Crystal & Travis – May 25

UPDATE: Proofs are online here!

UPDATE: The preliminary album design is now up here!

UPDATE: Hey everybody, I’ll have the album preview up later today… hang in there!

Another Sunday wedding… in Illinois! This time in Peoria, my day started once again at the hair salon, but this time only the bride was getting hair done… so she got my full attention!

After that, we headed over to Crystal’s brother Shawn’s new place…

… where Crystal began her makeup. I have to say, I could’ve shot all day on the patio we were using, the light was gorgeous:

And a special friend was enjoying it as well:

The helper gets some help:

And before I knew it, it was dress time!


Makeup gets all kinds of uses…

Crystal gets some much needed refreshment:

But she does share:


And mom finally gets her moment…

Beautiful! :0)

Skipping ahead to the ceremony, does Travis look a little nervous here?

Not sure, but by the time Crystal is given away…

… he’s all smiles again!

After the ceremony, Crystal and Travis got a few moments alone in the vineyards of Kickapoo Creek Winery, and a light rain only added to the romantic mood:

Dad gets a kiss just before the reception…

… where Crystal gets a little fiesty when sharing the cake!

A wonderful image from the first dance:

A great toast from Katina:

Showin’ off that ring:

And dancin’ the night away:

A huge thanks from Lanette, Tory and myself to everyone there for making us feel so welcome. It was a very unique, enjoyable experience, and I can’t wait for everyone to see the rest of the images, so stick around!
