Kelly and Matt's Wedding

There are a lot of photos in this post, but it's just the way it has to be.

This.was.an.amazing.wedding.

We didn't know each other before we did their engagement session, but shooting Kelly and Matt's wedding was like being at a private outdoor concert with friends.  Only two people just happened to get married, and we just happened to document every incredible second.

First of all, if you're going to have your dog at your wedding, and she's going to be wearing a floral wreath, you know we are going to get along just fine.  Couple that with amazing music by the Waydown Wanderers (who we have since been listening to non-stop), plenty of DIY details, homegrown flowers, a jaw-dropping BHLDN gown, and damn good people, all on your family's farm -- you've got yourself a recipe for one of our favorite weddings of all time.

Please enjoy a few (ok, many, many) photos of Kelly and Matt's beautiful farm wedding...

Monica and Dan's Wedding

Monica and Dan are dear friends of ours.  Their sweet, handcrafted wedding earlier this summer was so filled with amazing details (all made by our amazingly talented friend, Monica) and was absolutely bursting with love and laughter. We were honored and overjoyed to be a part of their day!

Monica and Dan were married at their local church in Streator, Illinois.  From there we went to The Silver Fox   for some portraits of the two of them and their bridal party, before heading over to the Country Mansion for their beautiful reception.  They had a cake at every table, and a candy table that was out of this world.  Every detail was so adorable, and we loved the recurring chalkboard theme throughout their whole day!

We couldn't be happier for these two, and wish them a lifetime of love and happiness!

Congratulations, Monica and Dan!

Paul and Raelle's Wedding

My cousin, Paul, and his beautiful bride, Raelle, were engaged this past winter.  After a whirlwind of events (and with the help of family) they planned and pulled together an adorable, intimate wedding in a matter of only 3 weeks! I was so happy that I was available for their day, and road-tripped down to Louisville with my little sister and my mom to photograph it!

Paul and Raelle had a beautiful day.  The forecast looked a little iffy leading up to the wedding, but they ended up with absolutely amazing weather for their day.

They were married at historical Shawnee Park in Louisville.  Raelle's grandfather performed the ceremony.   The vows were short, sweet, and heartfelt. The laughter was genuine, and the company was unbeatable!  All the guests had fun mingling, dancing and playing lawn games.

Take a look at a few of my favorite photos from their wedding!

Congratulations, Paul and Raelle!  Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your day!!
