A blog of our current photography work.
I just love photographing weddings out in the country. Something about the fresh air and open space makes me feel right at home. Sable Creek Homestead in Minooka, where Lauren and Brandon had the wedding, was the perfect setting for their day! Lauren got ready on site in the huge bridal suite before we did a first look at the nearby Baker County Forest Preserve. It was quite windy that day and, fortunately, this location blocked all of the wind while we did portraits. The fall color in the forest was glorious! Their ceremony was held on the homestead and the site was built by hand by the owners. Everything about their day was just absolutely gorgeous and perfect and I feel so blessed that I got to capture it all. Congratulations to Lauren and Brandon!!
Trisha and Martin celebrated their marriage a few weeks ago in Oswego, IL at the amazingly rustic Emerson Creek. It was such a beautiful summer June day and the sun lit up Trisha and Martin’s faces as we did portraits around the property. They had a short but sweet ceremony with the corn fields as a backdrop. I had so much fun being a part of their celebration and wish them congratulations!!
Colton and Val were originally going to have their wedding back in July and rescheduled for the first weekend in November. Strangely enough we had almost summer-like weather! They had their small outdoor ceremony on a little island on pond at the Smith Horse Farm in Kankakee. It’s no secret that I love backyard weddings and when the client’s backyard is a horse farm I am in heaven! Here’s a few highlights from Colton and Val’s wedding: working for the Smith family again, horses, a sunny AND warm November day, Colton’s cowboy hat, Val’s turquoise necklace, and all the smiles! I knew it was going to be an amazing day when I arrived and the ring bearers were fishing. Congrats to Colton and Val! I had the best time photographing their wedding ceremony!!
Farm weddings are such chill and laid back affairs which is right up my alley. Madison and Matt’s wedding on the family farm in Beaverville, IL earlier this month was just that! Everybody was just hanging out and having fun and in the middle of it all Madison and Matt got married. Some of the highlights from their wedding is doing bridal party portraits surrounded by really pretty autumn color, the lounge on the lawn, dinner by food truck, the best donuts I’ve ever eaten, and s’mores around the bonfire. What a beautiful day!
