We consider ourselves lucky to have gotten to work alongside some phenomenal vendors who we love bragging on whenever we can.  However, when you do as many wedding receptions as we have, you start to see a lot of familiar faces around each venue, from catering, to decorators, to wait staff and bartenders, and especially photographers.  We’ve gotten to work with and become friends with some of the best of the best photographers Central Illinois has to offer, but we recently got to work with a new name in our circle of wedding vendors – Amanda Jackson of Always 19 Photography.

While originally a Springfield native, Amanda now calls Missouri home and has a diverse portfolio ranging from engagement photos, senior photos, baby photos, expecting couples, and more.  She was the photographer at the Jennings wedding and we enjoyed getting to know her and especially watch her excitedly capture even the tiniest candid moments of the wedding party during the reception.  She has a remarkable eye for detail and she didn’t seem to stop smiling the entire time.  We’d love to get a chance to work with Amanda and Always 19 Photography again!
