Katie & Jamie's relationship will forever be intertwined with golf. Jamie lives for golf. Katie worked on a golf course. Their first date even happened because Jamie's dad boldly suggested that Katie go on a date with Jamie after meeting her during a round. And when you think about it, it's perfect. In both golf and in marriage hard work and perseverance tend to pay off and it's great to have a partner to help you shoulder a heavy load. And of course, a little hope goes a long way.

Katie and Jamie were married at St. James Catholic Church in Belvidere before being whisked away to Prairie St. Brewhouse, fantastically decorated by Backyard Soiree and Event Floral.  The day's schedule called for lots of time for celebrating and very little posed portraits, and that is fantastic.  I honestly believe the photography should be about your wedding day, not the other way around. The joy, laughs, tears, energy, chemistry are there. It just takes the right person to discover them. I'm glad that person was me.

Here's to you Katie and Jamie. Have a peek:
