/or veil gone – Kellie rocked hers all night) but it’s also just a minute with the two of them alone amid the reception festivities which is always romantic!

I have to say it was a joy to be a part of this beautiful couple’s wedding day and I love their hashtag #keelingitkelley because YES this bride’s new name is Kellie Kelley (isn’t it adorable!).
