Bryon + Erika = 2 Years

Bryon and Erika originally met while on the GROW program, a 9 month discipleship program run by our church, several years ago. Bryon is American and Erika is English, so once the program was done, they went back to their own countries and everyone would have thought that that was the end of their friendship. However, through the joys of the Internet, Facebook, and Skype, these two were able to keep in touch. Slowly but surely, their friendship evolved into a bit more and they expressed their feelings for each other. The Atlantic Ocean wasn’t enough to keep them apart, and Bryon flew over to England to ask Erika to marry him. She said yes, and they were happily wed. That was two years ago. We were delighted when they asked us to capture their anniversary in a fun, quirky, unique way. We got to hang out with them in a cool location and take pictures at the same time. Bryon and Erika are such a fun couple and we feel that this shoot represents them so well! Happy Anniversary, Bryon and Erika!

Koz + Carrie //Down On The Farm//

Craig “Coz” Kosinski and Carrie Shortsle are two peas in a pod. Both grew up on a farm and had one major requirement for their wedding: Country. So, from details such as camo on her dress to everyone wearing cowboy boots and her wedding party wielding real life hunting guns (safeties on and well guarded before and after), they went all out for their wedding.The best part, the part that surprised most people, was that she came down the aisle in a most nontraditional way: in the scoop of a tractor (fully cleaned out, of course!). Their whole wedding party (29 people in all!) were extremely fun to work with and hang out with. Probably one of the craziest things to happen was, in the middle of the reception, several of the bridesmaids kidnapped Carrie and brought her to a local bowling alley to have shots and bowl a couple rounds. Apparently it is a Michigan-style tradition, but it’s the first time we’ve ever experienced that and had a lot of fun capturing it.Overall, we had an amazing time at their wedding and we were able to get some amazing shots, so many that it was difficult narrowing them down! We hope you enjoy these photos as much as we do!

//Nick & Melissa Are Hitched//

Nick and Melissa originally met while serving in the Navy. They were on the same boat for years, but did not meet until the very end. We originally met with them to just do engagement photos, but we ended up being able to travel to them in Grafton, IL to photograph their wedding, as well. Melissa’s beautiful untraditional red wedding dress set the stage for their wedding, and their whole bridal party were loads of fun to hang out with. The beautiful town of Grafton had completely flooded the week before the wedding, and it continued to rain the whole day, but we were still able to get a lot of fun wedding photos inside of the beautiful log-cabin-inspired lodge. We loved being able to capture Nick and Melissa both and hope that you enjoy their photos!
