Zhanell and Tyler {Edwardsville, Illinois Wedding Photographer}

Okay, this is how they met according to their Knot page. I thought it was too cute and I have to post it:

"According to Tyler, we first met at an Edwardsville Wrestling Club tournament weekend trip. We were playing video games later one night with friends when Rob (Zhanell's Dad) asked Tyler to make sure Zhanell made it back to her hotel room that night. Tyler assumed there must really be something wrong with her since the room was only on the second floor, but it turns out she's only the normal amount of crazy. Even though it seemed Tyler found it in his heart to escort the poor little girl to her hotel room later that night.
According to Zhanell, we first met in an english class in middle school. Zhanell claims that Tyler was a rude, mean, immature boy who would occasionally tease her. Even though her first impression of Tyler wasn't ideal, eventually she did see his good side.
No matter which version we agree to disagree on, we both claim that in high school was when we became great friends. We never actually dated in high school and it wasn't until our sophmore year of college that we actually became a couple. Once we were an official couple the rest as they say "was history". We have been together for three years now and couldn't be more excited to spend the rest of our lives together."

Is that not stinking adorable? I love the two of them. They are so much fun and the other day I felt like one of their best friends hanging out with them. Kathleen, Zhanell's mom came along to help and I am so glad she did. I love talking to her and we know a ton of the same people. I am looking so forward to shooting their wedding and cannot wait to see how fabulous they will look. These two sure know how to dress! I am already dreaming of the shots of Zhanell's wedding shoes. They are amazing!



I am going to start and end with my two favorite photos :) Love this one! It is so classic. It reminds me of an old movie.








Seriously, how cool is this caboose!?!?! I am so glad Zhanell suggested it.






Tyler is tall, dark and handsome and Zhanell is just a beautiful, classic beauty. So easy on the eyes and so easy to photograph. The camera loves them :)





Makes my heart flutter~~~~~~
