A storm front made guests choose to stick with the meal tent, the party tent or inside the house. Wedding of Amy & Brad at the bride’s family home in rural Springfield. Wedding photography by Tiffany & Steve of Warmowski Photography.
Mark and Susan wanted their daughter to have a beautiful, outdoor wedding at their home in Bradfordton/rural Springfield, Illinois. Amy and Brad live in Las Vegas, so help in planning and organizing a wedding back home was much appreciated.
The wedding ceremony was held right next to the home, beneath a large oak tree which provided much-needed shade on a warm June day. After the ceremony the bride and groom did outdoor portraits in the wooded yard. The wedding reception was in a tent beyond the pool. And DJ and dancing were in another, smaller tent next to the home.

Lizzie & Brandon chose to have their wedding in Las Vegas, but brought the party home to all their friends who couldn’t make the trip with a reception at The Elks Lodge in Jacksonville.
Focus of the night was a live performance by the St. Louis-area band the Well Hungarians (also on Facebook), with plenty of dancing. Their cake had a Las Vegas sign, to recognize their wedding ceremony earlier in the year. The night also featured speeches and toasts by family, best man and maid of honor.

Amy & Ryan dance with a member of Fun DMC during their wedding reception at the Hoogland Center for the Arts in Springfield. With playful mashups and an endless supply of energy, the bride and groom said the live wedding band helped to make the night into a real party. Wedding photography by Tiffany & Steve of Warmowski Photography.
Band members had their set put together even before the afternoon wedding, and provided audio for the wedding service. Later when guests entered the room for the reception, the stage was dominated by a large, black screen with points of LED lights. After dinner events started with first dances, then quickly moved into the night’s performance by Fun DMC.
The bride and groom were surprised with a balloon drop during a performance of Nena’s 99 Luftballons. Amy and Ryan were really happy with the band, and pass on their recommendations. See a video of one of Fun DMC’s mashups.

WeddingWire review by June & Brandon — Steve and Tiffany beautifully captured our wedding and were there for every moment. They arrived early and stayed until the end, and it’s clear that they love their jobs. They are pros with years of experience — they come prepared, can work with any location and handle everything with ease. From portraits to photojournalism, they can give directions or work unobtrusively when needed. Some of our relatives and friends told us they were impressed with the Warmowskis and their professionalism and dedication — and they’re great people! They spent time with us before our wedding to create the best photo package for our needs. After our wedding, they helped us select images and worked with the printer to make sure our photo album was exactly what we wanted. When we look at the amazing photographs of our wedding, we’re so happy that we chose the Warmowskis!WeddingWire review by Kimberly & Stephen — We are extremely happy with Warmowski Photography and their involvement with our wedding in Lemont, IL. Tiffany and Steve do a fabulous job and the pictures capture the most incredible moments of the day. We would recommend them to anyone planning a wedding!WeddingWire review of Katie & Zach — (Bride) Beautiful photographs that captured every detail that we had planned for both the ceremony and our reception. The photographs really represent the feel of our wedding and Tiffany and Steve were such a pleasure to work with! (Groom) Excellent photographers! Tiffany and Steve photographed our wedding and captured every aspect beautifully. I highly recommend them…they were so easy to work with!WeddingWire review of Natalie & Lawrence — We could not be more pleased with the photography choice we made. Tiffany and Steve are INCREDIBLE!! Tiffany helped SO much besides taking pictures it was unreal. Tiffany helped fix the bridesmaid dresses when a small problem popped up and she had her handy dandy superglue and scissors when we needed them and no one had thought about bringing anything. Steve was amazing with the boys and hanging out like one of the guys and getting great getting ready moments with everyone. Together they are a dream team. They both made our day run smoothly and everything was flawless. I couldn’t dream of having anyone else there on our wedding day!
