Erica Turner bio picture

 

I am a photographer, wife to a great guy, and mom to 2 awesome kids (whom I will feature on the blog from time to time, of course!). My roots are in graphic design, so I love nothing better than to tell your story through photographs. I really love what I do, you will probably catch me smiling a big cheesy smile behind my camera... I once heard a bride say "she giggles when she's getting the good stuff!". So be prepared to relax and have a great time, let me worry about the photographs, and rest assured you will have some amazing images to treasure. I work in a mostly candid manner, with some posing here and there.  Give me a call (417-839-3501) or send me an email (erica@turnercreative.net) anytime - I'd love to talk with you!! You can also find me on facebook or twitter.

 

Zac and Maggie - Wedding Galena Illinois (part I)

Zac and Maggie had one of the most beautiful country weddings I’ve ever seen in Galena, IL on October 17. I realize there are a lot of photos here, and this is only part one.. more tomorrow!! The ceremony was held at Oak Hill and the reception at the Ramada in Galena. There was so much love and happiness in the air, not only from the couple but from all of their friends and family. Maggie is a photographer as well, and that always makes me a little nervous - but that nervousness quickly faded as I realized how much fun their day was going to be. Thank you both so much for inviting me to photograph your wedding, it was an honor to be a part of your day!!

Ceremony: Oak Hill Weddings, Galena, IL
Reception: Ramada Galena, Galena, IL
Cupcakes: Kathys Kakes LLC, Independence, Iowa
DJ: Randy Demmer, Party Express
