This was one of those weddings, where after I got home from a long day on my feet, I sat down and thought: "I could shoot a hundred weddings in a row, if they were all like this one." Simply put, Karis and Dirk had my idea of a perfect wedding. It was laid back, beautiful, charming and truly spoke to who they were as a couple.
Heritage Prairie Farms in Elburn, IL was the perfect setting for their day. They had a beautiful garden ceremony where the hanging vases of brightly colored flowers were the perfect backdrop for their sweet vows. The flowers by Wallflower Designs were just incredible and so, so sweet. Karis and Dirk's tented reception was filled with laughter and love, and their food was amazing! We loved their favors of organic honey, and their adorable name cards held with little magnetic animals. Closing the evening with marshmallows over a bonfire was, in my book, just right.
