There aren’t many words to describe what it’s like to be apart of someone’s wedding day. To be entrusted to document and preserve memories that will be passed down for generations and remembered for years. Weddings are a beautiful, sacred, selfless union and Ethan and Allie’s day was nothing short of that.

Ethan treats Allie like she is his precious treasure – it was evident during every second of the day as cared for and loved on his bride. Allie is full of joy and such a kind-hearted, sweet person. She was a stunning, radiant, full of life bride! You know you’re going to work well together when she says she wants photos like this at her wedding. ;) She is pretty much the cutest thing ever – now I know why Ethan likes her so much.

Allie and Ethan got married at the Rogers and Baldwin Historic Venue in Downtown Springfield and good grief was it gorgeous! Not only was the venue stunning, but there were so many stellar locations to shoot at since we were right in the heart of Springfield. These two kicked off 2014 wedding season with a bang! :)

I have to admit that I was getting a little teary eyed while the bridesmaids were praying for Allie… wow. What an amazing, beautiful time to pray over and thank God for Ethan & Allie’s marriage!
