Jaclyn + Ryan | Springfield, IL Wedding Photography


As a new(ish) small business owner, and more importantly, as a new photographer, I have this challenge laid before me of deciding which photography areas I would like to specialize in.  I am trying a little bit of everything right now, but have been completely captured and swept away by my wedding experiences so far.  I could have guessed this would happen- I am definitely one of those girls who adores all things weddings- as discussed here!
My fantastic, frequently mentioned, and quite inspirational wedding photographer Beth has been so sweet as to invite me to join her on a few weddings this summer, with more to come.  View her stunning post about this wedding here.  I have absolutely loved my experiences, and bring you Jaclyn and Ryan in this post!
I spent a lot of time helping Beth out in various ways at this wedding and mostly just took in the whole experience- but of course snapped quite a few pictures also.  Jaclyn is sweet and BEAUTIFUL and fully of life, and was just glittering her way through the day, so excited and giddy at the concept of marrying her love that afternoon.  Her dress was unbelievably beautiful, and as she got ready in her home, we got to spend  some time in her very own backyard doing pictures- it was so special!
