hello, nice to meet you.

We're illuminare photography + cinematography and this blog/website serves as our initial meeting ground, allowing you to get to know us and our work a little better.  While we have a portfolio section and frequently post blog highlights from our weddings and portrait shoots, we also keep the blog rolling with a bunch of various photos and videos that we do for ourselves when we're out just having a good time.  We feel that it's important to share this side of ourselves and allow you to see who we are, how we work, and what we think is cool. 

So sit back, relax and have fun browsing around!  And if you feel that we'd be a good match for you, we'd love to hear from you!

Katie & Logan

I’ve known Katie for a few years since she and Cindy went to college together.  She came down for a little visit and I love that she wanted to get some mom&baby shots of her and her little sweetheart, Logan.  I wanted to keep it really simple and clean, using just a white backdrop, and...

Our friends, The Gills

The Gills and the Janaks went for a little stroll on a rainy, windy and VERY cold day in early December. We had planned to go somewhere park like and pretty, but as the rain was coming down pretty hard, off and on,  we decided just to look for cover.  We managed to stay somewhat...
