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!

Day 1, Gulf Shores, lots…and lots..of family. I gotta say, when this family gets together, it’s an unbelievably good time. There was great food, some intense poker playing (which I came out of unscathed, miraculously) and of course, the karaoke/rock band set-up. Well, as you can see from the picture above, as the night wore...
So just this last week Ann and I took a week off to head out to Gulf Shores, Alabama with a bunch of family. We’re big fans of road trips, so we opted to drive out there. The first day was mostly done late at night and in rainy weather, but the second day allowed...
My niece Jillian (Jilly Bean) turned one in February. I thought she was cute when she was born, but I gotta tell ya, I don’t think it gets much cuter than this! This little girl sure loves her daddy!
