Julie and Danny shared a wonderful day with friends and family in St. Louis, as their long awaited wedding celebration took place. Julie had a vision and she asked Josie and her staff of Cosmopolitan Events to help make it all happen. Rustic Elegance was the theme of the day and it was showcased through every element. The couple chose the Studio Inn in Chesterfield, for their tented reception and then danced the night away under starlight skies. It was a refreshing and beautiful day.
Gorgeous!! Everything is so dreamy and romantic, I love it. And Erin's style is to die-for!

(08.05.10 @ 10:54 PM)Words can not express the simplicity and beauty that went into Kate and Ben's wedding on the campus of Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana. Kate and Ben are one of those couple who are very style savvy to begin with. So, it is no surprise that they did a incredible job designing this wedding along side of their super hero event planner Cathy Teeters of Beautiful Weddings in Bloomington, IN. She enabled the wedding day to go off without a hitch. We had a little bit of heat but not enough to bring down a crazy wedding party.
Kate knows a thing or two about weddings she is the editor of Bride-Buzz a wedding blog for daily wedding inspiration. When you see the details of the wedding invitations, the ceremony cards and the place setting menu you can say she knows her stuff. Even the little map that she created that was in the gift bags for all of the out of town guest.
If you have never been to Bloomington, IN you should. There is more there than just IU Basketball! We fell in love with the city and look forward to going back.
This week we are doing things a bit different, so leave a comment if you like it this way. I am not going to do a online showcase for two reason. One there were just to many details with this wedding that I wanted you all to see. The second reason is this, in about two weeks we will have a teaser of their Black Label Project. Andy, and myself shot about 15 rolls of super 8 film. We had a blast and Andy is working on a teaser right now. Please stay tuned for that. We are really excited about this Black Label Project of Ben and Kate's wedding.
Some fine vendors who made all this possible
Who doesnt love some good family images! This also was the same church that Kate's mom and dad we married as well as thier grandparents. How about that for tradition.
SWEEEEEEEEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(07.23.10 @ 07:00 PM)Jeff and Julia, Ben and I are DYING over these pictures. You guys are just simply the best, and you captured all of the elements that, yes, I did just slightly obsess over for the past year. We can't thank you enough for being part of our big day. Love, love, love these photos and you guys. Can't wait to see the video! --Kate
(07.24.10 @ 11:02 AM)Jeff and Julia, thanks for awesome pictures. We are so happy for Kate and Ben and you and Jeff have made their wedding even more special with your talents! I can't imagine anyone better than you.
Thanks again, Tom and Sarah

(08.04.10 @ 08:29 AM)Gorgeous images you guys! The details are amazing, and I love the shot of the confetti exit.
(08.07.10 @ 07:13 AM)WHOA - I'm speechless. These are just gorgeous pictures. They actually come close to doing justice to how beautiful Kate (and Ben) are. So sorry we had to miss the wedding. What a wonderful blessing these amazing pictures are. (I'm jealous) ;)
(08.08.10 @ 01:44 PM)Gorgeous couple and stunning photos! Love the reception decor. So fun.
(08.26.10 @ 02:38 PM)Words cannot express the honor that Jeff and I feel as we photographed the 3rd wedding for the Tolley family. From Ellen & Chad to Rachel & Paul and now Janice & Nick, there is no doubt these girls have plans to carry on the generations of healthy happy marriages that have been modeled by their parents and a long line of grandparents.
Janice and Nick had a day full of love and fun as they whole heartedly exchanged their vows at the First United Methodist Church and then left to celebrate with their bridal party at the Railroad Days in Galesburg. The prefect party followed at the Orpheum Theatre where for many years, Janice had preformed on the stage in a large variety of plays. As a young lady, Janice lit up the stage fulfilling her passion for acting, she never dreamed that one day, she and the love of her life would light up the very same stage as they shared their first dance as husband and wife. It was just one of the many elements that made this day very special for Janice and Nick and all those that had the honor of observing it.
Check out more images here! On Nick and Janice's Love Inspired Showcase.
SO so gorgeous, every single one. Thank you for all of the inspiration you provide to me and other young photographers out there.
