Stephanie and Sean: Sneak Peek 6.12.09

Wow, yes I am SO behind on Sneak Peeks! 4 weeks almost! But i'm going to try to knock 2 out and then get the other 2 out next week (hopefully). I've just been so incredibly busy with everything. Editing, new sessions, albums, playing with Natalie, trying to keep my house looking decent, dinner for the fam and a little time with the hubby over 4th of July! It's still only taking me about 4-6 weeks to completely finish weddings though so that makes me happy while in the midst of crazy wedding season!
A week before Stephanie and Sean's wedding I had another wedding at the Beautiful English Inn. It's amazing how different you can make pictures look at the same location by changing areas and having completely different light from the sun!
I know that a sneak peek probably means just a few pictures but I can't resist posting most of my favorites from the in between shots!

The ducks decided they wanted to get their picture taken too!

A little pre-wedding treat.

As I can quote Stephanie saying "We don't like to take ourselves too seriously" I love that and this shot definitely proves that!

One of my faves:

My Niece Jenna: 2 Years Old!

Jenna turning 2 means that my Natty is 10 weeks away from being 2! I can't believe our girls are growing up so fast. It's so much fun that they get to grow up together and so close in age! They are definitely going to give us trouble, we just know it!

Yep, Definitely trouble...

...but sweet and cute too!

I also had to share the sweetest thing my 4-year old nephew told my sister in law to type me on Facebook yesterday:

Dear Aunt Jill,
I want to swim up north and get ice cream. I want to bring a game. Will you play with me?
Love, Josh

Awww, doesn't that just make you melt! It does me!

Meghan and Kevin: Engaged!

Meghan found out about me through our mutual friend Tricia. They work together and I have known Tricia for about 7 years. We played softball together. I'm super excited to do Meghan and Kevin's wedding even more now after doing their engagement session. I really love that Meghan chose most of my recommended vendors too! PLUS they are having their reception in the Football Stadium so it will make it my 2nd one up there! It's a very cool place with lots of possibilities!

Amber and Brendan's Full Wedding Preview: 6.7.09

Amber and Brendan came all the way from Florida to get married here. They chose the beautiful English Inn to get married and have their reception at. Definitely one of my favorite places!
Amber was totally chill the whole day and was SO happy to get to spend time with friends and family she has not seen in so long. I loved their wedding and can't wait to shoot Brendan's nieces wedding in September!
You can see their in between shots here.

Amber's awesome hair girl is none other than a maid of honor for one of my October weddings!

Meeting, pre-ceremony...

Amber seeing her friends arriving BEFORE the ceremony. She was totally chill and actually wanted to run up and give them hugs...

...and she did!

I love when I have enough leinence to get pictures of the parents watching the ceremony:

This was a remake of a photo I did a few years back in the same spot. Amber requested it!

The awesome escort cards that Amber MADE:

LOVE this cake! Most in part to the lovely Corinne from Sebesta Design once again!

The little broach that Amber made to put on her dress! She's crafty!

Funny!

I thought this one was SO cute:

Some of my favorite Father/Daughter dance pictures, such emotion!

Hillary and AJ: Engaged!

Back in the days of when I actually had a part time job and was going to photography school I had the pleasure of working with Hillary. She is one of the most driven and intelligent people I know! She's a saver, not a spender like me and also like me, bought her 1st house at 21 years of age. So when she told me she was engaged I was not surprised, being the mature woman she is. AJ is her perfect match. He is also incredibly intelligent with a degree in Japanese. I'm SO happy they found each other and can hardly wait to photograph their wedding in April!

I have my phone again!

It's been a crazy few days without a cell phone but kind of nice at the same time! I'm back in business with the same number though so feel free to call if you need to!

Thanks!

Erik and Kellie: My Little Brother and his Girlfriend!

I've miss my little brother terribly! He is in the Navy and stationed in Washington. We see him about once a year. This year he had a new person to bring with him-his girlfriend, Kellie. Kellie and I had been e-mailing and I was SO excited to meet her. She just seems like the perfect person for my little bro! We all have felt such joy getting to know her and seeing how happy the boy is (I call my little brother "boy") Our hometown is South Haven so of course I had to take them to the beach for a few pictures! The sun was out so bright that day though and that is hard to shoot!

She is JUST adorable!

We will miss you guys! Thanks for coming to visit!
