Neicy introduced herself to me as a bride who was planning her wedding reception at a Pinstripes bowling alley in Barrington IL. I let her know that I’d be happy to see her walk down the aisle and then walk down the lane. They started their wedding day getting ready at the Raddison in Rockford. […]
Craig and Krissi wanted a small wedding and had thought of getting married in Vegas. But after knowing how much family wouldn’t be able to attend they opted for a ceremony here at home. They were married on the deck of Franchescos in Rockford with a cool breeze on the warm day. The wedding pictures […]
Brad and Krista were married Saturday at the First Lutheran Church in Rockford. This is one of those older churches which has been well maintained over the years. Dad sat down at the organ before the service and made the entire sanctuary resonate. Krista is an avid Pinterest tagger, and I only recently signed up […]
The Stateline Splendor has done it again, producing a fabulous wedding show with over 300 brides and 50 vendors who could help them with their planning. Their next show will be coming in the spring.

George and Mindy were married at Starved Rock State park. It’s a place where they have done a fair amount of hiking, so it only seemed appropriate to hold their wedding there. We made it all the way into the canyon for some “cool” photos.
Cory and Cristal were married at Our Saviors Lutheran church and followed their celebration with a reception at Franchescos. Planning a wedding from Texas can sometimes be a challenge. But with the ability to post photos and samples online everything went smoothly. They had their finished album delivered to them within a month of their […]
There aren’t many times when I can say there wasn’t a dry eye in the room. As the maid of honor stood up to give her toast, an unpretentious computer was set up in the back of the reception hall. Finally in tears she announced that their cousin was going to be calling in from […]
Steve and Stephanie were married Saturday at First Born Ministries with a reception following at Sams. The one thing we didn’t get to do but will later is have photos with Stephanies horse. Now that’s going to be fun.
