You’ve seen their engagement pictures and heard Jacob’s story.  Here’s how their wedding went.

I was driving east on Scenic Dr. crossing Sterling Ave. in Peoria when a pleasant octogenarian’s front left bumper made contact with my left rear wheel and bumper.  Fortunately, as far as I know, neither party was injured.  All the camera gear was fine too.

Beau was my faithful worker for this wedding, and he came to the rescue and was able to get pictures at the hair salon in my absence while my I talked to Rachel at home, my insurance agent, the police officer, the other party involved in the accident, the other party’s insurance agent, and my dad who left work to bring me a back-up vehicle within 30 minutes of the collision.  Goodtimes.

After wiping the tears of joy from their eyes after the veil went in, the bridesmaids took some pictures on their phones.

 

Beau headed to where the guys were readying themselves…

While I was at the church with the ladies.

Sure it was January 6, but the temperature for Central Illinois reached 57 degrees allowing us to do the first look pictures outside.

 

Then we all headed downtown to enjoy the sun.

Back to St. Vincent de Paul for the wedding ceremony.

And on to the Gateway Building for the reception.

 

Some gentle cake feeding.

And a full dance floor despite going DJ-less.

 

This picture was one of Beau’s favorite that he took during the day.  Mine too.  It’s just so full of fraternal manliness.

 

We’re so glad we were able to shoot this wedding for you guys.  With medical school for me, baby coming, and athletic directing for Beau, it was a wonderful change of pace and a beautiful day.

We hope you enjoy your pictures.

Update:  I was trying out some new editing software and exported the pictures in the wrong color space.  It’s corrected now.

The warm (in both color and temperature) sun went well with the cool (in both color and style) ties.
