SandiJo + John | Dallas, Texas Steampunk Wedding | Erica Clark Macomb Peoria Quincy Galesburg Illinois Wedding Photographer

When John and Sandi asked me to photograph their wedding, I don’t really think I fully understood how magnificent it was going to be. I mean, we corresponded frequently via email and Facebook, and I obsessed over her Pinterest Boards, but for some reason, it didn’t really sink in until about 10 minutes before the…

what a seriously fun wedding! Congrats to the couple, I can imagine they have a great relationship! Great capture, Erica!

We didn’t treat you like family, you ARE family as far as I am concerned! That’s just how we roll in Texas. :) Thank YOU for these amazing images. I really have gotten to relive the day looking through them. My only wish was that you hadn’t gotten so stressed out over it and that you got to actually enjoy the day too :) You did an above and beyond job. I am lucky to have such talented people in my life. Each and every one of y’all inspires me to try new things and look at life in new ways. Big hugs from Texas!

Hey Erica – it dawned on me that someone might want to know who the individual burlesque acts were. Broads and Panties ran the show that included:
Levi DesPeu Chapeaux – the lovely but deadly lady above with a ray gun
Dorian D’Muerta – the hula hooping beauty queen who never missed a beat
Pixie O’Kneel- Shimming beauty and her sword
Vivienne Vermuth – HBIC ‘Head Beauty in Charge’ – and lovely in red from head to foot above
Lula Hoop Garou – the amazing stripping TARDIS – a Doctor Who dream come true

One of the things I am looking forward to about being a mother is bonding with my son during breastfeeding. I wish we had a LLL chapter in Quincy.

Curtis & Chelsea – Enagagement Session | Peoria Galesburg Quincy Macomb Illinois Wedding Photographer

Oh how I love engagement sessions! It’s one of the reasons I include them with all of my wedding collections, but more important than my giddiness for photographing couples in love, is the opportunity for engaged couples to get to know their photographer, experience being in front of the camera together before the wedding day,…

Little Miss Emma | Macomb Galesburg Quincy Peoria Illinois Photographer

Now that my daughter is almost 14 (good lord, where has the time gone?), I often find myself struggling to remember what kids do at certain ages. If I’m preparing for a session with a 3 month old, I ask myself, “What did Sidney do when she was 3 months old? Was she sitting up,…
