Jen and Rick Barker

Jen and Rick got married this summer at Suncrest Christian Church in Crown Point, IN.

Jen made me think of a beautiful Disney Bride!!! And Rick was a smitten groom if I ever saw one. They are both so very sweet.

I love how close they both are to their families. Jen e-mailed me prior to the wedding day to fill me in on a little secret they were keeping from their parents. Jen and Rick planned a long dipping kiss at the end of their ceremony. I think it was safe to say they surprised their families and everyone else in attendance!! ;-)

This particular wedding ceremony was a little more special to me, personally than most others. An old friend from church camp was the officiating family. It was wonderful to see him and his family. Greg had such wonderful insights and things to say to and about Jen and Rick. After listening to him remark on their relationship, I was even more confident in and excited for their marriage!

Congratulations, Jen and Rick!!

Jeff & Emily

Hi! Katie here. It's been awhile, and for that I apologize. I have been editing photographs like a maniac, so despite...or maybe because...of my long absence in the blogging world, I know have lots to update you on. So keep watching for the latest in katiejames photography!

Jeff and Emily got married this summer in Keokuk, Iowa. It seemed to me like it was one of the hottest days on record!! ;-) In order that no one wilted, the shots that we took outside were quick and (hopefully!!) relatively painless.

Jeff and Emily are such a fun couple!! In fact, I'd forgotten what a blast I had shooting their big day until I began to go back through the photos and begin editing. They had a ball on their wedding day, and so did everyone that was a part of their wedding day. Their wedding party kept me laughing all day long. One of the most photogenic couples I've ever had the opportunity to shoot...they both have great smiles, and were quick to share them. It was a pleasure and an honor to be a part of their big day.
