Christina & Kiki ::: Highland Park Community House Wedding Photographer

Today’s post is going to be a long one but such a good one!! Christina married her love Kiki over the weekend and it was such a beautiful day! Christina and I go back to the high school days and I can remember sitting next to her in band talking relationships and who our future husbands would be! How cool is it that God brought her to Kiki and I got to be the one to document it?! I love that! Kiki adores Christina and it is beautiful to see. I cried multiple times during their wedding day, especially when she was coming down the aisle and he was trying to hold it together. The weather was absolutely gorgeous for their big day which made for some amazing portraits which you will see below. Christina knows her style and I knew going into it that their details would be amazing! I pretty much died over her veil that was handmade by a family member!

They took a few moments before the ceremony to pray together. I love that the second she walked in the room she got excited because she smelled his cologne!

Ben & Kelly ::: Downtown St. Charles Engagement Session

Happy Monday!! Today’s session is with a couple that I have completely fallen in love with! I went to high school with Kelly and was so excited when she contacted me about doing their wedding! We first met up for coffee and instantly I felt at ease with these two. They were SO kind and have this easy presence about them. I could have sat and talked with them all day! Then during their engagement session it was the same thing. They are so laidback and funny and are just crazy about each other! Which made my job so easy. A few fun facts about them.They both love running and he even proposed at the end of one of their races! I think they even made it on the news for that:)They also love anything outdoors so they wanted to do some with a boat in the water to represent that. With it being early spring, we couldn’t find a boat rental but my friends who live at Riverwoods saved the day! Thank you Kyle and Jess! These turned out amazing and I think the boat/dock ones at the end are some of my favorites!
